| A to Z of Domain Name
Selection | |
| | | |
I | I is
for Identity | |
| | Your domain name is your identity in the
new digital economy. Be very
careful to pick the right domain names for you business before
you go online. Being forced to find a new identity after launch is a
very time-consuming and costly business. | |
J | J
is for Just A Minute | |
| | We sometimes get contacted by parties who
say things like “Just a minute, we've been trading successfully for the
last year under the name 4MikesWindows.net. What you're doing is a
scam.” | |
| | The truth is that a poor choice of name
will always reduce the number of visitors (and hence customers) to
your website. Sure, you can still run a successful online business with a
lousy name, but your business will always do better with a good name. And
what happens when a competitor comes along with a much better name? | |
H | H
is for Hosting | |
| | Having a domain name without web space is
like having an address without a home. This is what hosting
is all about, where your name is parked at a server computer on the
Internet, so that other Internet users can access your website. | |
K | K
is for KISS | |
| | "Keep it Simple, Stupid". Use easy
to spell words. Use easy to pronounce words. Limit names to two
words if possible, three words as an absolute maximum. Remember that
the idea is to create domain names that people can easily remember,
and just as easily type into their browser. | |
L | L
is for Length | |
| | Domain names can now be up to sixty seven
characters in length, but we would never advise you to register a name
anywhere near that. The golden rule of selecting a good name is short
is sweet. Would you like to type a sixty seven character domain string
into a browser? No, and neither does anybody else. | |
M | M
is for Multiple
Spellings | |
| | Some popular English language words are
spelt differently around the English-speaking world. For instance, Jewelry
(US) Vs Jewellery (UK). If you have an international business, make sure
you register all of the different spellings. | |
N | N is
for Now! | |
| | Register
your preferred names now! Otherwise someone else will. | |
O | O
is for Offline | |
| | Don't forget that your primary domain name
will be used extensively offline as well as online. It will appear
on your company letterhead, business cards, advertisements in newspapers,
magazines, radio and TV. Your goal should be to familiarize all your
existing customers with your domain, and plant the name in the minds of
new customers. Now are you getting the idea about how important domain
names really are? | |
