5 Best Reasons Why You Should Change Your Domain Name Right Now! by Nobody: 9:15am On Jan 22, 2017 |
For those who might not know, a domain name is the URL in which a website can be accessed with. For example; this forum you currently are, can be accessed via www.Nairaland.com Now Reading the title of this post, You must have been wondering that what reasons COULD make one think of changing his/her domain name? be a new domain or an old one. Well, below listed are some of the reasons. . . . . 1. Complicated Name - If you tell someone on phone to visit "Nairaland.com", there are high chances that the person wouldn't make mistake when typing the URL. This is not only because Nairaland is a popular forum but because the NAME is easier to pronounce and write down. Taking another case of a site "gaeskytuzcw.com" - Apart from the fact that it will be hard to pronounce this URL, the receiver also would find it hard to get the right spelling easily. 2. Too Long of a domain name - Why would someone be interested in a site that took 5 minutes JUST to type the URL? I mean a site like www.beinspiredandgethealthwithwealthtogether.com would definitely be a pain in the neck of visitors . Try making your domain name as simple, as short and as precise as possible . http://www.netsocialblog.com/2016/10/5-reasons-to-change-your-domain-name-now.html 3. So Familiar with an Existing Domain Name - You wanted to register a domain name and you're thinking of something like "Nairalandi.com" or "Facebooku.com", my brother/sister THINK TWICE! Having a domain name very related to an existing domain can confused the people you share the url with. 4. Using Personal Name vs Unpredicted Future - Just because you see lindaikeji have a site as her name doesn't imply you too should. If you wanted to do so, thou should do it for a solid reason and not cos of Linda. Also ask yourself that can you cover the cost of your personal domain name for a VERY long time as no-one would be willing to buy it in case you wish to sell in the future. 5. Domain Not Related To The Site's Content - You have a domain name as "allroundsports.com" and when people check your site, your content is all about Agriculture. You think you are doing me, You are doing yourselfApart from being a turn off for readers, it is also bad for your site's SEO There you have it, the 5 reasons why you should change your domain name!

Nice write-up. I would add using hyphenation and digits in your domain name can also be one of the valid reasons why you need to change your domain name. As regards personal name, there could be an exception if the name is also the business name because you wouldn't want just anyone to hijack it from you. |

Re: 5 Best Reasons Why You Should Change Your Domain Name Right Now! by Nobody: 7:41am On Jan 23, 2017 |
maximum007: Absolutely bro... I've seen the case where someone uses his full name as domain name! I mean FULL NAME (first name, last name, middle name and other name) thus making it complicated |

Re: 5 Best Reasons Why You Should Change Your Domain Name Right Now! by Nobody: 8:04am On Jan 23, 2017 |
Doubleoo:Thanks for the adding to the list! You're quite right about this. For those who might not know; hyphenation is something like www.nairalandi_-you.com while digits is like www.nairalandi2015.com As regards personal name, there could be an exception if the name is also the business name because you wouldn't want just anyone to hijack it from you.Yes, Business or brand name is exceptional and thats why i mentioned unpredictable future. For those that feel they can't manage their site for as long as forever, they shouldn't go for a personal domain name 1 Like |

Chipappii: that url is too twisted, if perhaps the moniker was more easy to the ear, it would have worked, but first, a prospect of your site have to battle to remember "Chip"? Chipap? Chipapi?... Even if he/she gets it right, getting the spellings would be difficult.(where would the double 'I' and 'P' stand?) etc. 2 Likes |

techrom: In the first place, you ought to have made research as to whether the custom domain of techrom is available before registering the free extension In this case, you can brainstorm another domain idea that looks cool. For instance, lindaikeji.blospot.com turns to lindaikejisblog.com when she found out that lindaikeji.com has been hijacked by someone else |
