Choosing the right domain name for your business or personal website is crucial for your success.


If you choose the wrong domain name, then it might not be so easy to switch to a new preferred one without hurting your brand and search rankings.

This is why it is important you do it right!


The steps below will guide you;

(1) Know what the different Website extension means - .com,.ng, .org, .net, .edu etc. means.

Extensions of a website gives insight to users on what the website does even before you visit the site. Take for instance, .edu is used by institutions or schools. .com is used by companies, .org is for organisations.

.com is still the most established and credible domain name extension.

Use Keywords in Your Domain Name Search

Keywords play an important role in a domain. By using keywords in your domain name, you tell the search engines what your website is about. Together with quality content and good user experience, keywords in your domain can help you rank higher in Google.

(3) Make Your Domain Name Easy to Remember, Pronounce and Spell

You should be able to easily share your domain name when speaking as well as writing. You never know when you’ll be asked to share your domain name in person. And make it very easy to recollect or remember.


(4)Keep it Unique and Brandable

Your blog domain name must be unique, so you can stand out in your readers’ minds. It’s smart to research other blogs in your niche and find out what domain names they’re using.

(5) Use Domain Name Generators for Clever Ideas

Currently, there are more than 360 Million registered domain names. This is where domain name generators come in. These free tools automatically search for your defined keywords to find hundreds of clever domain name ideas for you.

Nameboy is a good tool for this purpose. There several others too.

Act Quickly Before Someone Else Takes it

Each day thousands of new domain names are registered from all parts of the world. If you don't act quickly, someone else will take your domain.

most of the domain I'll like to buy are either taken, ridiculously expensive, or just bought by resellers without hosting anything reasonable on them
