The script is for what purpose?

You'll agree with me that, getting a good domain name today is tough. Every important English word you can think of has been registered as a domain name. Every 3-letter word has been registered. In 2014 there were 271 million active registered domain (wikipedia). The number of registered domain is far far much than the number of website today simply because, the domain industry is full of opportunistic "traders" who buys domain not because they want to use it for themselves but because they want to resell it.

This is quite frustrating as you seek out domain name for your blog or website only to discover it has been taken by someone else. But that does not mean you can't get a better one.

[size=13pt]Follow these tips to get the best domain for your blog or website[/size]

1. You domain name should be based on your keyword: Your domain alone should give the reader an idea of what your website is about. A domain name like "MensHealth.com already tells you what the website is all about. Imagine you blogging about schools, admission, education and the likes and your domain name is something like, "SportFreak.com". It is not advisable to use your name unless it is a personal blog.
Creating a blog about short stories should contain words like "tale, tales, tell, story, fiction, etc." Play around these words by combining them or adding suffixes and prefixes to get a good domain.

2. The shorter the better: Your visitors are more likely to come back to your blog/website if they remember the domain name. A short domain name is easier to remember than a longer one. So make sure your domain is as short as possible.

3. Make it unique: Making your domain name simillar to a popular website already owned by someone else is a beginning of failure. I once saw a forum "nairaland.+net". That's not a wise decision. If is not Nairaland, it can never be Nairaland. I once made the mistake myself. I hurridly bought "www.Emnet.com.ng" only to discover there's another website with the domain name "www.EmnetMedia.com.

4. Use a Dot-com domain name: .com is the first thing that comes to mind when you mention your blog or website name. If you're not concerned with "type-in" traffic, you shouldn't be worried about this though. While typing in your domain name for the first time, the prospective visitor is bound to try the dot-com first and you may end up loosing them.

5. Avoid hyphens and numbers: it is hard to verberly give your domain name when numbers or hyphens are used. Something like, "Love4U.com, countries-ofthe-world.com" will be hard to verberly give out without taking time to explain numbers and hyphen.

These are just a few tips to follow, but they're the basic ones to consider when choosing a domain name.

I love the comments am seeing here.
Like the poster above said, Your intentions of setting up a blog just to make money does not actually determine whether you'll make the money or not.

But you should understand that, making money is not the next thing after successfully setting up your blog.

I could remember setting up a blog for someone some time ago, and the next thing the person asked was "how will I start placing adverts?". Can you imagine that?

Blogging requires zeal, commitment, passion and determination. Before you start making money, you should have a number of loyal readers of your blog.

Blogging can be simple and complex at the same time.

You can always contact me for your blogging needs

The same story everyday. 'make money online, make money online'

And yet you can't afford a domain name
