Search for available domain names !
Creating a website is not just about creating your pages, designing them and including all the important information. It is also about creating a domain name that relates to your products and services and is easy to remember and spell for your customers!
A domain name that is easy to remember will have more return customers and more word of mouth advertising than domain names which are hard to spell, remember, or both. If your site doesn't necessarily need to be international, then you also consider buying a domain for your own country instead of .com - .de for Germany (Deutschland), or a co.uk for the UK, for example. Stick with a .com, don't opt for .tv, .biz, or any other suffix if at all possible especially if that exact domain name is taken as a com. You will end up losing business to that site.
Now submit a list of domains to seach for.If you are lucky, some domains are available. Register them and don't wait until them get someone else. Don't set your mind on one particular domain name. Also remember that there are niches where every two dictionary words names are already taken. You may need a patience to find the available and good one.
Why more than one domain name? One domain is all you need to set up a website. But with more domains directing to your site, you can have these additional benefits: - Bring site visitors who type variations of your domain name - Acquire traffic that might otherwise go to your competition - Harness the marketing power of keyword domains
Your primary domain name: If it's feasible, use your business or brand name in your primary domain. People will remember it and associate it with your business. Also consider the following factors when choosing your primary domain.
Domain name extensions: Should your primary domain end with .com, .net, or .biz, or with a country-specific extension such as .ca or .co.uk? If your website is aimed at people in a specific country, having a country-specific domain can help as site visitors will recognize right away that the business has a presence in the country of the extension. They may therefore be more comfortable buying from you. On the other hand, if you're targeting an international audience, a country-specific domain could work against you. People from outside the country of the extension may be less inclined to buy if the business looks foreign to them. If you want to attract both people within your country and those in other countries, have both. Each domain could direct to the same site, with each audience seeing the domain intended for them. For country-specific search results, the primary domain should be the country-specific one. Chances are that the .com domain you want is already taken. If you use the .net or .biz version, you risk having potential site visitors go to your .com competition instead. Be sure to use the full domain name on all promotional material to reduce this risk.
Domain name length: A short domain is easier to remember, it has less risk of being mistyped, and it'll fit easily on your business cards and correspondence. Conversely, if a short name doesn't represent your business, it's more difficult for people to remember. The short names you like may already be taken anyway. If your business name is up to three easy-to-spell words, it'll probably work as a domain name. For a longer business name, the initials or just one or two words may be easier than remembering a combination of words.
What people search for: If you want to find the website for Time magazine, you might do a search for it, or you might try typing in time.com. If you do the latter, you'll find yourself at the Time site. This type of search behavior extends to generic words too. Searching for dog collars? Try dogcollar.com, for example, and you'll be redirected to dogidcollar.com. Do you want life insurance? Lifeinsurance.com redirects to nmfn.com (and so does northwesternmutualfinancialnetwork.com).
How to use more than one domain: Set up your website with your primary domain, and use that domain on your correspondence and with your customers. Point secondary domains to your site using URL forwarding (also called domain forwarding, domain redirect, or URL redirect). To have the secondary domain appear in the browser, use domain masking. You can set up these features when you log in to your account with your domain registrar (if your registrar offers these services). With domains that are simply variations of your primary domain, you can expect additional traffic just from having set up these domains. With domains that contain keywords, you can get more from them by using them to list your site in online directories. When these domains appear in search results, searchers will see the keywords.
The next step! Once you decide on the available domains that you want, register them immediately. They might not be available tomorrow. If you don't already have a business name, you'll find it easier to market your business online if you choose a primary domain and a business name together. If your first choice for a business name doesn't work well with any available domains, consider a business name that you can easily market with an available domain. Once you've registered that domain name and your business name, register secondary domains and put them to use. Is it worth registering multiple domains for one site? That depends on your site, but any variations that you don't register will be available for competitors to register and use. If a domain is valuable to a competitor, it's valuable to you!
