Do you know how to choose a domain name? Are there any tips?

If you want to choose a good domain name, the method is very important. So how should a novice choose a domain name? Let's take a look.

1. Look at the meaning

To build a website, the domain name must have a certain meaning, either representing the main content of the website, or the brand name, or the creator's own name or words that have special meaning to the creator. Typically, the domain name itself is the pinyin of a certain word, or a complete English word, or a combination of the first letters of the pinyin. This is easy to remember and can also let people know what the website based on this domain name is going to do.

2. Look at the length

In terms of the price of the domain name, of course, the shorter the more expensive. But very short domain names have basically been registered, and ordinary people can't grab them, unless a new suffix appears, and they may still get a leak, but this chance is already very small. Now there are very powerful domain name detection and registration tools, and people can't grab them as well as machines. The author believes that on the premise that it can be registered, the domain name should be as short as possible, which is good for future use and promotion. If it is a combination of the first letters of the pinyin mentioned below, it should not exceed 5 letters at most. If it is more, it will not be easy to remember.

3. Look at the combination

In addition to pure English, full spelling of words and pure numbers, there is another common form of domain name, that is, combination, such as the combination of the first letters of words, letters and numbers. When registering or using this domain name, you should still take the meaning first, or artificially give it a meaning that is not too awkward. Although some double pinyin domain names are also priced high, they do not have a meaning that people can easily remember, and websites built based on this domain name are also difficult to promote. And it may also be considered as a copycat URL that is riding on the popularity.

4. Look at the suffix

There are more and more domain names with different suffixes. Some contain specific meanings, some are used in specific industries, and some are limited to registration agencies. Generally speaking, non-governmental and educational institutions have no right to register .gov/.edu, but the weight of the .gov/.edu domain name is the highest. .Com/.Org/.gov international domain names are better than domestic domain names net.cn, com.cn, and org.cn, mainly because of the credit cost issue.
