Want to get a good domain name? Check out the website domain naming guide here

How to choose a good domain name is a headache for many webmasters. After all, a good domain name can attract customers to sellers to a certain extent, increase website traffic and popularity. Many large companies will even spend hundreds of thousands or millions to purchase related domain names. Let's talk about how to choose a website domain name.

In line with the brand or company name

Webmasters who have seen cases of large companies acquiring domain names can easily find that most of their domain name registrations are in line with their own brands or company names, such as Baidu's baidu.com, Taobao's taobao.com, and Sina Weibo's weibo.com.

These domain names can help to increase the mention rate of corporate brands to a large extent, and it is easier to penetrate into the hearts of users. Maybe start-ups are not so well-known now, but it is worth having a domain name that matches the brand. Of course, as a start-up, there is no need to bid with those big companies, even if it fits itself, it should be done within its means.

Mainstream suffix or officially recognized

The top-level domain name is the part after your domain name and before the subpage. The most common top-level domain names are: .com, .org, .net, .co, .us.

If the company's potential users are distributed all over the world, then ".com" can be used as the top-level domain name; if the target market is the UK, then the top-level domain name can be set to ".co.uk"; if the company is an Internet or IT company, then ".net" can be used; if it is a non-profit organization, ".org" can be used. You can choose the corresponding top-level domain name according to market positioning. However, new domain name suffixes may also be an opportunity for promotion. Companies may wish to use new suffixes for brand protection or non-core business, and use mainstream suffixes such as .com/.org as the main domain name.

Easy to remember and easy to input

Needless to say, the purpose of our domain name application is essentially to allow users to better remember the website and be more familiar with the website login method. But it is worth noting that short ones are of course easier to remember, but I am afraid that mainstream suffixes can no longer be selected. Easy to remember is not necessarily easy to input. For example, although bd.com is simple, it is not as easy to remember as baidu.com.

Check if the domain name has been used first on social networking sites

If you have thought of a domain name and are ready to register it, but suddenly find out on a social networking site that the domain name has been used first, it is really a sad thing, so you must check if the domain name has been used first on a social networking site. If not, register it immediately. Even if you don’t plan to use a social media account now, you must prevent it from being registered and used by others.
