How to choose a name when registering a domain name? These practical tips will help you

Many people will work hard on the content, procedures, architecture and design of website construction, but few people will pay attention to domain names. In fact, there is a science to how to choose a domain name, which is related to the difficulty and effect of the website's later promotion.

1. Determination of domain name

A good domain name needs to be easy for users to remember, so it needs to match the website keywords or product names as much as possible, and it also needs to be as short as possible. If the keyword or product name is too long, use the first letter of the keyword or product pinyin or English word.

2. Choice of domain name suffix

There are many website suffixes, the common ones are com, cn, net, com.cn, org, top, cc, edu, etc. Many people don't actually know what these represent, let alone how to choose. Org is generally a profit organization, and individuals and non-profit organizations can register, while edu can only be registered on educational websites. Com, cn, net, and com.cn are the most commonly used domain name suffixes for corporate websites. However, the weights, inclusions, and snapshot updates given by search engines to these suffixes are different. Generally, com is greater than cn, greater than com.c, and greater than net.

3. Domain name history

The time and history of domain name use will affect the trust of search engines in domain names, which will also affect the difficulty and effect of website promotion in the later stage. Generally speaking, the longer the domain name is registered, the higher the trust given by search engines. If a domain name has a history of being punished by search engines, it will be disadvantageous to the current website optimization if it is activated again. Therefore, we should choose a domain name that has been used for a long time and has not been punished by search engines.
