Registering website domain names has become increasingly common with the advancement of technology, leading to a surge in personal website registrations. The choice of domain extension (suffix) is quite varied.
In fact, there are no strict restrictions on domain extensions for personal websites. When registration is possible, choosing a .com domain is generally the best option, as it's widely recognized and popular. If a .com domain is already registered, you can choose the .net extension, or newer extensions like .me, .pw, and .wang. These offer both individuality and highlight the personal nature of the website.
Alternatively, you can choose a domain name based on your website's theme. For example, a theme related to mobile internet could be .mobi, video-related content could be .tv, a professional website could be .pro, and information-related content could be .info, and so on. This way, users can easily identify the website's purpose from the domain extension, making it more memorable.
When registering a domain name, if you directly search for domains on a domain registration platform, you'll find that most of the short and good domain names you can think of have already been registered. So, how can you register a short domain name?
1. Buy a domain name that has already been registered.
Most people leave their registered domain names idle. If accessing a domain name results in a webpage full of advertisements, it's very likely that the domain name is for sale. Unless it's a particularly popular keyword, most domain names are priced in the hundreds of dollars, and you can find a decent one.
2. Buy expired domain names that are reopened for registration.
Domain registration requires periodic renewal. Due to website closure, failure to renew on time, abandonment of the domain, etc., domain names expire if not renewed. After expiration, the domain name is deleted, returning to an "unregistered" state, and anyone can re-register it. Hundreds of thousands of domain names expire and are deleted worldwide every day, so registering expired domain names is also a good way to obtain short domain names: "Snatching recently deleted domain names" has become an important registration method.
