A domain name is an identification string that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority or control within the Internet. Domain names are formed by the rules and procedures of the Domain Name System
(DNS). Any name registered in the DNS is a domain name. Domain names
are used in various networking contexts and application-specific naming
and addressing purposes. In general, a domain name represents an Internet Protocol (IP) resource, such as a personal computer used to access the Internet, a server computer hosting a web site, or the web site itself or any other service communicated via the Internet
No
one can deny that in Online world, Choosing Domain Name is the most
important thing when it comes down to creating a Blog/Website. A domain
name represents your whole Business and should make the topic clear to
anyone’s mind in first look. I have seen people doing hilarious mistakes
in choosing domain names so here I am with some 5 amazing tips for
choosing domain name and 5 things to avoid while selecting a domain so
as not to make it worst.
Here Are 5 Thing to Avoid when Choosing Domain Name
1. Prolonged Name
It’s
really annoying to see prolonged names like
“thewallsofjerichoy2j.blogspot.com" because they are very hard to
remember and even to read because there are no spaces between them.
2. Difficult Words
Choosing
difficult words that are either long, old or are not used and
understood by most of today’s people will also waste your chances of
becoming popular. You need to keep one thing in mind that your domain
must be something that people can easily remember and digest.
3. Spelling Mistakes
Spelling
mistake is another big factor that kills the beauty of a Domain Name .
while choosing your Blog’s Domain Name, make sure to check the spellings
of word being used.
For
example a person having a Blog about “Android" can buy a domain name
“Andriod.com" . This will not only affect the returning visitors who
will try to type the real spelling but will have an affect at Search
Engine Rankings.
Because whenever a misspelled word is typed at Google, it corrects it immediately and everyone knows that.4. Limiting Yourself
There
is no doubt that choosing as focused niche as possible is the best
thing a Blogger can do but if you take it too deep to your heart you can
be in hot water.
Imagine
you create a site about Mobile and name it “Nokiamob.com" and latter
you think that it’s better idea to also write about other companies.
Surely it is but you can’t go because you are already trapped by your
domain name.

5. Your Name
Many
people start their Blogs on their own name. Like I could have
“Saqibrazzaq.com" but I didn’t. Because the chances of your success
almost die if you do that. Only a few people like John Chow can become
successful with such domains.
5 Amazing Tips for Choosing Domain Name
1.Keep It Short
Very
simple but extremely affective. As short as your name is, the more
chances are that people would remember it for sometime or at least if
they see or hear it, they think “have not I heard about this blog".
2.Make it easy to Memorize
There
countless benefits if someone mind saves you web address . Because
every time he is in mood to read something, he would be on the road to
your blog immediately.
So keep Domain Name such that people can easily remember it. One of the ways to do this is by adding some humor into it.
3.Don’t Burn Your Ships
You
heard it right. It doesn’t matter how focused you are on something,
don’t burn your ships by choosing an extremely close Domain Name. Such
name won’t let you expand your Blog any day and Blogging Block, Boredom
and lack of inspiration will become your friends because you have said
most of things and remaining one are not coming to your mind easily.
4.Inserting Keywords
Before
purchasing domain name, you should do a little brain mapping about how
your site is going to look, what will be title, description and most
importantly your Keywords.
Because
if you decide that properly before you get involved in process of
thinking and buying of domain name, you must remember that you have to
put at least one or two of most important keywords into it.
5.Go with .com
This
one is also a must do thing. Ignoring the importance of .com domains
can push you to a dark hole because 97% of INTERNET users would put .com
at the end of your site address if they forget what was actually the
last part. List of Benefits of .com domains goes long and long and is
better and popular than any other extensions.
