How to Choose a Domain Name 

Naming a website involves selecting a powerful name, and searching domain name availability. Not all domain names are available and this is what makes website naming tricky. Take time with your search to ensure that you choose a great name.

Some factors to consider when choosing your domain name:

If you are just starting your company, you may want to search the availability of the URL names (domain names) before selecting your company name. If you decide on a great company name, the URL may or may not be available. Searching URL availability is a good place to start when you are looking for a company name.

If you already have a company name and the URL is unavailable, you are stuck with having to buy it for a higher price from a reseller. Or, you can select a name that conveys what your company does, has recognition in the market place, and is easy to remember. Acronym URL names are hard for people to remember, but may be okay in some instances. 

Keep in mind that if customers know your name, you are easy to find. It's when customers don't know your name that you are hard to find.

If your company name is not a household word as most aren't, you have to get people to discover who you are. This is where search engine optimization and marketing comes into play. If you can get people to your website, they will start to recognize your name. They may even bookmark your site, send it to their friends or add it to their favorites.
