What is a Domain?
A domain name is a website’s equivalent to a physical address. It is where your website lives. Before you can do anything with your website, you will need to have a URL (Domain Name) associated with it. Your domain name (URL) consists of…
- a name
- an extension.
Your domain should always help users (your customers) easily find your website’s content. Your domain eliminates the need for visitors to memorize things like internet protocol (IP) addresses. Choosing a domain for your website is critical since it assist those that want to do business with you to find you.
Shorter is Better
Shorter URLs that are comprised of two words or fewer have some very specific advantages. They are…
- easier to read, since they’re so concise
- they’re also easier to remember.
Short URLs also have a better chance at being “catchy,” and are more likely to “stick” in someone’s head. Short domains, unfortunately, may be difficult to purchase. You cannot buy a domain that soneone else already has.
Make it a .com
When you choose your domain name extension, you can be sure of one thing: “.com” is still the best. It stands for “commercial” and is the most familiar, easiest to remember, and is automatically associated with a business website address. In fact, over half of of all domains have the “.com” extension while others such as .net and .org only account for 3 to 4 % of all domains. Always opt for a .com domain extension.
