Picking the Right Domain Name for New Websites

How important is it to choose the most appropriate domain name for your website? After all, the common notion is that what is there in a name? Since the domain name contains the web address of the name on the Uniform Resource Locater, it becomes important to get it right. To begin from the basics, the domain name is a reflection of your business. If you are an IT Solutions provider, a name such as “perfect health solutions” might be disaster. People would perceive it as a health service provider or a beauty services vendor. The enterprise will never be able to secure a client and will become a reason for a lot of chaos.

There are certain reasons that can be taken into consideration while choosing a domain name. The domain name should most preferably be a very thorough description of your business or even the website. The viewers that read the name are able to gauge the undertone and have a clear idea about the business even before they visit the site. To put it in the words of SEO experts, the domain name should have the main ‘keyword’ with which the website can be associated. Suppose your website promotes your resume writing skills. If the domain name categorically has been mentioned as ‘resume writer’, then the chances of a high traffic influx towards the website are very high. People will be able to relate with the name and will feel like being at the site.

The domain name is the perfect and most enterprising way in which the website and the business can be made into a brand. A smart and slick name that reflects business and leaves an impression on the conscience of readers has the ability to make a brand out of an enterprise. Branding is equally important as marketing for a brand sells incredibly because of the obsession that people have with it and the way they relate with it.

The name echoes the service in offing. With this mantra in mind, think of all the names that your creative instincts help you in thinking and let the imagination go berserk! Come out with such names that you would have never even heard of, just that they should not sound as if the words are a part of the dialect that the Na’vi people talk in! The perfect descriptive should be there in two words and not more than that. A new website is a new idea. That idea loses steam the moment you cover it with wrong words. Recalling the ine written earlier that many think there is not much in a name, we tend to take this aspect of the process casually which results in a casualty: Loss of Business and Traffic. That would be poison for the website and has to be averted at all costs. There is a lot of fodder available over the web on which you can feed on before you think of the name you wish to give. Make all possible consultations, but get the name crisp and right. You will reap the rewards afterwards and will be very proud of your decision.

  1. HI
    Great blog i like it
    The difference between the intricate and complex web solutions, and indeed why companies go for easy web hosting solutions, is to have a product which is easy to use and manipulate.
