How to Create a Domain Name
The Internet is an endless spring of entertainment, commerce and information. Unlike traditional mediums like print, TV and radio, the web promotes interaction by enabling everyone with a computer to access it. Each of us encourage that use by an endless line of designers, programmers and hosts who are to assist with our websites. But, you’ll never make it if you don’t have the perfect domain name for your site.
Here are few steps in creating a domain name:
Make sure that the domain name doesn’t confuse potential visitors. Strive for a site name that sounds exactly like its spelled so you don’t need a search engine to find it. With most basic words already registered, be prepared to get creative, mixing words together or coming up with an appropriate onomatopoeia.
Try to come up with an original name that will catch up the attention of the viewer. The names Google and Yahoo really don’t reveal much about two of the web’s most visited sites but they’re easy to recall and short on syllables, making it easy for first-timers to find.
Commit to securing a “dot com” name.
Head over to your favorite domain name registrar. Don’t get too discouraged when you discover that most fabulous names are already spoken for. It takes time out in order to test the widely-held view that ‘all the best names are gone. In the space of two months, nearly two hundred domain names are registered and one hundred and ninety of them being dot coms.
