How to Create a Good Domain Name

Here are some ideas were you can get your own domain names:

1) The Future

It stands to reason that new technologies require new domain names. The further away the technology is from commercial application, the better chance you have of finding unregistered names for it. You’ll be facing a lot of competition though, especially from industry insiders.

2) Dictionaries

The usable English language words have now been registered. There are many salable foreign language words still up for grabs, not to mention longer English language words. The Spanish language in particular is attractive and it is the second most widely used language on the Web, but has many fewer domain names registered. Specialized dictionaries are another good source of names. They don’t just contain single words, but subject- related terms as well. Try scanning a dictionary of business terms, marketing terms, real estate terms, even tax or banking terms.

3) Generic Terms

A generic term is simply a term that represents a particular subject or industry, without referring to individual brands. Web users are getting increasingly domain name. Instead of locate a Web site for their topic with search engines, they are guessing at Web site names by typing a generic name straight into their browser. The generic domain names makes very valuable, because once a Web site owner has the name pointing to their site, there’s no other expenses involved in attracting.

4) Buzzwords / Hot Topics

Sometimes subjects that have been dormant for ages get picked up by the media and become white-hot topics of debate.

5) Prefix - popular words with single-letter abbreviations

This is a simple way of generating new names. Just find popular words, phrases, and prefix them with any of the following abbreviations:

‘i’ - Internet, Interactive, Instant, I
‘e’ - Electronic
‘u’ - You
‘v’ - Virtual

The most valuable names are normally ‘e’-prefixed, but it just depends on the word you are trying to prefix.
