Things to Consider When Choosing Your Websites
Domain Name

• Choosing the right domain name for your website
  can become a difficult decision, as it is one of
  the most important decisions you will make when
  you are designing your website. 

• The right domain name could to increase traffic
  to your website and generate interest, while the
  wrong one could leave your website with a lack of
  visitors.

• To start with, consider picking a keyword
  relating to the purpose you intended for your
  website. This isnt necessary, but it can help
  attract potential visitors to your site. For
  example, if you have a website about fashion,
  having the keyword fashion or style in your
  domain name will attract visitors to your website
  without the need of a strong, established brand
  (Wikipedia, for example).
• Absence of a keyword will require you to put
  double the effort into selling the domain name
  and attracting visitors. The moment a potential
  visitor sees the name of your website, it helps
  that they can probably guess what they will find
  on your website. Potential visitors will be more
  likely to click your website on a search engine.

• Furthermore, make the domain name easy to type.
  Nothing can be gained from creating a domain name
  that is complicated to spell or unnecessarily
  long. It creates frustrations and will discourage
  potential visitors from visiting your website.
  Look up the rules if you are buying a country
  specific domain, although most domains ask for
  domain use only.

• Absence of a keyword will require you to put
  double the effort into selling the domain name
  and attracting visitors. The moment a potential
  visitor sees the name of your website, it helps
  that they can probably guess what they will find
  on your website. Potential visitors will be more
  likely to click your website on a search engine.

Once you have chosen a domain name, be absolutely
sure that you are happy with it. Once you are,
its time to register it. A popular choice is to
select a hosting company that registers the name
for you, once youve made a hosting account.
