Given that more and more businesses are registering domain names every day, getting the website address you want is becoming increasingly difficult. One or two word domain names are usually already registered, forcing new registrants to choose URLs containing three or four words. To some people, these URLs can look like a big mess of words. Using hyphens in between the words can make them visually more appealing. For example, “www.used-cars-for-you.com, looks better than “www.usedcarsforyou.com. The jury is still out on hyphenated domain names. The advantages are that they look better and search engines can easily distinguish the separate keywords for better search placements, but the disadvantages are that they are difficult to verbally communicate and type. The best solution would be to register both the hyphenated, and the un-hyphenated version of the domain name to ensure that there is no confusion Business - All business/finance/loan/mortgage related link can be found here Computers - All computer hardware/software/peripheral related link can be found here Internet - All webhosting/webdesign/internet marketing related link can be found here Software - All software related link can be found here Web Design - All web design/development related link can be found here Web Hosting - All web hosting related link can be found here Web Promotion - All search engine optimization/internet marketing related link can be found here Web Resources - All other web related link can be found here Recreation - All travel/hotel/cruise related link can be found here Casino - All online gambling/poker/blackjack/roulette related link can be found here Health - All online pharmacy/hospital/health related link can be found here Shopping - All online shopping/gift related link can be found here Miscellaneous - All other links can be found here
Even though you are allowed to use 67 characters for a domain name, the general rule of thumb is: shorter is better. Although, in some instances, the website address may be more memorable if it is more descriptive. For example a domain consisting of initials only, such as “www.waa.com”, may not create a lasting impression compared to the domain name “www.windsorautoassociation.com”. Therefore, it is best to choose a name that, while short, contains enough description for your customers to easily remember. |
