The domain name you choose for your website is an important decision. This plays a role in how visitors perceive your website. It also influences how search engines rank your site. In the space I have in this article I will touch on a few domain name suggestions. Make sure you check out the last paragraph to learn where you can find important information about naming your website.



A lot of the time when choosing a name for your
website you will find that the site name you want is already taken. While this is disappointing it can easily be addressed by working with some of the following variations.
  1. Add 'site' to the end. For example, if you want 'dogtraining' and it is already taken then try 'dogtrainingsite'. This is a very common technique.
  2. Add the word 'online'. This can be put wherever it makes sense. For example you could use variations such as onlineworkouts, trainonline, or exerciseonlinenow.
  3. Another common domain name suggestion is to add 's' for plural. Sometimes simply using the plural form of a word is enough. If 'easydiet' is taken you can always try 'easydiets'.
  4. The word 'hub' is a popular suffix. Using this implies your site is the center of related activity such as 'electronicreviewshub', or 'socialnetworkinghub'.
  5. If your site provides timely or current information a good domain name suggestion is to use the word 'news'. For example, 'hollywoodnews' or 'electronicsnews'.
  6. If you provide mainly product information you can use the word 'reviews' such as 'foreigncarreviews' or 'reviewsforsurfers'. This is a common technique used with affiliate marketing.
  7. Another domain name suggestions is to use your own name or a variation of it. For example, 'jimsreviews', or 'jensthoughts'. This can give your website a more personal touch.
  8. If you are using a multi word name you can separate the words with hyphens. For example if learnbasketweavingnow is taken you can always go with learn-basket-weaving-now.
  9. Consider using similar words or synonyms to replace some of the words you want. If 'makemoney' is taken you can try 'earnmoney' or 'createincome'.
  10. If you still can't find your ideal name consider different extensions such as.com,.org,.net,.info, or.biz. If you are targeting a local market then you can consider using your country specific extension.
With these domain name suggestions you should be able to find what you are looking for - just keep trying variations until you get one that you like.

  2. Well ! Its really one of the informative article. Before selecting a domain name , you have to remember the following aspects :

    1. It should be short and easily memorable by the website visitors.
    2. Avoid hyphens in your domain name.
    3. Avoid punctuation marks.
    4. It should be in between 3-8 characters long.
    5. It should be related with your website content.
    6. Extensions are more essential for each and every domain name. So, choose a good domain name with nice extensions such as .com,.net,.org etc.

    After selecting a good domain name, you can check whether the domain name ( what you have chosen ) is already registered by someone or not by using
    Whoisxy.com . Before buying a domain name from domain provider, you have to check the following factors:

    1. Company existence
