​Domain name is a key element of your website. Choosing the right domain name is crucial to your success. It must be a one-time decision. Changing your domain name from time to time can be a hassle and will hurt your brand and search rankings. That’s why it’s extremely important that you choose the best domain name from the start.

So here are some tips you can do in choosing the right domain name.

Even though the domain name that you want might be available in “.org”, “.net” or another domain extension. It is essential to pick a “.com” extension since most people go to “.coms” and it is still the most established and credible domain extension. Newer domain extensions like “.ninja” or “.photography” can be untrustworthy and most smart phone keyboards today automatically have a “.com” button.

Instead of having a super long domain, you want to have something that is easy to remember. You might even want to have a domain that is witty and fun so people can remember that it made them laugh or because it was short and easy. Think about Google.com or Forbes.com. Sweet and Simple. 

You should be able to easily share your domain when speaking as well as writing. You never know when you’ll be asked to share your domain name in person.
It should be easy to understand for any listener.

Don’t pick a domain name that’s close to another company. Not only is this going to confuse your potential clients. But it could also be trademark infringement which means it could be a big problem for you and you might start all over again. 

Properly moving your WordPress site to a new domain can be a frustrating process, and it can cause you to lose search rankings and traffic if you don’t do it right.

That’s why it’s so important to keep these tips in mind, so you can choose the best domain name for your website.
