Please excuse me; I may have gotten it wrong the first time.

They're available on a first-come, first-purchase basis. That means if they are in your basket, they are not secured to you unless you head to checkout, claim them if you haven't already, or purchase them.

The comment below still adds value.

Nowadays, domains are not so affected by SEO vs. writing quality-rich content with a good choice of keywords, the latter of which would rank you in the search engines.

I would always go for a dot com domain name vs. dot net or dot org, as people's perceptions are that when they start typing, they typically assume it is a dot com. And make sure it is spelled correctly, as the URL cannot be edited once purchased.

I would omit dashes and check if the domain is copyrighted, trademarked, or registered to an established business.

You can ask ChatGPT for assistance and what they think of the different domains they've picked; they may give you a table showing how each would scale in terms of memorability, brand flexibility, SEO potential, and professional appeal.

I do that sometimes, as I am in the business of acquiring domains.

I go for two words and make sure it is memorable. I have the "Buy to Sell" mindset.

However, each person's circumstances are different. I always advice folks to do what best resonates with them and their target audiences.

Not at all; as a premium plus, you can claim two free .com domains.

In the third tab, you find those at checkout 'credits'. Each is 34 credits.

Otherwise, Leah (first comment) has you covered here to apply the MOVE feature within your site manager.

Your siterubix draft website does not get indexed in the search engines, so it doesn't have this feature. So the recommendation is once you have settled on your niche and brand, you can go ahead and claim your domains. Later moving them over.

Ensure they are spelled correctly, as the URLs cannot be edited once purchased.

Please keep us updated on your progress, Carson!

Wish you well always.

Hi Cdane welcome to WA, No SiteRubix is like your dummy site sort off thas gonna be your training ground. You can do what ever you want or like to to your website. You can practice building and creating your website editing, customizing etc. and to see how things works. Now once you think your are ready and you feel like website looks good then you can move it or migrate it to your actual domain.com. Good Luck!!

Hi CDane,

That site is your practice site until you have either purchased your new domain name or you have transferred in your existing domain name. Once either one of those things happen you won't have the siterubix site anymore. The good thing is that any content you create on the practice site will be moved over automatically. Getting Your Branded Domain (and Moving Your Website Over)

Also, I'm sure I must have made a mistake$$.!! So far I've paid close to 100.00 dollars on what I thought were Test domain names. Obviously they were no test. Can't continue until I understand , because I want to get my thinking on the right page. I thought I? eventuall I woul get 3 free PremiumPlus domainsb. Also, why the siterubix at the end of the domain?

You have the premium plus icon on your profile, Carson.

Hi Carson

Canva is not neccessary nor a must-have, however it is another tool to use that can help you along the way.

Just like SEO or many other plugins are not necessary but can be helpful in various ways.

All are tools of the trade that can benefit one to go further forward

wishing you well

Andre

This is a great platform. Not sure what you are referring to when you mention the privacy, but is a great tool for creating just about any type of media. Their free version is actually quite good as well. :)

You cannot edit a premium domain name's URL once it is purchased. If you made a spelling mistake, you would need to purchase a new domain name.
