8. Keep it short and relevant:

    We have seen the importance of making your domain name easy to pronounce. Also, we have seen why you should include keywords in your domain name and how you can use a generator to generate a good domain name. But in choosing one based on this criteria, you must understand how to keep it short and relevant.

    As much as possible, ensure your phrase does not contain more than three words. When you keep a long-phrase, users will tend to make errors or even forget part of it when typing. Like I said initially it leads to you losing traffic.

    9. Avoid Hyphens:

    As much as possible, don’t use hyphens. They highly prone to typing errors, a lot of time we are confused between using a hyphen or a dash. So imagine what happens with your users who have nothing doing with the tech world.

      They will land on your competitor’s site because they forgot the hyphen or end up with error pages because they used to dash in place of a hyphen.

      10. smart about it:

        don’t think you are the only one looking out for that domain name. There are a lot of other smarter guys out there looking out to register that same domain name. Every day thousands of domain names get registered. Don’t delay registering your domain name once you find one of your choices.

        Registering domain names have been made affordable. Here on Wealthy Affiliate, it cost less than 14USD. There are lots of registrars on the internet, but you must be smart about selecting a good registrar.

        The Wealthy Affiliate platform will provide you with domain name registration, hosting and comprehensive training on internet marketing via its online entrepreneur certification. Top of it, you can access free domain name registration as a member of The wealth affiliate platform.

        I will surely adhere to your suggestions when I start my second website. This is very helpful. The first attempt is not always perfect. I will surely straighten the wrinkles next time. Thanks for the insight.

        Yes

        You are very correct, if you look at my conversation with kingsschido below. I shared how I was asking Kyle if I could use a poultry site for MMO.

        Many of us make mistakes in our first attempt but as we continue we all get better.

        Thank you kings,

        Issues like choosing a name for your website are foundational issues newbies struggle with. I can remember asking Kyle if I could use a blog I created for poultry farming for MMO.

        Thinking of it now, I just laugh.

        My heart was on newbies at the point of creating this training, I believe it will stand as a reminder for experience hands considering starting a new website
