1. Making sure it's readable

When you're trying to choose a domain name for your brand-new blog, you need to run some checks to make sure you're choosing the right domain name for your multi-million dollar brand. You may want to ask your comrades to help you take a deep look at it, check it up, pronounce it, and make a decision as to whether you should choose that name or not.

If you try choosing a name which ends with the letter "s" and is followed by another word starting with the letter "s", you may lose the kind of readability your domain name is supposed to possess, and that may constitute a breakdown along the line.

Unless you're running the blog with a super blogging experience, having an audience of the same category, you won't be able to get your deserved domain popularity with a name that cannot roll off the tongue with ease.

2. Making sure it's remarkable

If you really want to create a domain name that will work productively for your business, then you may need to consider making it simple and easy to comprehend even for newbies out there. You may want to make it captivating and easy to remember even for an eight year old child. And you may want to make it attractive in search results for a lot of people to select.

When choosing a domain name, you may need to consider choosing not more than two to three words together. And you may want to ensure these words sound similar to the title of your blog, though may not go verbatim.

3. Choosing the preferred domain extension

As there are several selections of domain names like .org, .com, .net, that come with different extensions like .co.uk, .com.ng, and so on, it always depends on the nature of your business and particular location where your business is operated. So, you may want to consider choosing what really works for all the factors that you may invariably consider in trying to choose a domain name.

Very good points.
I also look for the previous history of the domain and I use the Wayback Machine for that. https://archive.org/
If the domain has recently been used, I avoid it.
I also try to find a domain that is available as a username on social media.

Thanks for the reading, JHaugland! Your domain name might be unique, but your business name might have been taken and registered for someone else before you chose and this could lead to unwanted legal actions except you use the trademark and copyright electronic search tool to verify that your chosen business name is unique.

When you say, keyword-optimized: do you mean the low hanging key-word that is targeted for the blog?

Yes, though it isn't a taboo if you didn't use it as part of your domain URL, it's great for SEO in case you might not be aware, increasing the possibility of your URL's appearance in search results. And note that your domain name might not necessarily be the same as your blog name. Thanks for getting back, anusuya!

Wish you breakthroughs online!
