Which Domain Name You Want to choose?

Some of the key factors should be kept in mind before choosing the domain name. By keeping the factors in mind we can avoid confusion and get clear idea about choosing domain name.

Why you want your own domain name?

We have been successful in making money online using free blogs. If I am not successful then wouldn’t have started this blog. We are blogging since two years through free blogs. We need to establish our own identity, branding and maintain professionalism. Having own domain increases the branding of product, business, person etc. We need to start to our own domain because we got to reach more and more readers to show how we make money online which is not possible through free blogs.

Goals and Objectives:-

What is the goal of your blog? Are you going to achieve some thing through this blog?Are you starting the blog for professionals, young people or for anything else?Do you want to achieve financial freedom and show how it can be possible? Just be clear in front of your audience.

Did the Domain name match with your content?

If you choose the domain name as blogging experiment and you write about any other thing, it would be great turn off for the readers. The content should reflect the domain of the blog. Most of the domain names reflect the content in the blog. It would help the readers to recognize it very well.

Length Of Domain name:-

Readers will find the short domain very easy to remind. If the domain name is too long then it would be difficult to remember. It is very difficult to find shorter ones today. The risk of choosing bigger domain name is if we mistype then it would return any other blog. Internet is much bigger and so many blogs are live we are not alone. Choosing keyword domain name is good for SE .

Dot com domain or any other domain?

Most people like to choose the domain .com and they are powerful, universal. In the sense it is not true, on internet everything has some place to reside. .Com has been used regularly so most people use it because it is universal one. We are not going to discuss this issue in depth further. We can also use the .net, .org or .info as domain name.

Collect The Opinion Of others:-

If you are too much confused about the domain name you want to choose then first ask your friend about what domain name to choose? It would help us choose the right domain name easily because they can give you some sort of idea and suggestions. Opinion of others is important and it counts. We have to check how our domain name looks for other people as it can look good for us and bad to other people. Different regions, different cultures and different people have different opinion on the domain name. It helps us choose the better one than an unsuitable one.

Extension of Domains:-

If we don’t get the domain name you are looking for then it is better to choose another one but don’t choose any extension for the one you looked for like numbers, The power of the domain will be lost if we get any extension of domain.

Already Used Domain Names:-

Some people don’t use the domain names but they just register it so that it might be useful for them in future. They don’t use the domain but we can get them by interacting with them, with the help of an agent you buy your favorite domain by paying little more money. I tried this one before but later I found the one I want. Here we want www.bloggingstreet.com is not used by anyone but it re-directs to http://www.relationstreet.com/ . So nobody is using the domain name.

And some spammers use some domain names and sell them after using it. The domain names might be slapped by google. So it is better to check the history of domain before buying it.

Don’t get domain and hosting only at one place. If you bought domain at www.namecheap.com then bring hosting at www.bluehost.com or www.hostgator.com It is recommended to get our domain at www.namecheap.com or any other registrar because if we register at domain registrar then we will be the only owner of the domain. If we bring domain and hosting at same place then we are not the owner of the domain instead the hosting company. We can transfer the domain only after three months, this has happened with me. So it is better to get your domain at domain registrar directly.

Secure Multiple Domains:-

Suppose if we don’t get www.bloggingstreet.com then we can try www.bloggingstreet.net .Who knows the .net will also be not available in future. It is better to secure wanted multiple domains at once.
