- Suitable for your website content: Make sure that your domain name is relevant to the content you are going to put on the site. Besides, you can also include keywords on the domain name if it sounds good.
- Choose an appropriate domain extension: Domain extension is the suffix such as .com, .net, .org, .edu, etc. which is added at the end of web addresses. They have specific meaning such as .com for commercial, .org for Organizations, and .net for a network.
