Which Domain Is the Best?

Introduction

A domain literally means a sphere of activity or territory over which rule of control can be exercised. But in internet terminology, it is descriptors for sites.

Domain names are like real estate property of the internet. It is your location on the internet web. A domain is the backbone of a website that determine the success and traffic of a website. There are millions of web pages with domain name now but there were none 21 years before. The first web page address, on 6 August, 1991, almost 21 years ago was http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html. The process of making a domain useful and effective has become complicated.

History

Here some essential characteristics of a good domain are discussed below:
Short Name: A good domain should have a short precise name. Although there are some minimum numbers that everybody aims at, still shorter the better, make it as brief as possible. This is the reason why all the 3 letters and 4 letter dot com names are all gone, even 5 or 6 letter domain names are disappearing very fast, but you should restrict the4 domain name below 10 letters. The domain names with one word are gold, two words domain names are also good but above two words are average.

The name of a good domain is always easy to remember. It is remembered easily without using any bookmark. A complicated name which is never easy to remember is bound to lose visitors. Even a short domain name if cannot be remembered easily is equally bad.

A good domain name is always simple and easy to spell. If you have a domain name which is difficult to spell a major portion of your prospective visitors will land onto other pages by error in remembering or by typing. Try to avoid unfamiliar words in foreign languages, words which are difficult to pronounce, letters with strange combinations—these are the mst common causes of misspells.

Features

A good domain name is concluded with dot com extensions. There are other ways also but this is the most popular and perhaps the best way to go.

A good domain is always descriptive. Visitors land on a domain through search engine. They come so only if they find the name of the domain is appealing and contain the information they are looking for. A descriptive name gives the visitors a good idea what is your site is about before they select your site and enter. The presence of related keywords in your domain name is a definite way to improve search engine ranking.

The name of a good domain is mostly brand- able with effective interesting combination of letters; nice pronunciation so that it can associates your visitors easily to your domain.

A good domain name excludes numbers and hyphens. They are cheaper and face some like problems of the domains that exclude dot com extensions. Numbers are more confusing that spelling and letters.
