Be Smart About Your Domain Name
Ready to Launch your Website?




      Here’s what you need to know....!
FIRST: The Domain Name is Born




In 1983 the Domain Name System (DNS) was invented so people
 did not have to remember a long string of awkward numbers.!
SECOND: Domain Extension Options Multiplied




Since 1998, Domain Extensions or Top Level Domains (TLDs) help to
                       structure the internet. !
     There’s a lot of TLD choices - close to 300 and growing.!
Third: Anatomy of a Website



    www.symbolics.com!

                  !


                                   !
   !
   Sub Domain!    Domain Name!        Domain Extension!
                                 aka Top Level Domain (TLD)!




On March 15, 1985, Symbolics.com became the first
         registered .com domain name.!


                                                     source: Wikipedia!
Overwhelmed? Follow these Rules of Thumb




Start by identifying the domain name that will set your business
 up for success. Worry about the domain extension (TLD) later. !
                         Trust us on this.!
Brandable vs. Discoverable
                  (That is the question.)




                  Well, actually, the real questions are:!

   Will your budget allow you the      Will you rely on keyword-rich words
luxury of creating awareness about     & phrases to get you website found

First Impressions Count




 Choosing your domain name is one of the most important
decisions you will make for your on-line business presence.!
Keep it... SHORT & SWEET




A domain name can contain up to 67 characters !
           (letters, numbers & hyphens). !
      Although we don’t recommend it.!


                                             source: RoyalPingdom.com!
Keep it... EASY TO REMEMBER




Choosing a domain name that is easy to remember can help
              increase traffic to your site. !
Keep it... EASY TO SPELL &
                   PRONOUNCE




 Get creative, but remember, your domain name should be easy to say and
understand in conversation. Your domain name should also be easy to spell
                         and difficult to misspell.!
Keep it... RELEVANT




Including keywords that describe your service or product will
    increase your organic ranking on search tools such as !
                      Google or Yahoo.!
Keep it... LEGAL




       !"#$%&'($)*+$,-./*0$0/.#$,*'12(#3$$!"#$,*'12(#$4/'$'#56#,$*0$7888$4"#0$
                 9/,-00/$:("#$'*0+#&;$+/*0#,$<-0(&-6$-=$9/,-00/3<-.$




If you register a domain name that is the same or similar to another
company’s trademark, the company that owns that trademark may be
    able to force you to transfer or stop using the domain name.!


                                                                         source: RoyalPingdom.com!
Most of the .COMs are gone.




 On average, 20,000 domain names are registered daily and
there are currently over 60 million registered domain names.!


                                                    source: RoyalPingdom.com!
