The importance of choosing a good domain name for
your business is often overlooked. A good domain name is vital - in this article
we'll explain why, help you make a good choice and tell you how to get one!
What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is a unique name that identifies an Internet site, also known as a
'web address'.
Why Do I Need a Domain Name?
Every web site needs a domain name and there are many benefits to owning one.
Having your own domain name (eg www.yourname.com)
Registering your own domain name will protect and enhance your brand and product
or service and it will make your site easier to find and will be easier for
customers to remember.
You can use your domain name as a key marketing tool for your business by having
it on all of your traditional marketing material such as stationery, brochures,
advertisements, signage, pens, calendars, clothing... and more: you can include
it on your answer phone message; if you have a shop or sell products, on labels,
carry bags and packaging; on tasteful car magnets or stickers! What Makes a Good Domain Name?
Ideally your domain name should include your business name or brand and if
possible a keyword representing your product or service. A combination of all of
these elements is not always possible as most importantly your domain name
should be short, simple, easy to remember and easy to spell.
Steer clear of using hyphens in your domain name as they often create confusion
and are a mouthful to say (try it - say this aloud: 'www.my-domain-name.com) -
without the hyphens 'www.mydomainname.com' is much better!). If your business
name has a hyphen in it, you might want to register both domain names, with and
without the hyphen. The domain name without the hyphen can just redirect to the
other.
Also, if possible, stay away from homonyms and alternative spellings. Homonyms
are two or more words that sound exactly the same, but are spelled differently (eg
site and sight). If your business name uses alternative spelling you may need to
register more than one name to avoid people not being able to find you, for
example if the business is a cattery in Nelson and the name is 'Top Catz', you
may need to register topcatz.com and topcats.com. Or opt for a name that uses a
keyword describing the service such as cattery.com or nelsoncattery.com.
Therefore, to cover all bases, in some cases it can be worthwhile registering
more than one domain name - to represent your brand, to represent your product
or service and/or to cover variations of your name. The
cost
is minimal so it is an option worth considering. Choose the most suitable one
for promoting on your stationery etc.
