Domain Name Can Make or Break Your Business By: Sansad C. Jha     Your identity on internet is by and large defined by your domain name. What exactly is a domain name? Computer uses a numeric code for every URL. As numeric codes are difficult to remember and differentiate, a textual name is given for every numeric URL; this is what is known as domain name. As I said above, your domain name is just like your identity on the World Wide Web, a few things should be taken into consideration before choosing a domain name. Do you remember how much time you spent selecting an appropriate name for your business? Selecting a domain name also requires the same amount of time and brainstorming. 1. Although you can go for any name that matches your business or services, it is always more profitable to have an easy to remember domain name. People in general do not remember long domain names. It should be short and simple but clear enough to give an idea of what your service/business is all about. Try to avoid words with repetitive letters in the end and beginning like tom music class.com. It leads to confusion which means loss of business. 2. Domain suffixes like .com, .net, .biz etc are very important. A slight mistake in selecting a proper suffix may drive huge traffic away from your site. If your services are country specific go for domain suffixes like .co.uk, .co. in etc. If you plan to expand you business to world wide level always go for .com as it is easier for an online user to remember .com domain names. 3. Spend some time on searching for websites offering similar services. Key words in your domain name can go a long way in making your website successful. If you offer auto services, search for those sites that offer these services and pick up the key words. Key word rich domain names are always more likely to attract huge traffic. 4. Try to come up with some weird but easy domain name. For example Yahoo, google etc are very simple domain names without any clue about their services, but are highly successful. These names are short, easy to remember and of course very catchy domain names, therefore highly successful. 5. Last but not least, if you are famous in a particular field, you own name is the best domain name you can go for. Sansad C. Jha tries to give you some tips to choose your domain name.
