Selecting the right domain name for your website is one of more important steps to success. A good domain name will allow your visitors to recognise your business and very quickly understand the purpose of your site.

The following are good points to consider:-

1) Memorable - unless you have a large budget for advertising its better to stick with a name that visitors will remember and associate with your product or service.

2) Relates to your business. This prepares your customer for your site.

3) Easy to say over the telephone.

4) A name early in the alphabet, this helps for directory listing.

5) Short names are easier to enter and less likely to get mistyped.
