If the name you want is already registered, don t hesitate to attempt to purchase it in the aftermarket. Keep in mind that your global identity depends on the domain name that you attach to it. Consider the value of the name to your business and bid on it accordingly. Stay away from real long names, abbreviations, misspellings and hyphens, as the marketability of these types of names is not real good. The most recognizable prefixes are e and i .
Many people use full words as prefixes or suffixes.
For example, the word Shop is a good prefix or suffix. If you use a letter as a prefix, try a letter that makes sense, like b , r or u as opposed to letters like w or q . If you register names and create a new prefix, then buy a lot those names and market them as a group. Individually they have little or no value because they are virtually unknown in the marketplace. However, marketing them as a large group creates a valued domain name community that is easier to brand.
