However, punctuation poses a different problem. The only punctuation mark allowed is the dash. However, when a dash is used, it creates a whole new domain. This means that if you have a multiple word domain name, you should consider registering it with a dash and without a dash. There is a key advantage to using the dash.
Search engines recognize the dash as a separator of words.
While most Internet users avoid dashes, there still is the opportunity for abuse. Our recommendation is that you register domain addresses that contain two or more words with both a hyphen and without. Registration is simple and the cost is minimal. With deregulation of the Internet naming process, there are a number of companies that register domain names. Whether you register through us, or someone else, you really should protect the security of your Web site.
