If you are registering your domain for your business, the most logical domain name would be the name of your business (e.g. Nike.com). Otherwise, here are some tips on how to choose a good domain name:
1. Keep it short. No one wants to type, “thebestwebsiteintheuniverse.com”. But hey, it’s up to you! (Really, no one is going to stop you).
2. Don’t use numbers or hyphens. Unless they are part of your company or brand name (e.g. News24.com), it is always best to avoid splitting up your domain name with hyphens or adding random numbers to the end.
3. Choose an appropriate domain extension. You can’t beat a good .co.za, but if you plan on running an online store, you can also consider using .store, .shop, or similar. If you only operate in certain cities, you might consider a hyperlocal extension such as .joburg or .capetown.
