I have a straight forward formula for selecting the perfect domain name.
If you’re forming a team and want to be forming a company, your domain name should match your company name. Take, for example, ‘CompanyName.com’. But if ‘.com’ isn’t available, opt for ‘CompanyName.net’ or ‘CompanyName.co’.
If you’re planning to go solo, have a personal blog, and use ‘YourName.com’.
My preferred domain extensions are .me, .co, .com, .net and .in. And I generally tend to avoid longer domain extensions like ‘.net.in’ or ‘.co.in’.
For domain names, I use Namecheap, but if you don’t have a hosting account yet, you can get the domain name for free with Siteground’s hosting.
Coming up with the right name can be a bit tough since there are millions of active domain names in the world right now. But don’t give up. Keep digging till you have found that perfect domain name.
I have chosen ‘BizTips.co’ as my blog’s domain name because I liked the short names. It’s my blog, so I also have a domain for my full name shabbirbhimani.com that redirects to BizTips.co.
