How to choose a domain name step by step full process
Make it easy to type: Your domain name should be easy to type.
Go to the website and type your niche domain
If you have any problems choosing the domain then you can prefer an AI system to generate a domain for your website.
For example, yogatraining.com is a good domain name, however, yoga4u.com is not, because people will confuse ‘4’ with ‘for’ and ‘u’ with ‘you’. You shouldn’t need to tell people that it is numerical four or it is y-o-u you.
Keep it short: The shorter the better. If your domain name is long and complex, you risk visitors to mistype or misspell it. A shorter domain name is attractive.
Avoid numbers and hyphens: As I said, you don’t need to tell anyone it is “f-o-u-r ” or it is a numerical four. And, hyphens can be forgotten by people. So, avoid both numbers.
Make it brandable/catchy/memorable: Well, that’s a no-brainer. Your domain name should be easy to memorize. If it is catchy, that’s even better. Share it with some of your close friends and see what they feel about it. Make sure it is appealing and makes sense to others.
Make sure it doesn’t violate any trademark and it shouldn’t be too similar to any popular website.
