Choosing An Xclusive Domain Name for Your Website!

 
Today, you'll learn how to set up hosting for
your site and purchase a domain.

A domain is what someone types into their
Internet browser to arrive at a website.

For example, if someone wanted to come to
my website, they would type in
http://www.LearnWebDevelopment.com

If your client doesn't have a website, they
probably won't have a domain or hosting, so it
will be part of your job to help them decide on
a domain, purchase it and get it hosted.

The first thing to keep in mind when choosing a
domain name is that having the keywords in the
domain will help more than not having them because
most search engines look at the domain name.

Let's say you're building a website for a dentist
in McKinney, Texas.

An example domain name is:
http://www.mckinneydentist.com

Here are some other things to keep in mind when
choosing a domain name:

- The domain name should be as short as possible,
easy to say and easy to remember.

- The domain name shouldn't need to be spelled,
but if you have to, it should be easy to spell.

- The domain name should be descriptive of what
the company does or offers.

Also, keep in mind your client will be saying the
domain name over the phone and people will be
telling others about it.

When someone hears your domain name it should
be easily understood, they should instantly know
how to spell it and they should know what the
company sells.

If you can come up with a domain name that does
all those things - and includes the keywords -
you'll have a near perfect domain name.

hyphens in your domain name and what could
happen if you ignore this advice.
