The best tip for picking a domain name is to match your existing or preferred business name and use the top-level domain of “.com”. Unfortunately, many of the domain names are already registered. Here are some tips on selecting alternative domain name.

  • if no one is actively using the “.com” you can select another top-level domain name like “.net” or one of many other ones.
  • You could add another word onto the domain name but if the original domain name is in the same industry, it will probably cause confusion.
  • Avoid using words that aren’t easy to spell.
  • Avoid using numbers since it might not be clear if you spelled out the number like “word3word.com” when someone might think your domain name is “wordthreeword.com”.
    • you could purchase both domain name to eliminate this confusion.
  • Try combining two or three words and “.com” for the best option of trying to find an available domain name.
