What's in a (domain) name?


Having a website is essential for all businesses in the modern age, but when you're setting one up there's so much to think about!

One of the little considered factors is the domain name e.g. http://www.google.com/ as most people simply use the name of the company. I've found a very useful blog post about domain names with tips such as:
1. Keep it relatively short
2. Go for a catchy domain name
3. Avoid using hyphens
4. Avoid using numbers
5. Grab a Thesaurus and be creative
6. Use your most important benefit in your domain name

Make sure you consider these issues before choosing a domain name; it will help with SEO (your ranking in the search engines) and make it easier for your potential clients to respond to advertising.
