How to choose a .com domain name
Wondering how to pick the best .com domain name for your website? We’ve got some top tips for you.
Length matters
Although domains can be up to 63 characters long, try to keep users in mind. Shorter names are easier to remember and reduce the risk of misspellings.
Avoid numbers
Using numbers can potentially cause confusion – do they use digits or type it out? If a number’s needed, consider registering a domain for each format.
Keep it simple
Hard-to-spell words can make it difficult for users to find you. If it’s not possible to use an easier name, register multiple domains that cover misspellings.
No special characters
Most special characters, like underscores or exclamation points, are a no go. Hyphens can be used, but not as the first or last character of the domain.
