How to choose a .wales domain name
Struggling to decide on the best .wales domain name? We’ve got some top tips to make your website stand out.
Size does matter
While your domain name can be up to 63 characters, shorter ones are easier to remember and harder to misspell.
Steer clear of numbers
Using numbers in your domain name can be confusing. If you need to use a number, consider registering a domain for each format.
Keep it simple
A domain name is the first thing people see when they find your site. So keep it short, sweet, and easy to type in a rush.
Avoid special characters
Avoid characters like exclamation marks and underscores. And if you need to use a hyphen, don’t put it first or last.
