✅ Key tips for picking the right domain:
- Keep it short and simple
Avoid long or complex names. Easy to spell = easy to remember. - Use your business name (if available)
Consistency helps build your brand across web and social. - Avoid hyphens and numbers
They confuse users and are easy to mistype. - Choose the right extension
.com is still king. But if it’s taken, try .co, .store, .net, or something industry-specific. - Check availability on social media
You want the same handle across platforms.
