How to pick a domain name for your business

Choosing the right domain name is one of the most important steps when launching a new business online.
 A good domain builds trust, improves branding, and helps customers find you more easily.

✅ Key tips for picking the right domain:

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