  1. Think about the structure of your domain name first. A domain normally has a prefix (https), a subdomain (www), the main name (website), and an extension (.com, .org., .net).
  2. For your main domain name, you should consider a name that is short, easy to spell and remember like big famous brands such as Apple, Google etc.
  3. If your brand name is not a fictional word, it should contain relevant keywords in the domain name.
  4. Try to not use unusual symbols or hyphens as harder to remember/spell domains are less likely to be searched on search engines.
  5. Think carefully about the extension of your website. Determining factors are location, purpose/function, and type of business.
  6. If you’re looking for international website exposure, go for a .com domain name if available.
  7. Buy a country specific TLD if your business/brand operates more locally (co.uk for the UK, .de for Germany etc.).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Your domain name is your virtual address for your online property. Anyone searching for your domain name will find your website via search engines or a web browser. Every website is registered with a unique IP address consisting of a series of numbers. This address informs the domain name system (DNS) about the location of the website. An IP address is much harder to recall, which is why in a domain name words are used that make up the URL. So, make sure you get your domain name right when searching it with SeekaHost’s website domain finder tool inside the SeekaPanel and secure it fast as good names are snatched up quickly.

If you think you have found the best domain name for your website, you should quickly enter it in the domain search bar in the SeekaPanel to see if it is available. You will then see if your name is available or taken. If your domain is shown as unavailable, it is either reserved by the Domain Registry or registered by another webmaster. You then have the following options: - If you really want this specific domain name with the extension, you can make an offer for that domain name to the registered owner. You can learn more about this process in our expired domain buying guide. - If you are happy to accept a variation of your ideal domain name, you can either choose the name with a different extension (check price and suitability first), choose one of the domain variations suggested by the SeekaHost domain finder tool. - Or start a completely fresh domain name search with a different domain name as you should not settle for a name that you’re not 100% happy with.
