Top 10 Points to Consider While Buying a Domain Name<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

But before buying a domain name to set up your online business here are the top 10 points to consider before buying a domain name.<\/span><\/p>\n

Point #1. Always Opt the \u2018.com\u2019 <\/span>extension<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Do you know that 43% of domains i.e. over 134 million have the \u2018.com\u2019 extension? Believe it or not \u2018.com\u2019 TLD is still the best domain extension across the world. Sometimes search engines not only prefer \u2018.com\u2019\u00a0over others but also boost credibility.<\/span><\/p>\n

Point #2. Sometimes Don\u2019t Go for the \u2018.com\u2019<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you want to target the specific audience of any specific country then you should make use of \u2018.co.uk\u2019 extension for the United Kingdom or \u2018.de\u2019 for Germany or \u2018.in\u2019 extension for India.<\/span><\/p>\n

Point #3. Pick a Brandable Domain Name<\/span><\/h3>\n

Brandable domains can be defined as non-generic keywords with no specific meaning. Brandable names do not define what your company is all about. Let’s make it clear with an example.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you think Google would scale its business as high as of now if they had chosen ‘searchenginejournal.com’ or YouTube had chosen ‘videolibrary.com’? You will find all the popular brands have chosen a term that is not only easy to remember but also seems trustworthy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Point #4. Buy a domain name which short and easy to remember<\/span><\/h3>\n

Your domain name should give a clear idea of what your website is all about to the audience. If you have chosen a domain name that is easy to remember then this will help your readers to share with their friends i.e. potential customers. To create easy to remember domain name you can follow the following three points,<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep your domain name short \u2014<\/span> Your domain name length must be between 6 and 15 words excluding the TLD.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make it simple \u2014<\/span> Don’t include hyphens, underscores, complicated terms, and numbers, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Include ‘Niche’ Keywords \u2014 <\/span>If you are in the ‘review’ niche then you can include ‘Review’ in the domain name. When you include your ‘niche’ specific keyword in your domain, this will increase Click Through Rate [CTR] which boosts your site’s rankings i.e. SEO.<\/span><\/p>\n

Point #5. Check if the domain name is in the trademarked domains list or not<\/span><\/h3>\n

Be sure that you are not including a trademarked term in your domain name. Even if your domain name does not consist of the trademarked term don’t buy domains that are just variation of that trademarked term. Just make it clear. Don’t buy a domain name like ‘face-book.com’ since this infringes a trademark.<\/span><\/p>\n

Point #6. Consider Synonyms of your target domain name<\/span><\/h3>\n

Don’t be frustrated if your target domain name has already been taken or is a ‘premium domain’ which is a bit costly. You should try to find relevant keywords or synonyms. Suppose your target domain is ‘reviewcentral.com’. You find that this is a premium domain that costs $38,800. You may buy ‘reviewcage.com’ which costs less than $10 a year.<\/span><\/p>\n

By making use of ‘Thesaurus.com’ you can find unique ‘out of the box’ domain names and even get the better domain name than your target domain name.<\/span><\/p>\n

Point #7. Offer the owner if your target domain name is taken<\/span><\/h3>\n

If your desired domain name is already taken you can still own that domain. You should check if the domain name is in use or not. If the domain name is not under operation then it is clear that the domain was bought to sell it later. Once you get the email of the domain owner, send an email to check if the owner wants to sell or not.<\/span><\/p>\n

Point #8. Check availability of your domain name on social media platforms<\/span><\/h3>\n

Even if you don’t plan to promote your blog on social media right now, you should check if your domain name is available on social sites or not. It is easier for your audience to check your social media profiles if you make use of identical handles as your domain name.<\/span><\/p>\n

Point #9. Pick a Trustworthy Domain Registrar<\/span><\/h3>\n

The domain registrar allows a user to register a domain name and full access to that domain name for a certain period of time. To pick the best trustworthy domain registrar you should consider the following points,<\/span><\/p>\n

Price \u2014<\/span> You should check whether the domain registrar offers lower prices for the first time registration and on renewal too. Apart from that, you should check whether the domain registrar has any hidden fee on renewal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Domain Transfer \u2014<\/span> Make sure that the domain registrar allows a user to transfer the domain with ease and without any extra fee if the service is not up to the mark.<\/span><\/p>\n

Offer Add-on Services \u2014<\/span> You should check what other services i.e. domain privacy, hosting services are that your domain registrar is offering. Bluehost offers free domain registration for the first year if you have purchased web hosting from Bluehost.<\/span><\/p>\n

Point #10. Lock Your Domain Name to Protect your Domain from Unauthorized Third Party<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sounds awkward? But let me tell you it may seem odd.\u00a0 Anyone can hijack your domain than your imagination. The hijacking of your domain is done by either hacking your password or via a blackhat technique.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the hijacker gets your User id or email, and password he can do whatever he wishes to do with your domain account. You should Lock your domain to avoid misdirect nameservers or transfer of a domain from unauthorized third parties without your consent.<\/span><\/p>\n
