Domain selection is one of the most important stages on the way to creating a website. What is a domain? This is the name of your website on the internet. How to choose it?
Instructions
Step 1
Consider the level.
A domain can be of several levels: the first is.com, the second is mysite.com, the third is moscowcity.mysite.com, and so on. You can use any, but think about how difficult a company manager will face when he has to dictate the name of the site over the phone! Second-level domains are still preferred.
Step 2
Consider your brand.
The site is an integral part of your business, and therefore its name, if possible, should be consonant with the name of your company or your brand.
Step 3
Use simple spelling.
The domain name should be as simple and memorable as possible in writing. Do not use techniques that make it difficult to reproduce the spelling of the domain, such as numbers instead of letters: par14ok. com instead of parichok.com.
Step 4
Consider the domain zone.
Runet sites are characterized by.ru and.рф domain zones. Moreover, in the first case, the spelling of the site name will be in Latin, and in the second - in Cyrillic. The disadvantage of the Cyrillic domain is that some services do not support this encoding, and instead of the understandable word sanochki.rf, you will get "krakazyabra" xn - 80aqflfp9b.xn - p1ai. However, the undoubted plus of the Cyrillic domain is simple memorability. Which zone to choose is up to you.
Step 5
Find a reliable seller.
Where to buy a domain? It is best to do this with one of the accredited domain registrars - reg.ru, nic.ru or their partners. What is the difference? You rent a domain from an accredited registrar for a long term and you can dispose of it at your own discretion. Affiliates sell domains for less, but at the same time own them equally with you, which is associated with some risks (for example, domain loss).
