Choose Domain Name

After you decide on the subject of your website, the next step is to choose domain name and domain extension. All my domain are .com domains and for vast majority of websites .com is the best extension. Domain name is important. You would want domain's name that is easy to remember and easy to spell. Ideally, it should be no more than 3 words and no longer than 15 characters, not counting the extension. The shorter name is better than longer name. You would want domain name to reflect subject of your website.
