Tips for choosing the right domain name


In addition to registering your business name as a domain name, you may want to register the names of your products or services, or other related names. For example, if you design and sell gourmet aprons, and your primary domain name is countrystyle.com, you might also want to register aprons.com so that customers who are looking for aprons and enter "aprons" into their browser will land at your site.

It's also a good idea to register common misspellings of your primary domain name and of the names that reflect the nature of your products or services. Keep in mind, however, that it's illegal to register a domain name solely for the purpose of blocking someone with a legitimate right to the domain name from using it.
