Another Approach When Choosing A Domain Name
It’s possible to choose a different name other than your business name, but you will have to work extensively to market the new domain name. Some existing businesses have used their toll-free number as way to find out about their online identity.
There is a well-known flower distributor that lists their online presence with their 800 number (1800-flowers) and work hard to brand that domain name along with the toll free number for contact. In essence they kill two marketing birds with one domain name.
Some people make the mistake of choosing a free online hosting site, which has little to do with their business at all. The belief is that this no-cost solution is a help to the development of their online company. Most of these sub-domains are largely ignored by online users and may not rank well in search engines. So having a domain name is very important. Without one you have zero visability.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to start an online business yet. It probably is a good time to research a domain name. It might be a good idea to choose a domain name that’s easy to remember if for no other reason, than the fact it is your actual business name.
Remember that people have very short attention spans.
It should be short and easy to remember!
