Having been said that, India is being recognized by several technically advanced nations like US, Canada, and UK for the convenience of hiring India’s services. 80% have ranked India as their first choice in hiring IT services.

While, the companies can provide high-end services, and result-oriented products, certain things require your individual attention. This includes deciding a domain name for your website.

Choosing a domain name is similar to choosing a company name — it requires a lot of thought and consideration.

Your website domain name will be your business identity. You will be recognized by it, people will search you using this domain name, the name people will pass on to others. Thus, it is significant and holds much importance. Hence, it is equally important that you spend sufficient time, and enough efforts to find that perfect name which will be,

1. relevant based on the type of business it introduces
2. memorable
3. easy to memorize
4. easy to spell
5. unique

Relevancy is important in order to help your visitors not confuse it with some other business portal. You can name your website, as ‘fisheinsea’ and the reader will not know whether it is an introduction to a water park or someone who is selling fishes. Your domain name can be ‘newways’ and one would never know whether what the newness all about is and where is the way leading.

Therefore, relevancy and exactness is important. Try adding your keyword in the domain name of your business web portal. For example, if you are a car repairing company, you may want a domain that says it directly, like ‘xyzcarrepairs’. It will be even better if you add your location to it like ‘Delhicarrepairs’.

What makes a domain name memorable is its short and to the point name. Give your domain easy spellings so that the reader will not forget it easily. You might want to name your educational website, as ‘edificationtutelage’ but it will serve no purpose. It does not include any keyword, does not imply a direct introduction, is not easy to remember, and constitutes a difficult spelling along with hard-to-remember name. Instead, you could have gone easy with ‘schoolofEnglish’ or ‘Englishtaughteasily’. Avoid using symbols like underscores, hyphens, and numbers when unnecessary.
