Choosing your domain name can be a tricky process. There has been advice in the past that you should try and choose a name that reflects your business and where you are for example www.cakeshop-aberdeen.co.uk this was all to help with your search engine ranking, however, these days that is not quite so important.

The priority should be that it is obvious that it is related to your business, it should be easy to remember so that prospective customers don’t have to look it up all the time and for a business in the UK we would recommend you use a .co.uk domain name but think about purchasing the .com as well to ensure a competitor does not register it. You can always link (alias) the .com domain to show the .co.uk website if you prefer.

The key points to remember when choosing a domain name are:

• Does it relate to your business or business name? (not required but useful)
• Is it easy to remember? (odd spellings and hard words may confuse visitors)
• Is it short and snappy? (does it flow easily when spoken over the phone)
• Does it include unnecessary punctuation such as lots of ‘-’ (dashes) ?

for example, would you click this domain name..
www.this-name-is-too-long-and-has-lots-of-hyphens.co.uk
