15 Essential Aspects for Choosing a Domain Name

Pick a domain extension like .com, .net, or country-specific extensions like .pk to target your audience effectively.

Including keywords in your domain can boost your SEO and help users understand what your site is about.

Numbers and hyphens can be confusing and make your domain harder to remember.

Choose a name that will still make sense as your business grows and evolves.

Register multiple domain extensions (.com, .net, .org) to protect your brand.

Check Social Media Availability

Ensure the domain name is also available on social media platforms for consistent branding.

1️⃣1️⃣ Avoid Double Letters

Double letters can lead to typos. Choose a simple, clean name.
