Choosing A Domain Name

Choosing the right domain name could at times be difficult and hurting,  but still its among the most important things when it comes to your internet identity. 

Not only do you want to be found online, but also be remembered much later and remain explanatory on the lips when you get viral.

Over the past few years, I have personally registered a couple of catchy domain names such as (yarnable.com, geofeed.me, yrn.me, edugeria.com and typr.us) so I would tell you things that I know about making a choice of domain name.

1. KEY WORD:
First you need to generate a list of generic keywords that describes your business, lets assume you want to start a business on real estate, you may want to add words to like "house, mortgage, home, apartment, shelter etc." to your list.

Because generic names like homes.com or shelter.com are mostly not available, you should add prefixes/suffixes to each of those generic keywords, such as arthomes.com, homesclean.com, 6kmortgage.com, afripartments.com etc.

Notice, I added prefixes and suffixes to the names to make them a bit unique and catchy!
