To choose a perfect domain name, you must consider your brand identity and your target audience because it should resonate your website objectives.

It is crucial to keep your domain name very simple and easy to read because i a complex or ambiguous domain name will confuse the users and that is why it is necessary to avoid usiyplenty phrase that may be very difficult for users to recall.

I'm a traditionalist, so I've got some outdated practices. I pretty much stick with the main TLDs (com, net, org), I avoid hyphens or misspelling a word (like using a Z instead of a S in the domain), and I try to look for shorter names. If that means going with net/org over com, so be it.

I purchase domains now mainly for reselling or parking , so the income of the domain name is the main criteria for registration.
