The Fundera blog published a great infographic on how to choose the perfect domain name, and I'm going to share it with you. Pin it for later use. 





Make it brandable: Your domain name should be brandable. It means it should be easy to read, pronounce and remember. You should not use numbers or hyphens in a domain name. Because doesn't sound like a brand. 
For example, we used OnlineLivingBlog for this blog, but we don't use Online-Living-Blog. The first one is easy to say and remember. 

Make it short: You should care about the length of your business name. It should not be longer than fifteen characters. 

Keywords: You should use keywords in your domain URL. It's great for search engine optimization. If your domain can have a keyword, it will help to optimize for search engine. Keyword in primary url brings more organic traffic. 
But personally I don't like to use this type of domain. Think about Google.com or Amazon.com. Both of them are most popular website and has strong credibility. 

Use alternative TLD: If you can not get yourdomain.com then you should try for YourDomain.net, YourDomain.co, YourDomain.us. etc. Using a suffic or prefix domain is increasing it's popularity. Many popular brands are using an alternative TLD for their domain name.
