We were discussing in our last post that how important it is for a site to have a unique and a proper domain name that is identifiable in the online world . This time around we would throw some light on the basics that you should follow before selecting a domain name for your project.

First basic is to check that the name you are choosing is expired or not. You should never register a expired domain name. This process will prevent you from two things, first paying high fees and second trade mark conflict with the previous owner.

How to select a good domain name is the next question. Well I would say it depends a lot on your mindset while going for the domain. Most of us have a name for the site which we would like to buy, but if you don’t have any such idea you need not worry we have a simple solution about it as well. First start with the thought that what would you like to have the domain for , i.e. what is the purpose of the domain. We suppose here that you want your site to be an SEO relates site but you can’t get a name for it. Go to any popular search engine of your choice and type the words expired domain names, it will open up a list of such sites. Once you land up at one of these sites type the keyword you would like your site to be about , SEO , in this case and the site will come up with many names. Take a cue from these sites and name your own site. Simple, isn’t it.
