Your domain should be unique Avoid confusion with your competitors or you may end up sending them some of your visitors and prospects! Use keywords that describe your product, services, or brand. This will help your website get better results in search engines such as Google. For example, your domain could include the city where you live, one of your main products, or the brand you are marketing. Choose the right extension, or "type" of domain.

By using one of the new domain types, you also greatly increase your chances of finding an available domain with the keywords you need. Register several relevant variants. This could include domain spelling mistakes, useful variations, or geographically targeted domains.
