Tip #1 Build a list of keywords.

Using your business name alone as your domain name is not always appropriate, especially if you are new to the Internet and nobody recognizes your business name.  Keywords are words or phrases that best describe your website or your products and services.

If you plan to use generic terms like ‘shoes for sale’, you’ll have a hard time finding an ideal low cost domain name and even if you do, you’re going to be up against severe competition because of the term’s broadness. For better results and the cheapest domain name registration, use keywords that are more specific and relevant to your business.

Tip #2 Target the shortest web domain names first.

If you’re lucky enough to have keywords that are not more than seven characters and best reflect your website then go for it and register web domain immediately. Everybody loves a short and sweet website URL. It’s easier to recall and quicker to type!

Tip #3 Target web domain names that are simple to spell.

Avoid any names or words that use double letters or those that are commonly and erroneously believed to use double letters.

For the first example, think of words like ‘barrier’ and ‘ballet’. It’s easy to mistype words that have double letters even if you know the exact spelling. When that happens, your prospective clients or customers might end up being redirected to your clients simply because they had to foresight to purchase the most commonly mistyped versions of your web domain.

For the second example, consider names like ‘Massachusetts’ or words like ‘tomorrow’. As there are several options for you to use double letters, you could end up misspelling them altogether. Again, that could have disastrous results.

Avoid also using two words together if the last letter of the first word is the same with the first letter of the last word. Think words like “best trumpets” or “amethyst tiaras”. When you use them in the URL, people will wonder if you are going to repeat the letter or use the same letter for both words. This ambiguity could cost you a good chunk of your market if you’re not careful.

Now that you know the secrets to choosing the best discount domains, hurry and check domain name availability before you run out of choices!
