3 most popular tips for choosing a successful domain name for an online store

A successful domain name can boost the traffic and sales of your online store. It will serve as your identity on the internet and should be easily found while still fitting your business. Here are the 3 most popular tips for choosing a successful domain name for an online store.


1. GO for simplicity.

   Keep it short and make it easy to type and pronounce. Avoiding misspellings and confusion will be key in making sure that your store's web address can easily be typed or searched by users online. This will also make it easier to remember for your clients which will help your branding.


2. GO for a .COM  extension.

   By far it is the most popular and widely used top level domain on the web. People are more used to it and mostly assumed by users to be the extension of a website they hear about. Like for example a customer refers an online store to a friend by saying " I bought these custom printed bags from Zazzle and their lovely " . The friend likely to search for the store's website on the internet would assume that the address would be zazzle.com and type it such.


3. Research the domain name you want.

  Go to your address bar or search engine sites like google, and try searching for your preferred domain name. You should see based on the results if there are many competitor stores using similar names. Make sure that you avoid copyright issues and trademarks.
