Picking a domain is very important. This is a little guide on how to pick the right domain.

1. The domain name should be short. The more short the name the more easy it is to remember for your web viewers. An example of a short domain is live.com. It is a search engine from Microsoft.

2. You should pick domain extension that you want. The extensions are called the top-level domain. Top-level domain is the last part of an Internet domain name; that is, the letters which follow the final dot of any domain name. Their are bunch of top-level domains that you can buy. The most common are com, org, and net. I recommend a .com suffix. It is the first extension that most people try when searching for a Website. Also, since it is one of the oldest extensions.

3. You should have a domain that is related to your website. With my website address gregellison.net, it is related to me and my life.

4. You should avoid trademarked names because the companies can sue you and you don’t want that.

5.You don’t want to waste a lot of money on a domain name. Here are links to the most reputable domain registrar companies that are out there. Godaddy, GKG. Most of the domain names cost around 10 dollars.

When you find the right domain name. You should ask your friends and family what they think about the domain name. If they like the domain name then you have made the right choice. If you think the domain name is good then just buy it because you can get the domain around $10.00 like I said in step 5 of this guide.
