1. 10 Quick Tips for Choosing Domain
Names by MakeMySite.sg
1. Brief Works Best – The shorter and more concise your domain name is, the easier it will
be for your first-time visitors to remember it, type it, and refer it to their friends and
colleagues. (EX: www.DogCareSingapore.com is better than
www.DogSittingServiceAndCareInSingapore.com)
2. Include Keyword(s) - Use at least one keyword relevant to your niche. (EX: If your niche is
arowanafishes, try www.arowanafishesToday.com; if your niche is raw foods, you can try
www.NewRawFoods.com; if your niche is about longevity, try www.YourLongevityNow.com)
3. Avoid Hyphens – Website visitors often forget to type-in hyphens which result in losing
traffic to other websites (often your competitors) that don’t have hyphens in their domain
names. (Ex: www.bird-nest-breeding-for-you.com or www.copyright-consultation-
today.com or www.Keeping-It-Simple.com)
4. Use “.com” – Do your best to only use the “.com” extension because it’s the most
universally recognized extension. (Other extensions are “.com.sg" or ".net.sg” or “.tv” or
“.biz” or “.info” or “.us”)
5. Avoid Trademarks - If you include a Copyright or trademarked name in your domain, it is
highly likely you’ll receive a “cease and desist” letter from the company. visit copyright.gov
and search before you buy.
(EX: www.ILoveGoogles.com, www.EarnfromEbay.com, www.SingingForDummies.com,
www.buyingonlineAtWalmart.com)
6. Singular vs. Plural – When you face the decision of getting the singular or plural version
for your domain name, choose whichever tense makes most sense. If you’re unsure, get
both and redirect traffic from one to the other (EX: www.Constructionmentor.com vs.
www.Constructionmentors.com)
7. Avoid Number Substitutions – Numbers in a domain name used to substitute common
words can confuse and frustrate visitors (EX: www.CatFood4Less.com vs.
www.catFoodForLess.com or www.Back2SchoolTips.com vs. www.BackToSchoolTips.com ).
An exception to this rule is when the number is obviously not a word. (EX: “123” is used in
www.123Cookingrecipes.com )
8. Combining Words – Beware of combining words in your domain name that end and start
with the same letter because it often leads to mistyped domains. (EX:
www.MySuccessSecrets.com, www.CashPoorRich.com, www.BollywoodStarsSecrets.com,
www.CoolDomainNames.com)

2. 9. Local Businesses – If you have a local business, consider including the geographic
keyword in the domain name. (EX: www.MalaysiaWeddingPhotos.com,
www.DoorRepairspain.com)
10. Make it Easy to Remember - Remember that word-of-mouth and Search Engine Results
Page(SERPs) dominance marketing (where your domain consistently comes up for industry-
related searches) both rely on the ease with which the domain can be called to mind. You
don't want to be the company with the terrific website that no one can ever remember to
tell their friends about because they can't remember the domain name.
*The 3 Golden Rules:
