Registration of domain is one of the most important thing before we set up our websites.

Here are some pointers to create useful and meaningful domain names that will work for you.

1. The name you choose must be easy to remember

2. In the past, shorter name are usually remembered easily.  However, shorter domain names are harder to come by now.

3. So now, domain names can be slightly longer.  It should be noted that they should be meaningful and descriptive and related to the content that the website

4. Think about what extension you would like to have.  The most common extensions are .com, .org, .net, .info, .biz 

5. dot com is one of the most popular extension and thus also pose the problem of someone else have already registered for the name that you want for a dot com extension.

6. When names are taken, try using hypens or you can add words like "online" and "e" to your desired domain name.  Example, if you want the domain name "Diet Recipes" but it is already taken.  You can try "e-diet-recipes" or "diet-recipes-online" or "online-diet-recipes" and so on.
