1. Domain name
A good domain name should be easy to remember, easy to spell, and preferably short. The name of your company is always a good choice. An example would be google. If google was named mysearch.com, it would be hard to remember google was mysearch.
2. Keep your name short
Although you're allowed to register a name with up to 63 characters, you have to keep in mind that people need to be able to remember it. Try to register the shortest name that your customers and visitors will associate with your website. If you had to remember a domain name would prefer getmywebsitedocuments.com or mydocuments.com. Short names are easier for people to remember and type.
3. Hyphenated/Dash Names
Domain names can use letters, numbers, and dashes. You should avoid using dashes in your domain name. People are use to typing myspace.com not my-space.com. Referring a website to a friend is harder and more prone to errors with dashes. If you told your friend you went to my cool arcade dot com, he would probably type MyCoolArcade.Com not My-Cool-Arcade.com.
4. Dot What?
Originally, the three-letter suffix after the dot in domain names indicates whether the domain name was used for commercial (.COM), network (.NET), or non-profit (.ORG) purposes. Although there are guidelines, anyone may register these regardless of the intended use. We recommend choosing a .com name if available.

5. Register Your Domain
If you find a domain name that you think may work for you register the name. Domain names get bought up fast sometimes and you may lose it if you don’t register it quickly. You do not want to get stuck with a-domain-name-that-no-one-wants.org to represent your website.
