What has to be considered when you choose the domaine name of your website?

Hi to everyone!
I am thinking about creating my website. Thanks to other posts I got a lot of useful information, but for me it is always a question : what has to be considered when choosing the domaine name of your website?

 

[dragos22]

short and simple

can the domaine name have numbers?

Can have numbers does not matter.

* It should be easy to remember, unique{ do not add parts from other popular sites } , should related to the content of the website.

Ok. Thank you. It seems to be easier then I imagined.:dj:

You should choose between a brandable domain name or a name that is related to your niche. Mostly when you are making an authority blog/website, a brandable name is more useful.

domain

it should be short, simple and for people easy to memorise

 

[hynds]

It should be brandable first, then find the keyword domain related to you niche

things to consider about choosing a domain name

is the domain memorable as possible?
is it easy to read?
is it as short as possible but still make some sense?
does it relate to your business or website type?

these are just a few off the top of my head but i am sure more could be thought of.

Unique and brandable. What will set you apart in the end is the quality of your service/product.

I would avoid hyphens, numbers and shortcut words like cars4u. It goes without saying that the name should not infringe upon someone else's trademark, so do your research.
