DOMAIN NAMES

Your domain name is your brand’s digital address. It’s how people find you online — and how they remember you.

Think of it like the front door to your website. Whether you’re starting a business, blog, or side hustle, your domain name gives people a simple, professional way to reach you.

For example, if your business is “Acme Widgets,” you might choose:

  • acmewidgets.com
  • widgetsco.com
  • shopacme.com

A memorable, brand-friendly domain:

  • Helps people recognize and recall your site
  • Builds trust and credibility
  • Makes it easier to market your presence across the web

No matter what you’re creating, it all starts with the right domain name.

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT DOMAIN NAME?

Your domain name should be easy to remember, represent your brand, and feel trustworthy. Below is how to pick one that works for you.

7 Tips for Choosing the Right Domain

  1. Keep it short and simple 
    Shorter domains are easier to remember, spell, and type.
  2. Avoid hyphens and numbers
    These can confuse people and lead to typos.
  3. Use words people can say out loud
    If you’d hesitate to tell a friend the name, it’s too awkward.
  4. Include keywords (if it makes sense)
    Relevant keywords can help with search engine visibility — but don’t overdo it.
  5. Think long-term
    Pick a name that can grow with your business — not one that limits you to a niche.
  6. Make it brandable
    Use words that sound like a name, not a description. Unique = memorable.
  7. Check availability
    Search to see if it’s taken, trademarked, or used on social media.

✅ Pro Tip:

If your first-choice name is taken, try:

  • Adding your city or service area
    (e.g., jacksonvilleflorist.com)

  • Swapping word order
    (e.g., getzenbeauty.com instead of zenbeauty.com)

  • Using a verb or action
    (e.g., joinmodco.com instead of modco.com)

Make a Long Domain Name Easier to Share and Remember

Shorter domains are easier to say, spell, and type — but sometimes a longer name makes sense.
Here’s how to make it work:

  1. Be clear, not clever.
    Focus on what you do. Avoid wordplay that could confuse your visitors.
  2. Use your brand name fully.
    If your business name is longer, it’s okay to use the whole thing for consistency across platforms.
  3. Add value, not fluff.
    Include words like “shop,” “studio,” or your location if they help clarify who you are.
  4. Use separators wisely.
    If needed, hyphens can help with clarity — but use them sparingly.

Pro Tip:
Make sure your long domain is easy to pronounce and doesn’t look odd when typed as one string (watch for unintentional word mashups).

Selecting the Right TLD (Top-Level Domain)

Your domain ending — like .com, .org, or .shop — says something about your business. Here’s how to choose:

  • .com – The gold standard. Most people default to it. Best for trust and general appeal.
  • .net – A solid alternative, especially for tech, SaaS, or network-based brands.
  • .org – Nonprofits and mission-driven orgs.
  • .co, .shop, .online – Great for startups, ecommerce, or fresh brands.

Think about your audience:Would they expect a .com, or are they more likely to trust a creative TLD?

🚫 Avoid anything confusing or overly trendy unless it fits your niche perfectly.

Pro Tip:
Always buy the .com version if it’s available — even if you plan to use something else as your main domain.

Is Domain Privacy Protection For You?

Yes — if you care about keeping your personal info private and reducing spam. Domain privacy:

  • Keeps your contact details out of public WHOIS records
  • Shields your name, phone number, and email from spammers
  • Protects you from unwanted solicitations and data scraping

🛡️ It’s one of the easiest ways to protect your identity and reduce inbox noise.

REGISTERING A DOMAIN FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know about domain names — all in one place.

Frequently Asked Questions - Website Starter

Registering a domain means you’ve secured the rights to use that web address for your website or business. It’s like claiming your spot online.

Use the search tool at the top of this page. Just type in your idea — we’ll show you what’s available and offer alternatives.

Popular names get registered fast. If it’s taken, we’ll suggest similar names or help you try other extensions like .net or .co.

These are domain extensions (TLDs). “.com” is the most common. “.org” is often used by nonprofits, and “.net” works great for tech brands.

Not always. Google doesn’t favor one extension over another — what matters is high-quality content, relevant keywords, and good site structure.

It’s smart to register multiple versions (like .com, .net, and .org) to protect your brand from copycats or confusion.

Domains must be between 1 and 63 characters, but shorter is easier to remember. Avoid hyphens or numbers if possible.

Use the WHOIS tool on this page to check domain registration details — like when it was registered or who owns it (if public).

Yes! We make domain transfers easy — with no downtime. Just unlock your domain and grab the transfer code.

Absolutely. You can connect your existing domain to your new site in just a few clicks.

If it’s just a typo and you caught it quickly, contact support. Otherwise, it’s a new registration and can’t be reversed.

Domains are non-refundable due to industry rules. But we’ll help you repurpose it or find a better match.
