Getting the right domain is a very important stage in getting online, choose the wrong one and it could affect the success of your website. Below are some points you may want to consider before purchasing your domain.

Points to consider before choosing domain names:

• Try to stay away from uppercase letters as there is a unwritten rule that web addresses are normally all in lower case. If you do use uppercase you could lose valuable traffic from people who cannot find your site.
  
  
• Keep it simple; your main aim is for people to easily remember your web address as they may only see at a glance on the side of a van or in a magazine! If the name you really wanted has already been taken in the .com format try .co .uk.
  
  
• Have a number of different names to hand that you like as you may not get your first choice. If you are still having trouble finding a domain name go for something that is not related or slightly related to your business but is very catchy and can be remembered very easily. Examples are Amazon, Egg, Google, Yahoo etc.
  
  
• Analyse your potential market. If you are intending to only provide a service or sell in the UK try to get a .co.uk ending as people may not remember the ending of your address and will assume .co .uk. Also try to purchase more than domain name to stop competitors getting a domain name similar to yours. For example, siteweavers.co.uk & siteweavers.com.
