The era is changing towards the digital improvements and we are experiencing more services to
available online. It may be any service or product. Entrepreneurs are expecting more from their business and to broaden the reach and lowering cost of operations they are entering into the online mode too.

The first thing towards entering into any online business is to have a great domain name. A business owner has to think of the domain name as the name by which your business will be known online; selecting the name of your domain is very important as for the lifetime of your business it will be known by that name in the internet world. There are many rules of thumb which you can follow to find a domain name which matches your business perfectly.

I’ve come up with some tips to help entrepreneurs better establish their online presence and start with booking an attractive domain name for their business. Once the domain is fixed you can use various other tools to cut your cost and can help you to promote your business with viral marketing and minimises cost with budgeting tips.

1. Give a KISS to your Business

KISS or Keep It Short and Simple is the best way to be remembered in the customer’s mind. An example is Casino.com which is having a very short and simple domain name which can be easily remembered by the clients without any special efforts. This is because there are only six characters in casino.com In my experience, shorter domain names (no more than five characters) will produce a lower risk of typing errors and will allow consumers to easily remember it. The small domain also helps you to promote better in the market.

2. Variations are equally important

When you book a domain name I advise to obtain variations on their original domain name, because customer often mistypes when they are not aware of your business and domain. Keeping the variations redirected to your original domain ensures the targeting your prospective customer on your business. For e.g. flickr.com have variation flicker.com both domains are owned by Yahoo but it uses flickr.com as main domain and another one as a variation.

3. Make it Obvious

Don’t let your customer need to require special attention to type domain correctly, due to spelling, length or the use of un-memorable words or sounds, and reach your business. With this step you’ll lost a good portion of your branding and marketing value.

4. Unspoken Rules

Before you choose a new domain for yourself, you must be sure that it is not violating any existing brand copyright policies. For example, Facebook won’t like to have a domain name with “Facebook” in it, and may result in the legal case against your business. Also the similar handles must be available on social media like Facebook and Twitter which can be declared as your official handles. Eg. BumbleBee Hub having a domain name as bengatricks.tk with a Twitter handle as @BengaTricks and Facebook handles also as @BengaTricks
