    Sorry if the question is fundamental :confused:


    Thanks

    I would say you must meet those requirement such as easy to remember,short domain, top level domain and use a related keyword domain.

    Make sure it's catchy and attractive.If the main keywords are not available,you can think out something innovative
    instead.For commercial use,.com is the best choice.

    first you must reaserch the most high search engine keyword. example real estate and having home improv niche. so you can use the niche to reg the domain, example home improv niche: buildyourhome.com the most important is good keyword. domain without good keyword=trash. except your domain having good and unique with 4-5 letter. example mambo.com (this domain can get $xx-$xxxx price).

    -> Domain name should be short and simple (easy to remember - 4 - 6 letter is best)
    -> Domain name should contain rich keywords (e.g if you are looking to buy domain for your car website than it should have car init)
    -> Should have good google search volume (you can use google keyword search) https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
    -> First should see if you can have .com otherwise country extension will be good. (e.g. if you are looking to buy domain for Indian website than go with .com or .in or .co.in

    Thanks - AJ

    1. keyword related (according to which i want to up my website on it)
    2. Most chance to get .com (of course, like .com, if it is available, if not go for .net etc.)
    3. Short name (as possible as short and which fulfill your requirement)
    4. Must be available (if available, you can get it)
