    First impression counts in life. It's hilarious how the growth potential of some lofty projects are jeopardized due to bad choice of domain names. Your choice of domain name can severely affect your online success. A credible project should have a name that gives an insight of what the site is all about.

    So, how can one choose a domain name?

    1. Make it simple to remember

    For example, successful sites like Google.com, Facebook.com, & twitter.com
    are all easy to remember. You can conveniently introduce them to someone
    without risk sounding like a jackass...word of mouth is also very popular.

    2. Pick a word or group of words that relate to the content of your site

    3. AVOID hyphens

    Do you think Google will be as successful as it is today with something like
    Google-search.com? Frankly, I believe the hyphen is for third rated
    sites that have no future goals.

    4. Choose a Unique Domain Name

    OKAY FELLAS UNTIL I COME YOUR WAY NEXT TIME... HOPE I HAVE RELIEVED SOMEONE'S HEADACHE OUT THERE ? FEEL FREE TO ASK ME ANY QUESTION ON DOMAIN NAME CONSIDERATION.
