I need advice for my domain name

    I need advice for my domain name www.finefoodoasis.com. It is more than 1 year ago, when I created the website and have chosen the domain for "Tasty & Delicious" my wife's German Cafe and European Delicatessen Shop.

    After a learn process I recognized, that the domain I have chosen, is wrong. (Only my opinion)
    Now I would prefer a Domain such as "German Cafe or European Delicatessen Shop" instead of Finefoodoasis.

    Please give me some ideas, what could be the best choice especially when you consider how Google works.:)

    Thank you.

    What's the goal of the website? If it is to promote a physical store or location, you should go with the actual business name, if it is for something else, go with whatever name you want.

    The actual name of your website should relate to the content of the site.

    You are right.People easily remember if you keep the keywords as domain names and it also helps in SEO.Now what just register the domain name you want and redirect to findfoodoasis

    your domain name has nothing to do with "German Cafe or European Delicatessen Shop', it sounds like asia food. Maybe you should change your domain to related to your content

    The goal of the website is to promote a physical store. The name is Tasty & Delicious - and the second line is Helga's fine food oasis, which I used for the domain name.
    I think people would not search for Tasty & Delicious or Finefood. I guess they would search for German Cafe or European Delicatessen.

    What do you think?:cool:

    (1) Finefoodoasis makes me think of Sea Food "Oasis'

    (2) I would not even bother selling Finefoodoasis, I would just correct it myself and purchase the domain that i had originally wanted and would redirected Finefoodoasis to your new domain so that you get any Traffic that Finefoodoasis had, to your new domain!

    Why not use "tasty and delicious" after your shop name. Most of your customers are from your vacinity I believe. Even if tourist been to your shop they would easily recall by that name....

    Use the name of your business. If it's taken, then try some derivative of it and use as domain name. Or you can use the type of food you serve. Maybe even the location (the city or part of the city )and what type of food you serve in your domain name. But try to keep it short and easy to remember.
