    neither! hypen and underscore generally make it difficult for people.

    Try to use only alphabets or numbers in a domain name as other things tend to make the name a bit difficult to remember and recollect!

    I understand the frustration of getting a decent domain names now a days. We then resort to numbers and other characters just to have that domain name we always wanted. But guess what -- it is still the best practice to have a one-word domain name (meaning no underscores, hyphen, et al).

    What I usually do is just invent some new catchy words or form some acronym. I usually come up with cool domain names sometimes that are actually available.

    Hi,

    The best way to choose the domain name is to keep it simple and short, so that it is easy to remember for people and easy to access.
