Choosing an Internet Domain: Why .com and SEO Matter

Ensure to select a rhythmic name for your Internet domain that lingers in the audiences' minds.

Using the acronym of a business's name for the Internet domain makes it hard for the audiences to remember the business's name.

Preferably, buy .com as the extension of your domain, and have .ca extension, as well if you are located in Canada.

Some extensions such as .org are not suitable for business. .org suits organizations. At the end, .com rules and it's the best extension for any business in any location.

Don’t use a long name for your Internet domain. Assume you want to launch an internet payment gateway somewhere. If you take Money.com, the process will quickly move forward. But if this domain is not available, you can register MoneyFastPay.com. It's the proper function that matters.

In the process of choosing a name for your Internet domain, don’t acronymize too much. The search engine optimization (SEO) method is much more important than a short name. People never type a long name such as rayancomputerltd.com; they search to find a suitable company. For example, they search some keywords such as "computer repair services". Have your service's keywords included in your domain name or description. What matters is to get noticed.
