How To Choose A Domain Name & Company Name

Notes About Domain Names & Company Names:

  • I prefer .com domain names, but you can also use .net.
  • Make sure you get domain privacy (it costs an extra $2). It protects your contact information from spammers.
  • If you want to test a bunch of different websites, you can buy a generic domain like, info.com (it’s not available). Then you can set up subdomains like diets.info.com and computers.info.com. It’s very easy to set this up using your host – which we’ll talk about in the next video.
  • Your company name should be at least slightly related to your subject. If it’s not, you’re going to have to create a super strong brand name and identity – Google, Yahoo, Apple, etc.
