🧠 Keep It Simple, Smartypants
Your domain should be:
Easy to spell
Easy to say
Easy to remember
Avoid hyphens, numbers, or weird spellings unless your brand is weird (in a good way).
Tip: Think “radio test” — if someone hears it, can they type it?
📏 Shorter Is (Usually) Better
People aren’t typing paragraphs into their browser bar. Short domains are:
Easier to recall
Less prone to typos
Cleaner on business cards, emails, and mugs
🔑 Use Keywords (But Don’t Force It)
A good domain can include what you do — like breeze.host (we’re into hosting, clearly).
But don’t cram in every SEO term. “BestAffordableReliableSecureHostingProvider247.com” is a no-go.

📣 Think Brandable
Ask yourself:
Does it sound like a brand?
Can you picture it on a logo?
Is it distinct from competitors?
Fun fact: Many great domains didn’t mean much at first — until the brand gave them meaning. (Looking at you, Google.)
🕵️♂️ Check Availability (Everywhere)
Make sure your domain isn’t:
Trademarked
Already in use on social media
Suspiciously close to a bigger brand (hello, cease-and-desist letters)
