Domain Name Registration

Choosing The Right Domain Name

Keep it short – shorter names are easier to remember, faster to type and look better in marketing. Use a keyword if it helps – words like “design”, “plumbing” or “shop” tell people what you do, but don’t stuff them in. Pick the right extension – .nz or .co.nz for a New Zealand business, .com for a global audience, .org for non-profits, .io for tech, .shop or .store for e-commerce.

Sound like a brand – avoid hyphens and numbers, choose words that are easy to say and spell, and test it on a friend. Check it’s free – domain, social-media handles and trademarks. Leave room to grow – a name that doesn’t lock you into one product.

Thousands of domains are registered every day – if your name is available, grab it now; you can always redirect it later.
