Most people may argue that a short domain name is better than a long domain name. Well, I agree. A shorter domain name is usually easier to remember. Of course, it depends on the situation.

You should avoid domain name that looks too similar to terms like eBay and Amazon. Registering these domain names can get you into trouble. You may be forced to sell the domain name. In the worst case scenario, you may even be sued.
If you are unsure, it is always a good idea to consult a lawyer, especially if you are planning to start a long term lucrative business.

If possible, try not to register a domain name with hyphen.

5: Use .com Whenever Possible;
“.com” is the most popular domain name extension. Most people will try .com first whenever they are searching for a website. Unless your website has a special purpose, try to register a .com.



Special Case:
If you are in education, then you may want to register a .edu extension. If your site is geared towards providing information, then .info may be a good choice. However, in most cases, a .com will be a good choice.
