Coming up with a catchy domain name, which is a website address, means finding an original name you and others like. Your domain name should cause you to feel good whenever you use it or share it with others. People also remember catchy domain names better, especially if it brings up an image they find pleasing. It may take several tries for you to come up with a catchy name that does not already exist. The name you choose does not have to be perfect. If you find one, register your domain name through a reliable registrar, also called a domain registration company.
Instructions
Difficulty:
Step 1
Use compound words to make a catchy domain name. For example, people find "PayPal" a simple name to remember, and both catchy and friendly. Another well-known name, "Whole Foods," defines the business. Write down some simple, compound words in a notebook you think people may enjoy saying.
Step 2
Pick a domain name that is easy to spell and remember. People will often misspell a difficult-spelling name and may never find your website. Also, if a person cannot remember your website, then they cannot share the name with anyone else who may be interested.
Step 3
Select a name that accurately describes your business or blog. For example, "CakesByCharla" tells others exactly what to expect from this business. Those who have an interest in ordering cakes may visit this website.
Step 4
Opt for a catchy but shorter domain name. People remember shorter names more easily than longer ones; plus the shorter names make it effortless to type in and share with others.
Step 5
Choose a unique, single word for your domain name. Well-known, catchy single word domain names include Apple, Google, and Amazon.
Step 6
Another option is to select a foreign word that accurately describes your business or website. For instance, the "Nike", the famous sportswear supply store means "goddess of victory" in Greek mythology.
Step 7
Use a domain name generator to give you some catchy name ideas. You can find quite a few free domain name generators online, or you can pay for a domain name generating service.
Step 8
Look outside of the box to help you choose a catchy domain name. The science of numerology analyzes the vibrations each letter of your domain name symbolizes, represented by numbers. The meaning of the name you choose makes a significant difference in whether your domain name attracts or repels people to your website. Free, online numerology name analysis websites can provide information about the name you choose or you can pay a professional numerologist to create one for you.
