CHOOSING
YOUR DOMAIN NAME
Your first step to open your Online Business...
A domain name is an address for the Internet.
It helps people find your web site. Just as homes and businesses
have street addresses, all web sites have domain names. This is
why it is extremely important for your to choose a good domain
name when you are developing your website since this name can
affect the first impression you make to visitors greatly.
It not only builds credibility by showing customers that you have
an established business, but it can also provide customers with
an easy way to remember your site. At the same time, it actually
secures your brand and keeps it out of the hands of the competition.
Thus, when choosing a domain name you need to pick one that reflects
your company or the topic that your site will be addressing. It
has to be unique and brief so that it is easy to remember and
to spell. You can use letters, numbers and hyphens when typing
out your domain name since other symbols are not allowed.
 A
domain name has two parts, preceded by the ‘www’.
So, for example, ‘www.google.com’, the ‘google’
is the unique name that represents the website. The second part
is the extension, the ‘.com’, and it stands for ‘commercial’.
There are many extensions available though, such as ‘.com’,
‘.net’, ‘.biz’, ‘.info’, etc.
You must keep in mind that the first name you come up with might
not be available and might have been bought by someone else, therefore,
you should come up with several other options and variations.
Try rearranging your words around and adding hyphens or using
abbreviations. However, keep in mind that Innova Design will be

will be there to help you come up with a name that suits your
company.
