Domain name ideas
A good domain name is short, easy to say and spell, and fits the business you want to build. Use the ideas and advice for your industry below, or describe your own business in the generator to get ideas checked for availability.
How to choose a domain name
- Keep it short: under 15 characters is easier to remember and type.
- Pass the radio test: someone who hears it once should be able to type it.
- Avoid hyphens and numbers – people forget them or type them as words.
- Choose .com for an international audience or your country extension for a local one.
- Check trademarks and social media usernames before you register.
- Renewal prices matter more than the first-year offer.

Frequently asked questions
Does the domain name affect Google rankings?
Very little. Google ranks pages on their content, links and experience. A memorable name helps indirectly: more people remember it, return and recommend it.
What should I do if the .com is taken?
Try a prefix or suffix (get, try, hq, app), a shorter or alternative spelling, your country extension, or a related extension such as .co or .io. Our availability checker suggests alternatives automatically.
How many domains should I register?
Your main domain plus your country extension and one or two common misspellings is usually enough. Redirect them all to the main site.
