Good Domain Name (Part 2)
4. Plurals, “The”, and “My” Forms of the Domain Name
If you have a domain name in mind but it is already taken, you can have alternate forms of the name using my, the or possibly a plural for example, if you want car.com but it is no longer available you can possibly have mycar.com, thecar.com, cars.com.
If you plan on going for these kinds of domain name, promote your site beforehand as usually people will tend to forget the affix (the,my) when doing searches.
5. .ORG, .NET etc.?
If you are using a domain other than that of .com, same thing for using affixes, promote you site as people are more familiar with .com and would most likely do these when searching for websites.
It is also good to have a local domain name like .co.uk, if your business is in the UK or .co.in for India.. You can benefit from these as people in the particular country knows that they are dealing with a local company.
The domain name should be easy to remember and something that would stick in people’s mind.
