When you're starting a small business, one of the first things you need to do is create a website. This gives customers a way to find out more about your company and what you have to offer. When choosing a domain name for your website, there are several factors to consider. In this blog post, we will discuss some of the most important things to keep in mind when making your decision. Choose a domain name that's easy to remember
Your domain name should be something that people will remember, so keep it short and sweet! A domain name is easy for users to type when they are looking up information about your business. Include a keyword in the domain if possible, but don't try and add too many. Keep your domain name short
The longer your domain name, the harder it is for people to remember it. Keep the domain name under 25 characters, if you can, and make sure that it's easy for users to type when they are looking up information about your business. Try not to use numbers or hyphens
Avoid using numbers, hyphens or special characters in domain names as these add an extra detail to remember. Using numerals in your website can be confusing for people when they hear your website domain. They may type the word four instead of the numeral 4. Often, when hyphens are used, people forget and will type the domain without the dash. Keep it simple, use words only. Consider using keywords
Using keywords in your domain name can help boost your SEO efforts. It is worth researching different domain names to see if there is a suitable one that matches your business and includes keywords. But don't be tempted to go longer or more complicated just to fit one in. 
Go branded
It may be difficult to get a domain name that will include a keyword, but even if it doesn't include one you can still use SEO techniques to help boost rankings. Domain names that are branded are easier for users to remember as they are associated with the business name they know and love. Do you research
Before choosing your domain name, you should do your research. Find out if it's trademarked or copyrighted before you settle on it.

Choose your domain name extension
The domain extension (.co.uk, .com, .net, .org etc) are the suffixes at the end of your web address. These can have different uses and one may work better for your business than another.
