• Avoid names that are hard to spell.
   
• Deliberate misspellings can also negatively impact the value of your domain name.
   
• Names that are two "joined" words where the first word ends in the same letter the second word begins with are also not good choices.
   
• Overall, a .com is better than a .net extension. If the .com isn't available and you want to consider the .net, check out the .com site. They will be getting some of your traffic. Maybe not a significant amount it's true, but it should weigh in on your decision. If they offer the same services you do, we highly recommend you do NOT use the .net.
   
• A domain name that exactly matches your company name is a great choice. Do not just add your corporate identity to the domain name to secure the unique one though. GrannysAttic.com is much better than GrannysAtticLLC.com or GrannysAtticInc.com. Your corporate name will not stick with your customers; they don't care and won't remember that you are an LLC.
   
• Shorter domain names are better than longer ones.
   
• Very long domain names will be misspelled when visitors are typing it into the address bar of their browser.
   
• Consider purchasing a common alternate spellings for your domain name as well as the marketed name (e.g. LocalTheatre.com and LocalTheater.com)
   
• Consider purchasing the most common misspellings of your domain name too.
