Tips for choosing a domain name:
If you haven't already registered a domain name, or are looking to register additional domain names, WESH UK can offer advice and guidance on domain names or arrange domain name registration.
When choosing a domain name there are many factors to think about and customers often overlook the simple things that can often set a web site in good stead for success, so when choosing a domain name, ask yourself these questions:
- Can your domain name be spelled easily?
- Is your domain name long enough to make visitors give up?
- Does your domain name contain numbers that could be mistaken for words?
- Do you have 1 or more hyphens in your domain name making it awkward to learn?
- Is a non-hyphenated version of your domain name already in use with another company?
These are just a few things to consider before purchasing a domain name as we have seen many customers make the mistake of registering a name with 1 or more hyphens only to find that the none hyphenated name is already in use so this means you could be losing valuable business if your domain name was input incorrectly by visitors, and you may of course leave yourself open to legal action if your not careful.

A recent study showed that UK small businesses are rushing their choice of web address, with 41 per cent taking less than one hour to make a decision. A survey of 615 British businesses revealed that the average business spends only between 6-12 hours choosing its main domain name. Some 61 per cent of business owners sought no second opinion before making a selection and over half did not consider options such as .biz, .net or .eu at all.
Most recognised that their domain name could have a lasting effect on their business, with one third of businesses believing that their revenue would improve as a direct result of having a better web address, and 1 in 4 businesses admitting they had concerns about the effectiveness of their web address.
