What is a domain name used for and what can you do with it?
A domain name is the site address you enter in your browser to reach a specific webpage.
The truth is that if you have a website, it needs to have an address, and that address needs to have a name.
The purpose of a domain name is to leave your mark on the web, whether that’s for an exciting technology startup company, or a recipe blog to share with your family. Whatever you want to do with a domain, it’s up to you, that’s the exciting part!
But there are other good reasons to register a domain too.
When you register one, you reserve it so that no one else can register it. So it might be smart to snatch up a domain now—your name, company name, or other things you’re involved with, like a book title, band name, or hobby—just to take it “off the market”.
There’s also a custom email.
Want an email address like me@eu? To get such a slick, personalized address, you’ll need to reserve the domain first, then attach it to email hosting. This is a smart move especially if you’re running a business site. That way, your customers can remember info@mybusiness as easily as they remember you.a
How to pick the right domain name for your business or personal site
Consider a name that’s brandable, not generic
In reality, a business domain name isn’t so different from a non-business name. It should be interesting, short, and memorable — if your name just uses keywords rather than showing some personality, you’re not going to stand out from the competition.
The domain name pizzarestaurantnyc.com is fine, but frankspizzaslice.nyc is much more exciting.
If you are a business, remember to pick a professional domain name. You don’t want something that will offend people and make them distrust your company.
Why not give it a go and see what you can come up with?
Keep it short and easy to type
Remember reading that it’s best to avoid long and hard-to-remember domain names? Here’s a real-world example for you — it’s easy to remember a name like Anna Lee, rather than a name like Anna Lee-Chastain-Tanner-Riley-Ross.
Make your domain name easy to pronounce and spell
Let’s imagine you want to create an advert for a slot during the big game. If it’s difficult for an actor to say your name in that advert, how do you expect other people to be able to understand?
The same goes for spelling. How do you expect people to find you easily on the web if they can’t even spell your domain name?
Keep it clear and unambiguous
Think about the people you want to reach. If you’re trying to grow your audience, it may be sensible to use familiar words, rather than industry-specific terminology that only a handful of people would understand.
Don’t use characters in your domain name
Although you can use hyphens, it’s not a good idea. You already know that keeping it short and snappy is preferable, so popping in unnecessary hyphens will elongate your name with no particular value.
In some cases, you may consider using numbers in your domain name. Websites like formula1.com and coffee2go.ie are good examples of numbers that work well.
Use keywords related to your niche
Whatever you specialize in, let people instantly know what you offer by using keywords in your domain name.
Let’s imagine you own a pizzeria.
You might consider pizzaplanet.co.uk.
Try to keep a healthy balance between keywords and uniqueness, or you could end up with a generic domain that’s easily forgotten.
Choose a mobile-friendly domain name
Mobile phones have small screens, another reason why it’s great to have a short, easy-to-type domain name that everyone will remember. You don’t want to be typing on your mobile so try to think of something small and mobile-friendly, such as uber.com or google.com.
Share your geographical location
You could also choose a generic top-level domain and use a geographical location in your second-level domain, like miamibasketball.com or londonrugbyschool.com.
There are many different ways to communicate your location, so have a look and see what makes sense for the area you want to target.
Think to the future
If you’re planning to expand your product range or offer more services, it’s worth taking some more time to reflect. To choose the best website name ask yourself, will this name serve me in the future?
You don’t want to register bathroomsbysam.com if you plan to sell kitchens down the line.
One way to diversify your website and help with future-proofing is to create subdomains. Take Twitter for example. Twitter uses the subdomain analytics.twitter.com to display useful data on followers and engagement levels.
Make sure it’s not trademarked or already in use
It’s obviously important to find out if your name has already been trademarked or currently in use.
A similar-sounding or identical name might confuse visitors, and even worse, have legal complications, such as establishing intellectual property rights.
Trademark conflict might mean that you have to change your domain (and maybe even company name) later, resulting in significant costs and potential loss of business. You could consider hiring an attorney for a more thorough review.
Search the trademark database to see if your name has already been registered.
Check social channels and register yours
If you’re keen on getting your website noticed by others, it’s sensible to check that you can get your hands on social handles.
You might have a great domain name but can’t get the matching Twitter handle or Facebook page, for example. Check this before you register.
You can see what’s available on social media using our name cheacker tool.
If a name isn’t available, it’s not a deal-breaker as your domain name and social media handles don’t have to be an exact match. But for branding purposes, you should think about how social handles might affect business.
As soon as you’ve locked down your domain name, get on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and other social channels to claim your accounts.
Can you name your website whatever you want?
Yes, you can choose any domain name, however, you can’t choose one that’s already being used by someone else, unless it’s up for sale on a marketplace.
Your domain name must also be between three and sixty-three characters, and made up of only letters, hyphens, and numbers.
What is an SSL Certificate and Why is it Important?
What is an SSL certificate?
An SSL certificate is a digital certificate that verifies the identity of a website and allows an encrypted connection to be established. SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer, a security protocol that establishes an encrypted link between a web server and a web browser.
Businesses and organizations need to add SSL certificates to their websites to secure online transactions and keep customer data private and secure.
In short: SSL keeps internet connections secure and prevents criminals from reading or modifying data transferred between two systems. When you see a padlock icon next to the URL in the address bar, it means that the website you are visiting is secured with SSL.
Since the SSL protocol was first introduced some 25 years ago, there have been several versions, all of which at some point ran into security issues. A newer version followed with a new name: TLS (Transport Layer Security), which is still in use today. However, the initials SSL have remained, so the new version of this protocol is still called by its old name.
How do SSL certificates work?
SSL ensures that data that is transferred between users and websites, or between two systems, remains unreadable. Encryption algorithms are used to encode the data in transit, preventing hackers from reading it as it travels over the connection. This data includes potentially sensitive information such as names, addresses, credit card numbers, or other financial data.
The process works as follows:
- A browser or server attempts to connect to a website (for example, a web server) that is secured with SSL.
- The browser or server asks the web server to identify itself.
- The web server sends a copy of the SSL certificate to the browser or server in response.
- The browser or server checks whether the SSL certificate can be trusted. If so, this is passed on to the web server.
- The web server then sends back a digitally signed confirmation to initiate an encrypted SSL session.
- Encrypted data is shared between the browser or server and the web server.
This process is also called an ‘SSL handshake’. Although it sounds like a long process, it actually takes only a few milliseconds.
When a website is secured by an SSL certificate, the abbreviation ‘HTTPS’ (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) is displayed in the URL. Without an SSL certificate, you will only see the letters HTTP (without the S for Security). A padlock icon is also displayed in the URL address bar. This indicates that the website is trustworthy and that users can visit the website with confidence.
