For some tips for finding the best business domain name first read our comprehensive guide for how to choose a domain name that includes 25 rules for choosing a domain name. Business domain names should definitely adhere to almost all of these 25 rules – in some cases it is even more important than a domain name for personal use.
Ok, now that you have read the 25 rules here are a couple more things that you should keep in mind before choosing a domain name for your business:
Choose the Legal Name of Your Business Wisely
If you are just starting your own business and haven’t yet chosen a legal name for your business then before you incorporate or form an LLC (we recommend MyCorporation.com – from the makers of QuickBooks) first check to make sure that any potential names for your business are available to register as a domain name.
For example, if you have a list of potential business names and only one of the 3 potential names has a domain name available to register then you should probably lean towards registering that domain name for your business and choosing that corresponding legal name for your business.
Keep Your Customer Base in Mind
When choosing domain names for a business many owners do not think long term in regards to their customer base. If you own a local catering business in Portland and all of your customers are in Portland and you have no aspirations at all for expanding outside of Portland then a domain name like PortlandCatering.com could be an awesome choice.
However, if you are thinking some day you might like to expand outside of Portland then maybe you should plan for this eventuality from the start and purchase a domain name like OregonCatering.com or maybe a name that is not region specific like ClassyCatering.com or JonesCatering.com.
On the other hand, you need to balance the desire for expansion with the desire to appeal directly to your niche. Make sure you don’t aim for too broad of a customer base or you may end up shortcutting yourself. Define your customer base and target market very clearly ahead of time and then choose a business domain name that would appeal to that niche.
Balance Clever with Professional
By all means be creative when choosing your business domain name. After all, our domain name tools are designed to stimulate your creativity and give you a ton of different high quality choices of domain names for your business. That being said, balance your creative juices with a desire to make sure your business maintains a professional image.
Some businesses may be able to lean a little more towards the creative side of things (i.e. a website design firm, a graphics designer, any type of business where creativity is a highly prized competitive advantage) where other types of industries should definitely lean more towards accentuating their professionalism rather than their creativity (i.e. an accounting firm, a law firm, a financial advisor, etc.).
