Question 1

How do I choose a good domain name?

Accepted Answer

Choosing the right domain name is one of the first key steps to launching your online business. Your domain name should be short, simple, unique and as relevant to your brand name as possible. You can also consider purchasing multiple versions of your domain to help make sure customers find you, such as pairing .com and .net or buying a common misspelling.

Question 2

What should I consider when deciding on a domain name?

Accepted Answer

There are countless domain names still available to choose from and register, including a wide array of top-level domain extensions. Aside from simple wording and easy-to-remember names, consider checking social media platforms for similarly available names and handles to build brand consistency. It’s also worth consulting a legal professional or trademark database to ensure your name is available for use.

Question 3

How long can a domain name be?

Accepted Answer

Technically speaking, your domain name label cannot exceed 63 characters. However, it’s important to remember that your domain name is where you’re sending users to find your website. It’s best to find a domain that’s easy to remember, to say, to type, or to print – generally shorter is better.

Question 4

Does it matter what top-level domain (TLD) I use?

Accepted Answer

Any top-level domain registered with Squarespace will display your website the same online. There are several options specific to your business type that can help your brand stand out online. For example, online stores could consider a .shop or personal websites could look into a .me for their domain.

Question 5
