Businesses, organizations and individuals should be looking to select a domain name<\/a> which is easy to remember, it has been claimed.<\/p>\n

Thomas Darr\u00e9 Medard Frederiksen, chief operating officer at One.com, said this is possibly the most important point to consider when selecting a domain name, reports Easier.com.<\/p>\n

Any selection should be simple to remember, spell and communicate, he suggested.<\/p>\n

“A complicated domain name with alternative spellings, for example cars4u, will make it harder for prospective customers to remember and find in search engines,” Mr. Frederiksen said.<\/p>\n

“A domain<\/a> that is harder to find will often result in the web user clicking on competitor sites during the search, leading to a possible drop-off in traffic.”<\/p>\n

He claimed that less is more, meaning registrants should keep their domain names clear, simple and to the point.<\/p>\n

Under ICANN<\/a>‘s new generic top level domain name regime, businesses seeking a new web address are set to gain access to a wider range of suffix options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
