Domain Names

Don't get confused and think a domain name is technical - it is really just a sign post pointing people to your website - otherwise you would have to tell them to access 92.10.33.49 or some other string of code.

Clever domain names include a keyword, e.g. www.bournemouthmassage.co.uk

Or you can buy a domain name just to point to a specific page on your site, e.g. www.southbournefastandflat.info which is obviously much easier than telling them to go to http://www.fsk.org.uk/Events/ComingSoon/SouthbourneFastandFlat10K5KRun/tabid/328/Default.aspx

Domain names seems to be getting longer and more complicated but I advise my clients to use capital letters, colours, bold or italics to help customers read the domain name so it is easier to remember.
