Why you should not go for free subdomains?

I have seen many times that people send me their blogs with free sub-domains such as example.blogspot.com or example.wordpress.com. Free is not always the best option.

Why choosing a sub-domain is not a good decision?

When you are choosing a free sub domain from blogging services, you actually giving the full control of your content to those websites, which are proving free sub domains to you.


Must read : Why you should buy a custom domain

It is also not good for branding as no matter how much you promote it, it only help the main domain to become a brand.

What to do instead of choosing a free domain name?

You should always choose a custom domain name. As this give you full control over the domain name. You can even add your own subdomains.

It is also not costly as you can choose it on very low price for a year or 2 years or five years or 10 years.

Objectives and Goals of a Domain name:

When choosing a domain name it is also necessary that you should think about

• Why you want a domain?
• What is the main purpose?
• Who is the target Audience?
• What is the topic of the blog?
• What do you want to achieve
• What style and tone your site or blog carry?

Till now you have learned the following answers in Domain guide:

1. What is a domain name?
2. What is domain name structure?
3. What is domain name extension?
4. What are the top level domain name extensions (TLDs)?
5. Why you should not go for free sub domains?

Now it is the time to understand what factors to consider when choosing a domain name?

Remarkable tips to choose a domain name:

1) Always choose a unique domain name:

When you want to buy a domain name the very first thing is that you should consider choosing a unique domain name.

Choosing a unique domain name is really necessary ot make your blog a brand. If you want to market yourself like John Chow then you can choose a domain name mix of your first name and last name such as JohnChow.

It is not that bad to choose a domain name with your own name but if you are trying to build a blog or run an online business then choosing a domain name with your own name is not a good idea.

The very first step is that you should try to buy a domain name similar to your business name. You can do a domain research on Google or on domain registrar service to find out if the domain your are looking for available or already registered.

2) Brainstorming:

All one word domains have already been registered. So you might not be able to find one word domain name for your blog. In such a case you should use a mix of two or three words to find the best possible solution for your domain name.

3) Memorable : easy to type, easy to remember

The most common mistake which mostly people do when choosing a domain name is buying domain names with fancy and wrong words.

You should always think that if a common person can`t remember the words of a domain how can he/she type that domain.

Let me make it clear for you:

For example : If you want to buy techtricks.com, but you see that domain name is not available for purchase or domain is already registered, than you buy a domain name such as techtrikz.com.

Now you see techtriks.com and techtrikz.com both sound similar, but when you tell someone that you have a blog or site name techtrickz.com, they will always remember and open techtricks.com.

So unintentionally your mistake will lead the other site get more traffic.

Instead of that is you buy alltechtriks.com, this is really easy to type and easy to remember.

I am sure you do not want to do that mistake.

So it is always good that you try various combinations and buy a domain name which is easy to remember and easy to type.

4) Use Keywords 

It is always recommended that you should use the target keyword in domain also. If you want to start a blog or a micro niche blog than using keyword in domain is really helpful to rank higher as compare to those who are not using keywords in domain name.

5) First choice Always .Com

Have you thought for a second that when someone tells you that he has xyz site, you automatically put .com in the end of it to open it.

Now you know that .Com is the extension which is widely living in the minds of every common person.

Read more : How to get free .Com domain`

When you say a website the first thing which hit the mind is .Com.

Over 75% sites worldwide using .Com extension. It is always the most recommended Top level domain extension.

It makes the domain easy to remember.

But what is .Com is not available for your domain. In such case you should go for other TLDs or ccTLDs or gTLDs.

6) Brandable:

Domain name is your brand online. A brandable domain name is a domain which speaks for itself. It tells what the site is all about.

For example: Domain iOSCrunch com shows that it is related to iOS and its updates. It is also an easy to brand domain name.

You can even look at the top 100 brandable domain names shared by DailtTekk.

7) Short is better:

A short name is always easy to remember. But it is not easy to find short names, if that you case you can go for a mix of two or three words domain.

For example if you are looking for a domain name AskMe, but Askme is not available. So you can choose Wikiaskme.com

Tip:
Never use acronym as for a common person it is not easy to remember acronyms.

8) Avoid trademark issues:

The biggest fatal error is trademark issues because of domain name conflicts. When choosing a domain name it is always recommended that you should check trademark terms here to avoid any trademark issues.

Do you know that trademark issue can kill your website or blog and take down your online business?

For example: If you use Facebook in domain name, it is direct violation of Facebook and company can sue you.

9) Avoid hyphens or numbers

If you are using hyphens or numbers in your domain name that means you are clearly ignoring the 3rd factor which we have discussed in third domain guide. Which is Easy to remember, Easy to
type.

It is not easy for a common person to remember the use of hyphen and numbers.

For example if you tell a person that you have a domain name abc-xyz.com. People always type abcxyz and forget hyphen.

In case if you say that if you have a domain name abc2xyz, people will always type abctoxyz. So it is not easy to them what you want to say.

It always confuse users and misguide them to visit some other sites.

10) Trendy misconception:

I have seen many newbie bloggers and businesses fall for the latest trend domains, but they forget the fact that trends always change. So when the trend changes their domain becomes unattractive.

Writing evergreen content is important but choosing an evergreen domain name is mush more important than that.

11) Your Domain is you Best Friend or Worst Enemy

Do not make any mistake while choosing a domain name. Many peopel choose a domain without thinking professionally or without doing any research and after sometime they find that domain is  not that attractive or informational or a best representative of their business.

You cannot rename a domain, the only thing is to replace it and if you replace the domain all your efforts, time and money you spent on domain earlier will be lost.

12) What Social Network Tells?

In this domain name guide I also like to mention that when choosing a domain name you should also check it`s social influence of people. Always go fr the domain name which is easy to brand and can easily make it place on social networks. You can also use Knowem tool to check the brandability of a domain name on social networks.

You can easily check the availability of domain name by searching them on domain name registrar sites. If the domain is available then you can purchase it and if it is not available in any extension that you want then you can try using mix of keywords that you want to target.

Now let`s talk about Premium Domains.

Buying Premium Domain Name:

Premium domain name is usually known as the domain name with very high value. Premium domain names are already owned by domain registrar or some other companies because of high values of thes type of domains.

Companies and registrars sell Premium Domains on very high rate from thousands of dollars to millions.

There are the domains such as yatch.com, travel.com, beer.com, hotel.com, seo.com etc. has been sold for millions of dollars because of their easy to brand nature and higher values.

How to buy a premium domain name?

As I have said premium domain names are under the ownership of registrars or companies which sell these domains on very high rates.

Buy domain using Domain Auction services:

The very first thing you can do to buy a premium domain name is to search on domain registrar to find out if the domain is available with the domain registrar or not. If it says that domain is available then you can buy it.

Otherwise, you can check the domain name by entering it in web browser and it will displays a page from the seller of that domain. You can contact them to buy that domain or to know the price.

You can even look the premium domain names in the domain auction services like Sedo, Namejet and Godaddy Auction.

You can go there, make the deal and buy domain.

Buy domain using Whois search:

What if the premium domain you are looking for not on sale but only reserved by the owner? How can you buy domain in that case?

In this case you can check the contact details of the owner running Whois search. In many cases you will find the information such as phone number, email id and address. You can contact them to find out if the domain is available for sale and make your offer.

Buy Domain using domain broker service:

You can even use the service of a domain broker to find the best premium domain on best possible rates for you.

Premium Check before you buy a domain:

I call it premium check because it shows that how good a domain is for you. You can check the domain seller history, his social profiles and how trust-able that person is.

These things will help you to negotiate and make your deal.

Also check what content hs been published on the domain if the domain was used earlier. Make sure that there is no adult history of that domain name. You can take help of Archive.org or use cognitive SEO site explorer 

You should also check the availability of social profiles using Knownem.com. It is not good to buy a domain name if social profiles of that domain are already taken.

How to close the deal an buy premium domain:

Buying a premium domain is not an overnight process. It takes time as seller and buyer never reach on the common price in one go. There can be a long negotiation talk.

Also you have to do all history check to make sure you are not doing any mistake.

Get the written agreement to legally bind the terms. You can use Escrow to complete the deal.

Here's what Dmitriy Tsytrosh, SEO expert in Rush Analytics, says about it:

Launching a new business takes some guts.

 

Anyone who has the passion, drive and determination to take an idea and put it to the market as a business in a bid to earn money needs to be applauded.

 

Unfortunately, they also have a lot on their plate.

More than half of new businesses don’t make it past the first five years, so mere survival is an achievement in the beginning.

It’s crucial, therefore, that you get everything just right when you start. Your web presence is crucial to this.

 

Your footprint on the world wide web is how you can let people know who you are and what you do. It is, in one package, a showcasing tool, a signposting device and a vital marketing resource.

The positive for your business is that starting from scratch allows you to do everything properly – too many people rush in and make mistakes that they then must spend time reversing.

 

You can hit the ground running if you consider the following:

What do you want your site to do?

Here’s a question that not enough people ask at the very start.

• Do you want your site to be a basic page showing customers what you do and telling them how to contact you?
• Or, do you need an element of e-commerce so that you can accept orders?

Decide on this before you start to select and build the right site with this in mind.

Choose a domain

Your domain name is important. The domain name is the name that forms your web address, and you need it to be as easy as possible for your customers to access. This needs to be registered.

• How to choose a domain name

Build your site

This bit might sound daunting, especially if you’re not a tech expert.

However, you have two options that can save you some hassle here. Either head to a provider that offers templates that you can lift ‘off the peg’ and play with (someone such as WordPress, for example).

Your early decision-making comes in handy.

You need to select a site that addresses all of your needs. If you’re not happy with the sort of site you can get here, you can enlist a freelance expert to build it to your demands.

This will be more money but could be worth it if you have a specific set of demands.

Choose a host

Your website needs to be hosted.

Businesses need to consider the right website hosting package to ensure their website can handle the traffic it attracts.

Hosting takes your site and puts it in a place that makes it accessible to web users.

Your site builder might do this for you, or you can opt for someone different. Next, you need to check the bandwidth and server space you are getting.

A start-up is unlikely to attract great volumes straight away, but allow yourself scope for growth.

It would be a shame for this to keep your progress in check.

Get some content on there

Once you've got a site and it has a place on the net, it's time to populate it with content.

First, you need to explain what you do, who you are and what you sell.

It will not only catch the buyer's attention– and help them to make their purchases – but it should also catch the eye of Google so that you crop up on searches.  

Entrepreneur offers a handy nine-point checklist that is helpful when considering how you should write sales copy.

You might also want to speak to an SEO expert to ensure that the copy you write will help you to get noticed on Google.

Update and maintain

Once you’ve done all of that, you’re up and running.

You can then use social media and email and text marketing campaigns to bring people to your site so that you can start earning money.

First, of course, you need to make sure you update and maintain your information on the site.

As a startup, it’s important to know what you need and not be afraid to get expert support – especially in building and hosting your page.

Get this right, and you’ll have a vital part of your business established.

Two Niches Insufficiently Covered Online What are the most successful niches online today? If your answers were "money, health, love", you are probably right.

These three are often called the 'holy trinity' of online publishing, topics that will always be of interest to a large mass of potential readers.

Other people are reading: Anime Streaming webSites

"Money" covers everything from making money online to building a more efficient online marketing campaign and building a webshop.

Everything between food, fitness, mental health, and supplements fit under the large umbrella of "Health", and "Love" can cover everything from dating advice to self-improvement.

Between these three, there are still many smaller niches that can be covered with a decent success.

But there are two niches that, unfortunately, don't get the attention they need, despite playing an important role in our everyday lives - and the future.

Streaming

Over the years, Netflix has become a true game-changer in the streaming industry. From a DVD rental company, it has successfully transitioned to a streaming media provider, went global, and has become one of the most generous (and pretty prolific) content creator in the digital age (just look at its $8 billion budget set aside for original content creation this year).

In the last couple of years, Netflix has found several "followers", companies that see streaming as the future of television and have launched (or plan to launch) their own takes on the business.

Unfortunately, steaming content is still pretty much only covered by the "traditional" publications that cover television and movies.

Streaming has a business model that is completely different from "traditional" media. It's not about ratings (in the case of series) and box office performance (in the case of the movies) but about the number of subscribers.

When you watch a Netflix series, you don't simply tune in and bear with the occasional ad breaks - you pay for a whole package and that's what you get.

This different approach to media makes streaming a completely different business altogether that would require a more detailed and dedicated approach - and it's covered by a surprisingly low number of online publications.

Science-based medicine

An ever-increasing number of people have chosen to turn away from science-based medicine lately, choosing to believe in false claims and quackery instead.

This is, in part, the fault of the media (both online and IRL), or rather its failure to translate the medical slang into a language that's easy to understand.

And while there are a few online publications meant to clear a few things up and to bust a lot of myths, there are too few of them to actually make a difference. And this should change.

Lost between all the fake news and wild health claims, people have very few sources to turn to for accurate and understandable information.

The "health" niche above is also plagued by wild claims, irrelevant studies, and the constant influx of advertising funds from companies promoting products with unproven health benefits (if any).

A better coverage could educate people to be less credulous, clear up a few confusions and misconceptions, and perhaps lead to better understanding of health as a whole

The creative blog name is the need of every online business these days. A creative blog name not only attracts readers to your blog but also leave a unique impression in their minds. When a reader visit on your blog the very first thing he/she notice is your blog name. Your blog name should express what your blog is all about.

To start a blog, it is essential to choose a few things such as;

• Niche
• Domain name
• Hosting
• Theme
• Email marketing service etc.

I have already shared how you should choose a domain name.

How to Choose a Creative Blog Name?: eAskme

Other people are reading: Buy Web hosting with perfect domain name

You should also remember that the domain name should be similar to your blog name. A website with the different blog name and domain name can confuse the visitor.

When choosing a creative blog name, you should focus on a few important things such as;

• Include the main keyword in the blog name
• Choose a brandable blog name
• Choose a blog name which is easy to read and easy to remember
• Choose a blog name that tells what your blog is all about, or it’s niche.

Whenever you choose a domain name or blog name, always include the main keyword or niche in your blog name. This will not only tell the visitor what is they can find on your blog but also help in the branding of your blog. It is suitable for SEO.

If you are a newbie, then you may want to start a blog on your name.

If you think the same then read this;

Should you use your name as a blog name?

John Chow has said many that choosing his name as the domain was his biggest mistake. Still, his blog is highly prevalent. It is easy to become an influencer if your blog offers quality content which is engaging.  People find the blog as a way to connect with the author.

But, this never works for all.

I have started the blog with name eAskme.com, not as Gauravkumar.com or gauravkumar.org. I believe that a blog is not just a personal space but a professional place. It is the place to turn your blog into a full-time profession.  eAskme is a professional place with a personal touch.

It is not easy to give a personal name a professional flavor.

Newbie’s do not want to increase their struggle, so it is a wise choice to stick with a creative blog name rather than a personal blog name.

Keyword rich vs. brandable blog name: Which is the best?

You may find it difficult to choose between keyword rich blog name and brandable blog name. There was a time when keyword stuffing and keyword in domain name help you the insignificant way to boost seo Ranking. People have tricked Google with this strategy.

But, Google is smart now.

Google algorithms are strict and keep an eye on the use of the keyword in blog name or domain name.

Every blogger wants to have a brandable domain name. Brandable blog name helps you easily grab attention.

To help you quickly understand let’s take an example.

For example; if you choose a domain name such as bestknivestosell.com to give an impression that the site is about selling knives or an affiliate site promoting knives. Readers are aware of what they are looking at, so it is not easy for you to trick them.

Your job is to build trust. These days it is not easy to find a domain like eAskme.com, Google.com, etc. You can choose a domain name like kniveszeal.com or easyknives.com. These domains are memorable and brandable. People find it easy to visit the blog with easy domain names.

I am not saying that you should not include the keyword in domain name, but at the same time, you should make sure that it increases the value of your blog. There is no doubt that you can rank for keywords without using the keyword in domain name. eAskme.com is the live example of this.

To improve SERP, you need to create engaging and optimized content. The quality content and engagement on your blog matters a lot to rank in search results.

There is no need to punish your blog name with unnecessary use of the keyword.

No matter how famous or brandable domain name you have if the content is not relevant then your posts will never rank for any keyword.

How to find a creative blog name:

You already know why it is essential to choose a brandable domain name. It is the time to understand how to find a catchy blog name.

Include Call to Action:

All to action helps your blog to grow quickly. Including verbs or call to action to your blog help readers quickly connect with your blog. It is a most useful and creative way to choose a brandable blog name.

You can use words like Thrive, Go, bites, Pro, Shout, etc. to add a call to action to your blog name.


No matter which verb you use to make sure it is compelling and engaging. It should hit the readers mind and stay there for long.

Target your readers:

Readers coming to your blog want to find some relevant information. Your blog name should describe what your blog is all about. This is an easy way to build trust.

Always use some trendy words related to your blog niche. Don’t just blindly follow other blogs. Use your brain when doing research.

A relevant domain and blog name help readers quickly find your blog whenever they need something relevant.

Learn from Competition:

You should learn from your competitors but they same time do not blindly follow them. You should target the blog relevant to your blog niche and analyze the names of their blogs.

You will get some inspiration but do not go for the same blog name they are using.

Some people find it easy to use jargons or confusing words.

My Advice: Never use confusing words or jargons as most of the world can never understand idioms.
Use inspiration, do research and find the blog name which can easily connect with people.

Use blog name with good search volume:

This is where most of the people fail.

When choosing a domain name or blog name, you should do research. Use keywords like ubersuggest to find domain name suggestions and then use keyword planner to find about the search volume.

I advise you to stick with blog name with a good number of search and low competition.

You can also use vowels, suffixes, and prefixes to create a catchy blog name.

Create flowing blog name:

A creative blog name is that which flows in the mind of the reader.

Now you may ask what the flowing domain name is.

According to me a blog name without stop words is a flowing blog name.

These types of domain names are easy to remember.

For example; effectiveblogging, Shoutmeblogging, dedicatedblogger, etc.

Use can also use various other suggestion tools to generate valuable blog name such as;

• Ubersuggest

When choosing a blog name, you should also make sure that the similar domain name is available for you. You can use tools like whois or instantdomainsearch to check if the domain name is available or not.

Remember: Blogging is not just about writing it is about passion and professionalism. Choose blog name, domain name, web hosting, a premium theme, and every plugin wisely.

Always researches before you make the final decision? Spend at least one or two days, write down every option and choose only what satisfy you the most.

The blog name is not something that you can change every day. If you do it all the reputation that you have gained with the old name will be destroyed. So choose the blog name for the long run, and it should be a permanent decision.

Final Words:

Creative blog name will help your blog to grab the attention quickly. But, quality content is what makes the readers come to your blog again and again. You can only boost subscriber list when your content is engaging, and you include the call to action at the end of each post. Choosing a creative blog name can change your blogging life.

Quality is the king now and always.

These domain names are websites that will contain files, like images, documents, HTML, etc. Then the role of web hosting comes in. It is a service provided by various companies that rent out their servers to store your website and its contents and connectivity so others can access your website.

There are different types of hosting services like Shared, Virtual Private Network (VPN), Cloud Hosting, and Dedicated. If you are relatively new and have a low traffic, go for a shared server where various other sites are paired with the same server. If you have high traffic and want great control, you must opt for a dedicated server that will also be costlier. Given your cost and the requirement, you choose the required server.
