It\u2019s common to select multiple domain names if you are trying to reach multiple niche markets.<\/p>\n<p>Pick something that is either catchy or easy to remember. For example, the website &#8220;FunkyPigeon&#8221; did both. They created a memorable domain name that is also short and easy to remember. Stay clear of domain names that seem similar to your competitors. Having your business name within your domain name is a good idea, but failing that, you should try to add some reference to your trade.<\/p>\n<p>Make your domain name easy to spell, and easy to say aloud so that people can speak about your domain name to their friends.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, it\u2019s hard to find a good two word website name anymore.
