When you think about starting a blog or a website, one of the very first and important tasks is finding the perfect domain name.

Finding a domain name can be a tedious process. This is a known fact that the number of online businesses is on an increase which makes it pretty difficult to find a name that is short, meaningful and easy to remember.

I faced this similar problem when I started this blog, there were tons of suggestions and names but on several occasions, the names that I liked were already taken or were available at a much higher cost (Premium domains) and getting a premium name was not possible as I was just starting out and had a fixed budget.

And to the rescue came the domain name generators. These tools made the task so much easier for me by providing countless name suggestions out of which I was able to mix and match and create this domain name.

Now before we go ahead pick a domain name there are a few things to keep in mind.

Try to get the .com extension first and if it is not available then go for other relevant extensions. Find a domain name that is easy to remember. Avoid the use of hyphens and numbers. Stay away from copyright infringement. Check if the name is available on top social media platforms

We have written a detailed guide on this – How to come up with great domain names
