One thing you should make sure of is that you get a .com domain. Many people are tempted to take a .net as long as they get the domain name they desire, but everyone remembers .com and if your competitor has the .com address he will get your intended web traffic.

 

Try to get your company name because this will be the easiest to remember. If your full company name is not available try to find an easy to remember domain instead. Let’s assume your company name is Smith & Smith Accountants. If you search you will see that www.smithandsmithaccountants.com is available, however it is very long. Let’s see if we can find any shorter combination or words that are available. The only shorter combination that is available is www.smithsmithcpas.com. Once you find a domain that suites your needs simply press the “control” and “s” keys at the same time and it will automatically save that domain name to your saved searches list.

 

I would reserve both domain names listed above. I would use the shorter name for my main page and email addresses and use the longer version to redirect traffic to the main site.
