   I would also like to ask about the alias. I have a domain for my own portfolio as myname.tld. I have wordpress on the blog subdomain and I write about everything that interests me. Does it make any sense to buy a second domain with a better name for what I’m blogging about and use it as an alias? I would treat it with a 301 redirect because of the duplication. But I’m more interested in whether a second domain as an alias can help in SEO?

     There is no guarantee that it will be better for SEO to use an alias domain to point to your main domain. You would need to manually test to see if that would work for you if you wanted to use it but we recommend most sites focus on one domain rather than trying to have multiple domains point to one site.

   I am very much interested in this topic of choosing a right domain.
   My points:
   1. You said ‘buybooksonline.com’ is not brandable as ‘Amazon.com’. But you said we should include keywords in domain whereas ‘Amazon’ does not contain any key words.

   2. Brandable domain is hard to rank with in the beginning while niche related domain (the one that contains keywords) are easily get traction.

   3. One can just combine keywords with his brand name and come up with a brandable domain with keyword.

     1. Amazon had specific goals with its domain name and it was set up in a different SEO landscape than current sites.
     2. Not always, you would still need to rely on users looking at your site which is why a brandable domain name normally ranks better in our experience
     3. You can certainly do that, there is nothing wrong with trying that.

   I’ve heard that using the .com extension is popular because it’s well-known. However, other extensions are good too. The choice of extension depends on the type of website you want. For instance, .com is great for commercial sites, .org for non-profits, and .biz for business. Your site’s purpose determines the best extension.

   It’s important to note, as the author mentioned, that Google doesn’t rank a site based on its extension or including keywords in the domain. Instead, Google values quality content that helps users. That’s just my little opinion. Thanks!

     We still recommend using .com as the extension for any site when possible

   Thank you very much for detailed and useful comments, I have a question please in regards to choosing my domain name… does it make a difference in SEO if my keyword(s) is at the beginning or the end of my domain name? does it make any difference with SEO algorithms?

   Responder

   • WPBeginner Support

     The order of your keyword would not make a difference.

   This is a great roundup of reminders, thank you! One thing I would also suggest, is to look carefully at “hidden words” inside your domain name, that you may have not thought of, that are spelled inside the domain. Some can actually be embarrassing.

    Why buy a domain at a site like godaddy, etc when you get a free domain when you start from any of the site builders?

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      It’s a personal preference question and sometimes you can get renewal deals or offers from different registrars

    Thanks for these tips. Is it possible to start working on developing your site BEFORE selecting the domain name? I want to make sure I pick the right name so I’m giving it some time to percolate in my brain before making a decision, but I’d like to go ahead and get started on designing my site. Is this possible? Most options I see force you to select the domain name before moving forward.

    Also, just FYI, you have a typo in number 10

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      That would normally be determined by your theme’s styling, if you reach out to your theme’s support they should be able to let you know if there is an option to remove that.

    I just finished my PhD and have looked at various grad students, postdocs and academics websites and was wondering if simply using your name as domain name was a good idea? Provided of course that you remove hyphens, accents, etc.

    This article is very helpful. Thank You. Now I understand how to pick a domain name. But, unfortunately, every short two-word domain name in a .com I have thought of for my niche is already taken. And the ones I thought of that are available I don’t like. I will keep racking my brain until I figure it out!

    if my name.com has gone is using .blog, .site or .online a good alternative? Like to know how and if they would rank well

    Responder

29. JaDonnia B.

    Is a .net domain equally as detrimental to SEO? The .com sites are very limited. Some registrars will provide suggestions when the chosen name is already taken. What then? Hyphens, underscores, and symbols are suggested as options.

    So, wpbeginner.com was made based on its niche right, which is Wordpress. SO if this website posts about Blogger then it will be untrusted by the readers. That’s what you mean?

    Responder

      Hey Lieven,

      You will have to inform users whether it has digits or alphabate. Like whether its two or 2 in your domain name.

    Thanks to your recommendation for Siteground (I made sure I used your link), I just finished moving my blog to their cloud hosting. I’m so glad I’m now with them.

    I also got my free domain name and I’m happy I followed most of your tips here. It was actually very difficult to find a short but brandable domain name with keywords.

    By the way, for those thinking of getting a free domain with Siteground, you should specify a new domain during initial signup. My mistake was I specified my existing blog during signup and I could no longer find a way to get the free domain.

    I then contacted support and they made an exception and registered a new domain for me anyway… nice!

    By the way, is the domain name in Siteground free for life as long as you stay with them, or only for a year?

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Jay,

      The domain is free as long as you host your site with SiteGround. However, if you decide to move your site to a different host in the future, then you can transfer your domain registration.
