    Long or short domain name ??

    As u known, domain names can b of any length up to 67 chars. U don't hav a domain name like ppo.com when wat u mean is PangPuiOng.com.......

    Some argue tat shorter domain names r easier to remember, easier to type n far less susceptible to mistakes - for eg, "getit.com" is easier to remember and less prone to typing error than "imthemostpowerfulpeople.com"...

    Others argue that a longer domain name is usually easier in memory - for eg, "ilmmh.com" is a sequence of unrelated letters that is difficult to remember and type correctly,if we expand it to "ILoveMyMumHair.com", we are more likely to remember the domain name....

    Which would I go for?
    I'd go for the shorter name if I can get a meaningful one...

    you must know what the purpose of your website. if for personal, short domain is better for you. but if for commercial website, longer domain is more prefered but don't choose too long la. long long a little is ok.

    Hello goolie,

    Personally, what I think length of the domain name and TLD does not matter but it is more related to marketing and content you have on the domain name to automatically get the visitors
    Secondly, short domains are preffered but they are usually taken & it is difficult to find a good short name to register. The only option left is to register it on a TLD that you never decided or just take a long name
    Large domains too have there advantges, user will use longer words to receive more search results in Google. If a word that someone is looking for is a part of a URL, it makes the page much more relevant.

    Please let me know in case you have any more queries, I will be glad to assist you

    Thank you.
