Website Name ?



Naming your site after your domain may seem obvious to some people, but you'll be surprised to learn that not every website is named after the domain name even when the webmaster owns that domain name.

Naming a site after its domain name is important, for the simple reason that when people think of your website, they'll think of it by name.

If your name is also your URL, they'll automatically know where to go. For example, when people think of the gardening website , they don't have to wonder what URL to type into their browser to get there.

The name of the site is also the URL www.thegardeningwebsite.co.uk. Likewise it may be something about the area you are in or the service that you offer eg.www.peakdistrictonline.co.uk which pretty much explains what is is and what it does in the name.Imagine if your business (or website) is called "SMITHS", but somebody else holds that domain name. Instead, you have some obscure domain name called, say, "something.com". What happens when your customers, recalling that SMITHS has a product they want, type "www.SMITHS.com"?

They'll wind up at your competitor's website.

A lost sale down the tubes.

In the modern world of the Internet, where people automatically turn to the Web for information, it pays to have a domain name that reflects your site or business. There are just lesser things for your customers or visitors to remember. Think about it, you don't seriously think that they'll try to memorise an unrelated URL just because you want them to, do you? The only people who'll memorise it are you and your competitors who want to compare your prices.
