How To Choose The Best Domain Name For Your Church Website
By Tony Thompson
Before you can choose a domain name for your church website
you need to know what one is right? Well, a domain name is the
address of the site, the address that gets typed into the
address bar when people want to go straight to your church
website. You can choose any domain name that is not already
taken quickly and easily. Not only do you have all of the options
as far as the beginning of the address you also can choose the
ending. For example you have probably seen .com, .new and
.org; these are just a few of the many different endings that you
can choose to tack onto your domain name. You can even have
more than one if you wish...this is good to do because
sometimes people will type on the incorrect extension. It also
protects you from squatters - people who buy variations of a
popular website to take advantage of that site's traffic. One
great place to buy domains for as little as $2 is
www.785domains.com
The domain name that you ultimately choose for your church
website should be short and easy to remember. You want to
choose a domain name that no one is going to forget and have
to look for, that is the only way that you can ensure that people
will keep coming to your site. This way when someone tells
another person, "Hey, this site is so great, you should check it
out..." the person that they are recommending the site to will
actually be able to remember the address until they get home to
their computer. That is powerful and it will bring in all kinds of
visitors to your church website. Ministry Web Design knows all of
these tips and tricks and we are ready to put them all to work
for you today.
That is not the only reason why the domain name of your
website should be short either. You also have to keep in mind
that you will probably be publishing some church materials now
and then and this domain name is going to be printed on them.
You do not want the domain name to take up half of the page
do you? Keeping it short and sweet is always the best way to
go.
Leave out hyphens, so many people make the mistake of using
them in their main domain names. It is far better, and easier, to
just let the words run together for your domain name. The
easier it is for the visitors to type the more people will actually
bother to visit. You would be surprised at how lazy people tent
o be. Besides, hyphens are just one more thing to remember.
However the use of hyphen can help for optimizing your site, but
not for you main domain name.
The key top a good domain name is keeping it short and simple.
Try to never let your domain name get above three words in
length. You are actually much better off if you stick to two words
but if you must have a third that is okay as long as it is a short
one. If you are having trouble coming up with a suitable domain
name Ministry Web Design can help you. We are here to make
this entire process as easy for you as humanly possible.
If your church has a very long name and you are not comfortable
shortening it for the domain name there is another solution.
Instead of using the name of the church why not use the name
of the town or city? Or even the name of your immediate
community in the town? This is a great way to integrate your
church into the community on a larger scale than before. Your
church website is gong to do wonders for the entire community
and all of the people in it.
