Choosing your domain name (web address)

Before you start searching for a suitable domain name to register, you should first figure out whether you need the name for a new or already existing site, or you want to protect your trademark or brand, or make a profit from selling the domain name later.

You should keep in mind that domain names cannot exceed 67 characters, including the top level part of the domain name (* TLD).

Although you can use alphanumeric characters and hyphens, domain names cannot begin or end with a hyphen. Spaces are not permitted as well.
