]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most important decisions in establishing an online presence is choosing a <strong>domain name</strong>. The right domain name for your website is important, for both your target audience and search engines. Ignore the trends and fads of the day and choose a name that makes sense for your business or subject matter now and will still make sense 10 years from now. Here are 10 tips to help you make a good domain name purchase.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>1. Do your homework</h2>
<p>A little bit of research can go a long way when buying a domain name. Find similar sites and check out your competitors’ domain names using a site like Compete.com. Browse available domains by keyword or domain name using Media Temple’s domain name search tool.</p>
<p>Use http://dnpric.es/ to see when a domain was last sold, for how much, and the web hosting broker. A popular domain may have more public resales. You can search by keyword, which helps provide the popularity of certain words in domain names.</p>
<h2>2. Buy domains that are easy to type and remember</h2>
<p>Even if you plan on optimizing the site for search engines, you still want a domain name that people can remember and type. Avoid odd spellings of words, multiple hyphens or other characters, numbers and so forth. Anyone hearing your name should know how to type it without you having to say things such as “the number 5” and “dash-dash.”</p>
<p>You should also avoid words that have more than one spelling if your visitors are likely to be confused and mistype the name. Alternately, you can buy both versions of the name and direct visitors from the one you like less to the preferred name. While you do want a short name (see below), don’t go for something so cryptic that people have a hard time remembering it. Word of mouth is a powerful marketing tool and you want to make it easy for people to tell their friends about your site.</p>
<h2>3. Avoid slang terms</h2>
<p>Try to avoid slang terms and instead pick a name that will still be meaningful in 10 years. This will also help your name be understood and remembered by non-native speakers. Whether or not you intend to do business internationally, this can help with your local audience as well.</p>
<h2>4. Buy a domain that’s shorter rather than longer</h2>
<p>The longer your domain name is, the harder it is for people to remember it and the more chance you have of someone misspelling one of the words. Most good single word domain names are long gone, but you can still avoid long domain names by getting a little creative. If you have a single word you really like that is not available, try adding an adjective or verb in front of it and seeing if those variations are available. Think of your domain name as part of your brand, and make sure it matches how you want people to think of you.</p>
<h2>5. Stick with .com if you can</h2>
<p>Most people assume a domain name ends in .com so if you buy a domain name with one of the other extensions (.net, .info, .org, etc.), you’ll have some extra work to get people to remember that your site has a different extension. Don’t automatically assume you should only buy domains with .com, though. Many sites have done quite well with other extensions. (Look at us! we <a href="http://www.merahost.org">merahost.org</a> , <a href="http://www.merahost.net" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">merahost.net</a> , <a href="http://www.merahost.in" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">merahost.in</a> &amp; <a href="http://mera.host" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">mera.host</a> but no .com )</p>
<h2>6. Don’t buy trademarked domains</h2>
<p>If your purpose in buying a trademarked term as a domain name is to try to confuse people, you’re opening yourself up to having a complaint filed against you and having to give up the domain name. Even if you’re not trying to create confusion, you’re likely to face some legal challenges by buying trademarked terms in your domain name. To be safe, you can search for U.S. trademarks at www.uspto.gov and make sure no one owns a trademark on the name you are considering.</p>
<h2>7. Don’t buy a domain name that’s too similar to an existing site</h2>
<p>Even if the term isn’t trademarked, don’t buy domains that are just a variation of another domain name. This means avoiding plurals if the singular is taken (mywebsite.net vs. mywebsites.net), hyphenating a phrase (my-website.net), or adding “its” or some other preposition (itsmywebsite.net). Alternately, you might consider buying these variations yourself and set them up so that if someone types one of the variations, they are redirected to your main site.</p>
<h2>8. Hyphens are a mixed bag</h2>
<p>Using hyphens to separate words in a domain name makes it easier to read and makes it somewhat easier for search engines to recognize the individual words. However, people often forget about the hyphens when they type domain names. If you do use hyphens in your name, don’t buy a domain with more than three hyphens. It’s just too messy.</p>
<h2>9. Avoid numbers</h2>
<p>Avoid having numbers in your domain name. People can get confused about whether the numbers is a digit (4) or a word (four or for). If you want a number in your domain name because there’s a number in your company name, buy both versions (digit and word) and redirect one to the other. Be especially wary about using the number “0” in a domain name as people may see it as the letter “O.”</p>
<h2>10. Check availability on social media sites</h2>
<p>When you have a name picked out, go see if that word or phrase is available on social media sites like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Google+, and Tumblr. Even if you don’t plan on using social media right away, you’ll want to have the option when you’re ready, and it’s easiest if you can use the same phrase on each site.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>About Domain Name</h2>
<p>Every day thousands of websites are launched on the online world. And each of them is offered under a unique domain name. Statistics show that most of such sites are related to business.</p>
<p>To open a business is similar to build a house. Before you start building, of course you have to lay the firm foundation for it. Only that house will be safe, the storeys of which have been constructed on the quality foundation, won’t it? So, don’t forget that a good domain name is a high quality base, in other word a successful start-up for your business.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But in fact, not everybody take this moment into account. Some people consider that if a domain name they have chosen doesn’t fit their needs there won’t be any problem with buying another one. If you also think in the same way, you are mistaken. As firstly, visitors and clients remember your website under the domain name you have chosen first, and when you change it they can be confused. And secondly, there is no guarantee that for the second time you’ll be able to find the very domain name that you need for your business.</p>
<h2><a href="https://www.merahost.org/blog/3-major-mistake-while-choosing-domain-name">3 Major Mistake While Choosing Domain Name</a></h2>
<p>Because every day hundreds of domains are bought, sold and traded online. So, to choose the right domain name you should take the following tips into consideration:</p>
<h3>A domain name should be simple and easily-remembered</h3>
<p>It’s better to choose a short, simple name that is suitable for your company profile. But what can you do if all the optimum short domains are in use? No problem. In this case you can choose an easily-remembered word or word combination. In fact, not shortness, but simplicity and memorization are more important criteria to stamp your website’s address on the memory of the visitors and clients. The main thing is that it will be easily remembered. Short catchy words will do the trick.</p>
<h3>Avoid hyphens, digits, etc. as possible as you can</h3>
<p>Every company desires to make a deep impression as a professional business suite. From this point of view a domain name plays an important role. Because it introduces and represents your company profile everywhere on the online world, it must look professional. If you use hyphens, various digits or other signs in the name of website, you can even lose your potential clients because of impression they get at first sight. As most of them will consider that it’s not a serious and reputable company.</p>
<p>In other word, except letters, use various signs only when it’s just necessary, or you cannot find another alternative variant.</p>
<h3>The domain name should correspond with the company profile</h3>
<p>The third important criterion in choosing domain name is to take into account the features of the product or service you offer. The more the domain name fits your business profile, the more you have a chance to be popular to the online market.</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Domain Hack the “trick” for a domain hack is to turn the top level domain, often a country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) into a part of the desired brand name, or generic term or phrase. And, following wikipedia, “hacking”, as it is used here, corresponds to uses in programming, meaning “clever coding (tricks)”, but surely not to a meaning like “breaking in”.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Quoting wikipedia:</p>
<blockquote><p>“A domain hack is a domain name that suggests a word, phrase, or name when concatenating two or more adjacent levels of that domain. […] Domain hacks offer the ability to produce short domain names. This makes them potentially valuable as redirectors, pastebins, base domains from which to delegate subdomains and URL shortening services.”</p></blockquote>
<h2>Brands That Use a Domain Hack</h2>
<p>Examples for well-known brands/companies which acquired and actively use domain hacks are:<br />
<a class="boxer" href="https://www.merahost.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/brands-300x187.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="wp-image-86 aligncenter" src="https://www.merahost.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/brands-300x187-300x187.jpg" alt="brands-300x187" width="287" height="178" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Instagram" href="http://instagr.am" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">instagr.am</a></li>
<li><a title="Youtube" href="http://youtu.be" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">youtu.be</a></li>
<li><a title="Bing" href="http://bi.ng" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">bi.ng</a></li>
<li><a title="Time Magazine" href="http://ti.me" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">ti.me</a></li>
<li><a title="Pep.si" href="http://pep.si" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">pep.si</a></li>
<li><a title="Redd.it" href="http://redd.it" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">redd.it</a></li>
<li><a title="So.cl" href="http://so.cl" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">so.cl</a> (run by Microsoft)</li>
</ul>
<div>and many others. While all of the aforementioned companies also hold the corresponding .com names (i.e., instagram.com, youtube.com, etc.), it is worth mentioning that Microsoft redirects socl.com to the “hacked” version so.cl, thus favoring the latter.</div>
<p>Other well-known examples are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Blo.gs" href="http://blo.gs" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">blo.gs</a> (first acquired by Yahoo, later by Automattic)</li>
<li><a title="Inter.net Germany GmbH" href="http://inter.net" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">inter.net</a> (a German Internet Service Provider. Note that this company does not own the corresponding .com domain internet.com)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Domain Hacks for URL Shortening Services</h2>
<p>Companies that build and offer URL shortening services are for instance:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Bitly" href="http://bit.ly" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">bit.ly</a>, which is a “brandable” domain hack, as “bitly” is an invented word that (at the time of writing) can not be found in a dictionary</li>
<li><a title="Po.st" href="http://po.st" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">po.st</a></li>
<li><a title="Awe.sm" href="http://awe.sm" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">awe.sm</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Notice that the latter two (po.st and awe.sm) build entirely on the domain hacks, that is they do not hold their corresponding .com names. For all three companies, URL shorteners are a part of their brand building strategies offered to business customers, targeting particularly the social media like Facebook, Twitter, etc.</p>
<h2>“Crunching” the Word for a Short Domain Hack</h2>
<p>Obviously, “awe.sm” corresponds to a “crunched” version of the word “awesome” (“crunching” here refers to shortening or condensing the word by leaving out letters, preferably those which would be most insignificant during the reading and perception process. Often, these are some or even all vowels of the word). There is more than one way to “hack” the word “awesome”, especially when including “crunched” versions of the word. On a side note, awes.me redirects to bitly.com (status quo at the time of writing). Of course, “awes.me” can also be read as “(it) awes me”.</p>
<p>“Letter crunching” often plays an important role when finding a good short company name or a domain hack: well-known examples include<br />
<a class="boxer" href="https://www.merahost.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/crunched-names-for-brands-300x221.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-87 aligncenter" src="https://www.merahost.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/crunched-names-for-brands-300x221-300x221.jpg" alt="crunched-names-for-brands-300x221" width="169" height="125" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Dlvr.it" href="http://dlvr.it" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">dlvr.it</a></li>
<li><a title="Flic.kr" href="http://flic.kr" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">flic.kr</a>, which redirects to flickr.com</li>
</ul>
<div>
<p>Domain hacks are a good way to build a URL shortener for a brand, and often “crunched” versions resembling the original brand name are used. For example:</p>
</div>
<ul>
<li>The New York Times (nytimes.com) has <a title="NYTi.ms" href="http://nyti.ms" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">nyti.ms</a> as URL shortener, using the services of bit.ly</li>
<li>Techcrunch.com has <a title="Tcrn.ch" href="http://tcrn.ch" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">tcrn.ch</a> as URL shortener, using the services of bit.ly (before, they had used awe.sm)</li>
<li>Google.com has its own URL shortener at <a title="Goo.gl" href="http://goo.gl" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">goo.gl</a> (as well as at <a title="G.co" href="http://g.co" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">g.co</a>)</li>
<li>Facebook.com has <a title="Fb.me" href="http://fb.me" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">fb.me</a> as a URL shortener, and another one, on.fb.me, has been integrated into bit.ly accounts</li>
</ul>
<p>Crunching is not always used, for example orange.com runs its own URL shortener at <a title="Oran.ge" href="http://oran.ge" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">oran.ge</a>.</p>
<p>Other Ways to a Short Domain Name</p>
<p>Of course domain hacks are not the only way to achieve a short name resembling a brand. Sometimes the .co domain corresponding to a .com company or brand domain is used, or the .co domain of a “crunched” version of the brand. In an extreme case, the original brand is reduced to only one letter:</p>
<ul>
<li>twitter.com: <a title="T.co" href="http://t.co" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">t.co</a></li>
<li>amazon.com: <a title="A.co" href="http://a.co" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">a.co</a></li>
<li>google.com: <a title="G.co" href="http://g.co" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">g.co</a></li>
</ul>
<p>All three domains are used as URL shorteners by the respective companies.</p>
<h2>Generic Domain Hacks and Domain Hacks Expressing Phrases</h2>
<p>Besides brands, domain hacks can also be more generic, or express a short phrase, take for example:<br />
<a class="boxer" href="https://www.merahost.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/short-phrases-as-domain-hacks-300x200.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-88 aligncenter" src="https://www.merahost.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/short-phrases-as-domain-hacks-300x200-300x200.jpg" alt="short-phrases-as-domain-hacks-300x200" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Who.is" href="http://who.is" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">who.is</a></li>
<li><a title="Fold.it" href="http://fold.it" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">fold.it</a></li>
<li><a title="Sync.me" href="http://sync.me" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">sync.me</a></li>
<li><a title="About.me" href="http://about.me" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">about.me</a></li>
</ul>
<div>Besides many others, these are all active sites at the time of writing. In general, the use of domain hacks is known to be very popular especially within the social communities.</div>
<h2>Using the New Generic Top Level Domains (New gTLDs) for Domain Hacks</h2>
<p>With the rise of more than 1,000 new generic top level domains like .company, .photography, .graphics, .land etc. released by ICANN, a large number of new domain hacks becomes possible. Most of them will be domain hacks for two-word compounds, noun phrases, or short phrases, like e.g. <strong>spanish.academy</strong>, <strong>book.limo</strong>, and <strong>leisure.tips</strong> (the first two examples are fully developed websites, while the third is for sale on BestNa.me). More precisely, the second level domain (SLD) to the left of the dot is the first part of the compound or phrase, while the second part is constituted by the top level domain (TLD), situated to the right of the dot.</p>
<h2></h2>
<p>Now we are also using the new gTLD .host for Domain Hacks and to complete our name MeraHost !</p>
<p>The new domain name <a href="http://www.mera.host" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">MERA.HOST</a> is now owned by MeraHost Web Hosting and currently redirecting to <a href="http://www.merahost.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MeraHost.ORG</a></p>
