If the exact-match name of your business is already taken, we suggest to come up with combination of words to form a unique and available domain. You should choose a name that is easy to remember and easy to spell so users can easily type in your URL name or tell their friends about it.
Register domains – after choosing the domain and seeing its availability, you should then proceed to domain registration. You should pick an extension name – most people go for .com or .net since those are the popular ones but it is recommendable to register the name in all extensions to avoid conflict in the future.
