How to choose a good domain name

Short, easy to spell and on the right extension: practical tips for picking a domain for your business, project or Minecraft server.

Updated November 2026 · 3 min read · By the Hunati team

Short answerPick a short, brandable name without hyphens, on .be for Belgium, .eu for Europe or .com for international reach.

Seven tips

  1. Keep it short and easy to say out loud.
  2. Avoid hyphens and numbers that people have to spell out.
  3. Use your brand name rather than a list of keywords.
  4. Register common typos or the plural form if they are cheap.
  5. Check social media handles with the same name.
  6. Make sure the name does not infringe a trademark.
  7. Register it for several years so it does not expire by accident.

Connect the domain to your website or server (see how to connect a domain) and enable a free SSL certificate so your site loads over https.

Check if your domain is available.
