  • How (Not) to Choose a Domain Name  By : Barbara Theodosiou
    The "No-Dash" Rule

    In almost all of the cases, dashes (hyphens) and underscores will hurt your domain name in the efficiency department. This is because many times you won't be able to give your web address to people in written form, but all you'll get instead is the opportunity to say it. Let's take Mommy Mentors as an example. Mommy Mentors' domain name is mommymentors.com. If I were to tell someone about Mommy Mentors (in person, on the phone, in a radio ad), all I'd have to say is "Go to mommymentors.com." Conversely, if the Mommy Mentors domain name would contain a dash (i.e. mommy-mentors.com) I'd have to use "mommy dash mentors dot com," "mommy mentors dot com and don't forget the hyphen," or any number of other ungracious formulas. To say nothing of the fact that a lot of people will know about Mommy Mentors from an offline source and will intuitively type in their browsers "mommymentors.com."
