Domain name prices are the same whether if you have a great domain or a bad domain. What is exactly a good domain name? Here are some tips to help you register your million dollar domain name.

1. Insert your product / service keyword into your domain name

- using a keyword in your domain name allows internet visitors to know what your website offers. For example, if you are using selling jewelry then you can add in this keyword to your domain name, such as 1SpecialJewelry.com

2. Avoid dashes in your domain name

- have you seen the domain names like my-website.com ? Not only is this domain name hard to read out, your visitors might just forget this domain name and end up in your competitors website of mywebsite.com

3. Use simple words and spelling

- avoid using “big” words that visitors might not understand and always spell check the keyword before you register this

- there’s nothing worse that using a keyword that you cannot even spell properly (and result in you even misspelling your domain name)

4. Choose the international domain name (top level TLD)

- rather than just registering your eonenet.com.my for local Malaysia market or eonenet.com.hk for the Hong Kong market, grab the eOneNet.com name as this name is easier to remember.

- what if your competitors own the .com and you only registered the .com.sg version? Then, it’s advisable to register another domain name where you can grab both the .com and the .com.sg (otherwise customers who do not type the .sg will end up going to your competitors’ site)

5. Register both the singular and plural versions
