Naming strategy,what use?
The domain name is like the title of a movie or a book. It must be attractive and respond to what the reader is looking for. At a minimum, it should be able to be formulated orally without difficulty, ideally if it has meaning. If you started on social networks and you create your site afterwards, you must keep your identity to gain the trust of Internet users. The internet naming strategy is becoming much more sophisticated and accessible compared to the days when there were only names in Latin and in only 3 extensions (.com, .net and .org). Generally, the size of a domain name is between 3 and 63 characters, there are exceptions for some extensions, however this interval is more than enough to create a domain name with the name of your company, or the keywords of your activity. Like a brand name, a domain name should be easy to remember. Not for you, but for others, especially if you are also targeting foreign readers or customers. It may be a good idea to acquire areas that come together with spelling errors. This is to prevent clumsy users from switching to phishing websites designed by malicious hackers.
Extensions for all needs!
The first country-related extensions appeared as early as 1985, shortly after the emergence of .com. These are the United States (.us), United Kingdom (.uk), as well as Israel (.il). The following year arrive those from Australia (.au), Germany (.de), Finland (.fi), Japan (.jp), as well as our national .fr, among others. Today, there are nearly 260 country-level extensions around the world, with typography strictly regulated. Usually, this involves two Latin letters that are included in the name of the country concerned. Example: .mg for Madagascar; .ca for Canada. The extension allows to locate and categorize the activities of its owner. National extensions (.fr, .it, .de) indicate your desire to be present in this geographic location, Other domain names have also appeared for regions such as Paris (.paris), Quebec (.quebec), Corsica (.corsica) ... As for the countries, these extensions are intended to communicate to Internet users that the site in question possibly has a physical address in the vicinity. The advantage is that when the user does a search on search engines, these pages are shown to them in the first results.
