A domain name is your permanent address on the internet. This is what people will type into their internet browser to view your website. Your domain name should be a descriptive representation of your synagogue. If you are setting up a website for the first time or looking to create a new domain, here are some tips on how to choose an effective and memorable domain name.
- Easy to spell, pronounce, and remember
- Keep it short: A shorter domain name is easier to type and less likely to be misspelled.
- Use keywords: Including keywords in your domain name can help improve your search engine optimization (SEO).
- Avoid hyphens: Hyphens can make it difficult for people to find your website.
Sometimes you’ll find that your domain name is taken but a similar .com, .org, or .net version is available. Be careful using these though because your name should ideally be unique. With many synagogue sharing a name, it's best to include the city or another keyword that differentiates yours from another.
