Choosing the Right Domain Name for Your Business: 7 Simple Tips

When starting an online store, one of the most important decisions is choosing your domain name — the website address where customers will find you.

In simple terms, your domain name is your online identity.
Just like your shop board in the physical world, it tells people who you are and what you sell.

Example: www.meroelectronics.com or www.sitafoods.com

Choosing the right domain makes your brand look professional, trustworthy, and easy to find.


What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the web address you type to visit a website.
Example: thulo.com, daraz.com.np, or myclothingstore.com

When you create a website with Thulo, you can either:

  • Use a free domain like yourstore.thulo.com, or

  • Connect your own domain like www.yourstore.com

We always recommend using your own domain for better branding.


7 Tips for Choosing the Right Domain Name


1.0 Keep it Short and Simple

The best domains are easy to type, remember, and share.

✅ Good: sitamart.com
❌ Not great: sitasshopinbutwalandkathmandu.com


2.0 Use Your Business or Brand Name

If your shop is called “Hari Electronics,” try:

  • harielectronics.com

  • harielectronicsnepal.com

Avoid unrelated or confusing names.


3.0 Avoid Special Characters or Numbers

Stick to plain words. Avoid dashes (-), dots, or numbers unless they’re part of your brand.

everestfashions.com
everest-fashions123.com


4.0 Use .com or .com.np if Available

These are easy to remember and look professional.

  • .com is global

  • .com.np is free for Nepali citizens (through Mercantile)


5.0 Make it Easy to Pronounce & Spell

If people can’t say it or spell it, they won’t find it.

momosnepal.com
momouzxtrendy.com


6.0 Think Long-Term

Don’t pick a name based only on a trend. Choose something that can grow with your business.

organicbasket.com (scalable)
lockdownmasksnepal.com (limited use)


7.0 Check Before You Buy

Make sure the domain isn’t already taken or used by another business.

You can search domain availability on sites like:

  • business.thulo.com

  • name.com

  • godaddy

  • register.com.np (for free .np domains)


Bonus Tip: Secure Social Media Names Too

Try to match your domain name with your Facebook/Instagram handles for better brand consistency.

Example:

  • Website → www.nepaltea.com

  • Facebook → facebook.com/nepaltea

  • Instagram → @nepaltea
