  • Domain name length

    Hi
    http://how-to-build-your-own-surfboard.com
    I'm starting to get some good traffic but I am concerned about this domain name for three reasons:
    1 The length.
    2 The hyphen between each word making it hard to type.
    3 The word 'build'. Perhaps it should be 'make' so that a million different sites don't come up in searches about building, construction or DIY projects.

    Does anyone have any suggestions or am I over-reacting? Would it be a good idea to register several simpler names with redirects on them?

    That's right Gavin. People nowadays like short tags. How about diy-surfboards, surfpr**types, wavecraft.com, surfcraftinc. Now that's a lot of options already. If you picked one just thank me and I'll be in suspended animation. Cheers mate.

      I do think you should make it short, but at the same time make sure that the name includes relevent keywords

        Best with something short. buildingsurfboards.com is available with many other similar names.

          Thanks people. I think I will go for a shorter Domain Name. Now, how do I do that? Simply register a new name and redirect to the existing site? Or, move the whole site to a new Domain and dispose of the previous? I don't want to undo all the growth the site has had so far, but I don't want to pay to much in hosting 2 sites either. What's the easiest way?
          Thanks.http://how-to-build-your-own-surfboard.com

            Hi, you don't pay any more for hosting 1 sites or 100 sites with VH. But you do have to pay for the extra domains names. If you feel that you have a fantastic growth with the domain you have. Then leave as is.
            Regards Chris.

              Hi,

              My suggestion is to name your domain as short as possible:

              I.e. "surfboard.org", or .net, or .biz, or .com, or .us, or.yourname etc which ever is available. If they are all not available us country addresses
              i.e. ".com.my", "com.tv" etc.

              The name "surfboard" is open ended and not restricted to a niche activity
              like "DIY" which relate to just one activity surrounding a surfboard.

              Tags can be expended to a wide array of connections such as waves, surf, surf sites, surf countries, ocean waves, seas etc.
