Dear webmasters!

I hope that you all are in your good health and enjoying building sites.

I am making a site in nameoflanguage language. The site will publish tutorials about computers and internet. I am confused on domain selection. I wish I can register domains like nameoflanguageweb.com and nameoflanguagenet.com , but unfortunately they are not available. I need your advice and suggestion in selecting a good domain. I want two keywords in my domain for search engine promotion. One keyword is " nameoflanguage " itself. Can you suggest another good keyword?

Hi webustaad

Have you tried other top domains than .com?
If you don't want any other than .com, maybe
"resource" is a suitable second word?

Isa71 Thanks for your advice. I don't want to register .net or .org as it will be the copy of .com domain. Resource is a good keyword but it is going to make the domain lengthy? What do you say about it?

I guess it depends on the length of the name of the language. But generally, I don't see long URL:s as a problem at all, as long as they are easy to remember.
I find www.welcometodisneyland.com better than
www.rqt-pxz.com if you see what I mean ;-).
