Choosing a domain name- branding issue

branding choosing domain name

[cdxx]

Hi...

It's my first massage on board- hello everyone...!

I am having hard time choosing a right domainname in a very competitive business and I thought it might be nice to hear few opinions about it.

I am building a website for renting apartments in a certain city and currently, I am using rent-[cityname]-apartments.com . I am not sure about this one because I dont know if it's easy to remember and if it will be easy to get inside the search engine...

Any suggestions about other domain names ( have to be easy to remember + contain one or more keywords for earch engine)

Thanks for any help....
Cdx.

If available, I'd go for 'renting-cityname.com'

After all, one day you may rent more than just apartments (cars, boats, political integrity..)

You've already narrowed yourself down to a specific location, why make it worse?

One less hyphen is a good move as well. There is some evidence that domains with more that one hyphen get less than red-carpet-treatment.
