Make it easy to pronounce and spell.
Keep it unique and brandable.

Avoid doubled letters.

Agreed with the above advice(s)

Firstly, your domain name needs to be unique.

Secondly, make it easy to pronounce and mostly, easy to remember. Branding is best when recalled :)

Thirdly, acoud hyphens, and double letters. Keep it short.

Finally, ensure that the domain name is protected. With basics like SSL certificate, Digital certificates, SiteLock and codeguard etc. I as a web dev prefer getting it from BigRock for my clientele.

And yes, use a TLD that suits your business/category. A .COM is not the be all and end all of everything. :)

-hope this helps!

Your domain name should also match your brand name. You don't want to confuse your visitors by using a domain name that is irrelevant or has no association whatsoever with what you do. You want a domain name that is simple to read, say and remember.
