How to choose a domain name

Almost every time I have to pick a domain name it is always on the spot. I go out and investigate the best hosting deals, and they always seem to come with this free domain name that I do not need. I've picked up at least 4 domain names just trying out different hosting.

A good rule of thumb is choose something short, but sweet...something that's easy to remember. In my opinion, I think a .com name should always be the first pick...only take a .net, .org, or other web extension if the .com name you want is taken.

This time when I went with Dreamhost, I just used the domain for storing files...I don't want to be dependent on too many domain names. Because Dreamhost hosts unlimited domains for free, I can move all of my websites onto one server. I still have a couple more sites to move, but my first hosting migration went pretty smoothly. I hope I can say the same when it's all said and done.
