Useful rules for choosing the best domain name

Before attempting to register a domain name you are strongly recommended to perform the searches described in this article. The recommendations in this article are intended to help you in choosing a domain name, and also to protect you from violation of earlier rights.

1. In the first place, I will advise you to check if there exists already a registered trademark, which is identical or similar to the domain name you intend to register. If the preliminary search shows that there exists a similar and/or identical trademark, in this case, you are recommended not to register this domain name and choose another one for which you are advised to perform the same check again. This will prevent and reduce the risk of future litigations because in the event of a dispute, the proprietor of the trademark is entitled to request the domain to be transferred, the rights to the domain to be terminated, as well as the payment of compensation for damages caused. It is therefore advisable to perform a preliminary search because you will be informed of all the risks at the very beginning. In this way, you will be able to save costs for domain name registration, advertising, legal fees, and others. It is important to be noted that in most cases the claims of proprietors of trademarks are satisfied.
2. The next check, which you are highly recommended to perform before the registration of the domain name is to check if there is a registered company with the same name.
3. You are also advised to check whether there are any similar registered domain names.
4. I do not recommend you to register generic domain names such as books.com, cosmetics.com, etc.
5. You are strongly recommended to register a domain name in any of the following areas: . com, .net,. org,. biz,. info.
6. It is advisable not to register a too long domain name. Keep it short, because in this way it will be remembered faster. Long names are difficult to be remembered. Avoid registering domain names containing hyphens and numbers.
7. An important point when registering a domain name is the name of the proprietor entered in the register. In the event that someone else has been hired with the registration of your domain name (for example the developer of your website), you should be sure that your name or that of your company is registered as the proprietor of the domain name in the register.

After registering the domain name you are strongly recommended to register a trademark. You are advised to consult an intellectual property specialist to perform the preliminary search for the existence of identical or similar to the domain name trademarks as well as registered companies with the same name.
