When choosing of a better Domain Name

[chloe]

Hi everyone!

Can anyone give me some tips on how to choose a good Domain Name?
What are the considerations that one must be aware of when registering a Domain?

I used to recommend dashes in the domain; if you ever plan on advertising your site anywhere other than the web I strongly discourage it. Additionally, if you don't register a .com automaticaly assume you are going to be losing 25% to 30% of type-in traffic.

Explaining to people off the net what a hyphen is takes a suprisingly long time.
