Valuation Factors for a Domain Name

There are few technical factors that determine the value of domain name. If you have already booked a domain name any way. Otherwise follow the guidelines and read factors that help to determine before book a domain.

TLD (Top Level Domain) - This is the extension that appears at the end of any domain name e.g. http://www.sureshchowhan.com, in the example .com is the TLD (top level domain). There are various type of TLDs are available like .com, .net, .info, org, .co.uk, com.au, .co.in, .in etc. Some of the TLD are country specific like .co.uk for UK country, .co.in for India, .com.au for Australia and so on.

Country specific TLDs help much better than others to get top rankings in specific search engines, like Google.co.uk, Google.co.in, Yahoo.co.uk, MSN.co.uk etc. But one the most common and equivalent of other extensions such as .net, .info, org, is in practice very much. If you going to take this extension for your domain, there is no any harm but only profit for you domain name. But if you want to target only a specific country you should be aware for your country TLD (extension). Here is list of TLDs.

Domain name should contain a limited number of words, be sure no misspellings or abbreviations. If you are able to get a single word domain name, you are lucky otherwise, try to use only two or three words for your valuable domain name. Avoid misspellings, abbreviations, hyphens, characters, and numbers because it decreases the value of domain names. Beware to words (name) that are trademarked.

Some other factors like number of letters, generic and non-generic words also affect the domain value. Domain name with few letters are more valuable than long name domains.
