Secure Your Online Identity | The Ultimate Domain Extensions

Why register your domain in other extensions first before the competitor did? Domain branding is essential in creating customer loyalty. Therefore, when existing customers recognise your brand, they will come back for more, or even recommend their friends and family.

  • Loss of Customer: Prevent your competitors from ‘stealing’ your customers by registering your domain in other extensions.
  • Ineffective Brand Building: Imagine your business domain is www.accessory.com and your competitor grabs www.accessory.net Don’t waste your effort!
  • Lower Business Revenue: Similar domain from the competitor? Your customers are instantly given another choice to shop. Don’t let this hurt your revenue.

4 Incredible Ideas To Help You Select Your Domain Name

4 Incredible Ideas To Help You Select Your Domain Name

Do you think the process of finding the perfect domain is difficult? If yes, this post is meant for you! Here are 4 incredible ideas to help you select your domain name.

Until a few years ago, the Internet was limited by very few domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, etc. Each of these extensions served a specific type of entity; .com for commercial, .net for network and .org for organization.

As the Internet economy grew, it was realised that the Internet would need to become more organized and allow for more options for domain names. This led to the launch of over 1200 new domain extensions such as .tech for technology, .store for retail and eCommerce and .online for endless possibilities.

The new domain extensions have empowered millions of business owners such as you to access the massive opportunity to choose short, brandable, memorable domain names on a domain extension that is relevant to their industry. While kidsplayschool.com may not be available, kidsplayschool.space is!

how to buy a domain name from exabytes portal

As a result, finding the domain name that you desire is now easier than ever.

In this post, we will share some tips to help you get started on choosing a great domain name that will help you in fulfilling your business’s long-term brand-building objective.

Let’s jump right in!

1. Get Everyone in the Room to Brainstorm

Don’t underestimate the power of a good, old-fashioned brainstorm.

Get your team in a room with some markers and a whiteboard and let everyone scribble down words and ideas for the prospective domain name.

Talk about your values and offerings to get the ideas flowing.

meeting-brainstorm

Your domain name ideas don’t necessarily need to have your brand name. It can include:

  • Geographic location of your business (e.g. usatrekking.site)
  • Aspects that are important to your industry/business (e.g. speed of service – quicksolutions.tech)
  • Attributes that you could highlight (e.g. only for senior citizens or for newly married couples – seniorcitizens.space)

Encourage your team to think broadly and jot down anything that seems even remotely relevant. You never know where that one killer idea will come from.

2. Select the Domain Extensions that Best Suit Your Business

Once you have an idea of what keywords you want your domain name to have, think about a cool and unique domain extension that is relevant to your business.

New domain extensions are your entry pass to a great domain name without worrying too much about its availability. No matter which industry you operate in, there is a domain extension for you.

3. Make It Search Engine Friendly

Popular industry-relevant keywords are crucial for every business with an online presence.

Having appropriate keywords in your domain name is one of the ways to tell the search engines what your site is about. This is especially important for getting on-topic backlinks which help in ranking high in organic search results.

Therefore try to include keywords that denote something specific about your business in your domain name. The more niche you go, the more quality traffic your website will attract.

4. Make It Easy to Spell and Pronounce

Your domain name should be such that it’s easy to roll off the tongue. If one has to go to Google to confirm how exactly it is spelled, then you haven’t done a great job.

When users come to your site looking for something, the chances of them re-visiting increases if your domain name is easy to remember.

This is even more crucial because we have moved into an era of voice search. If virtual assistants such as Siri and Alexa don’t understand a domain name in the first go, it has failed the Radio Test.

Here’s a way to check the quality of your domain name: Say it 10x faster than the normal speed of speech. If you and others can understand, go for it! If not, keep tweaking.

Here are some examples:

  • Partyandgames.online is a winner over party-and-gamesonline.com
  • Getpasta.store is better than alessandrospastastore.com

If you like it, then you should have put your name on it!

So, there you have it! Armed with these 4 approaches, you are well on your way to finding that perfect domain name for your new business, startup or blog.

In conjunction with WordPress 15th Anniversary, Exabytes is glad to be part of the WordPress Community Kuala Lumpur Malaysia to support this event.

The celebration was held at Level 6 Setiawalk, Puchong office also known as Exabytes EasySpace.

Around 60 participants including WordPress fans, sponsors and organizers participated in this event that wonderful evening.

The event started at 6pm and ended around 9pm.

The participants came pouring in despite the heavy rain (no pun intended) and slow traffic.

After the registration, Sam Suresh, the organizer started the event with an introduction about today’s agenda and brief introduction about WordPress.

Next, Rindy Portfolio the other speaker of the event continued to share about the chronological improvement of WordPress and mentioned about the next version of WordPress 5.0, Gutenberg.

The most important feature is WordPress users are able to change all the settings in real-time which is similar to WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) functionality.

Rindy Portfolio

Can’t wait to try the next version?

The good news is you can have the live demo at wordpress.org/gutenberg

For more documentation and official announcement, you can read them from https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/.

After that, David shared more interesting facts and information about WordPress.

He introduced “Wapuu”, the official mascot of WordPress which many users had no idea about the history and design stories.

Currently, certain countries already have their localized Wapuu but Malaysia is yet to have our own official version.

Since it’s still the month of Ramadan, everyone “buka puasa” together with irresistible spread such as pizzas, KFC, McDonald’s McChicken, local dessert and more.

Needless to say, there was none left at the end of the meal!

The event was hyped up even more when Sam prepared an online quiz game where everyone can participant to win attractive prizes.

All the questions were related to the sharing session before such as who is the founder of WordPress, who currently owns WordPress or who is the creator of Wapuu.

That was the time where got so excited because in order to get the highest score, not only do you have to answer correctly, but you have to be fast as well.

best 45 coworking spaces in malaysia

With the growing numbers of coworking spaces popping up everywhere, we can’t help but give it a serious thought.

As cosy as a home office sounds, we can’t deny there are certain distractions (beds, TV, pets and more) that we could live without.

Especially when projects are approaching the deadlines!

Co-working space not only helps to compartmentalize your personal-work structure but also offers opportunities for networking.

To make things easier, we have compiled The Best 45 Coworking Spaces In Malaysia.

Bear in mind these spaces have from the simplest minimal interior structure to the gorgeous out-of-box decorations. There’s something for everyone!

malaysia co-worksing space 2018

While it’s nice having a summary of coworking space by location to choose from, there are factors to consider before choosing the one.

Believe us, it’s not only just about the space! Here are 5 important things to consider before signing up:

1. Office Amenities

Most of the coworking spaces will be kitted out with the standard equipment.

That doesn’t mean you should just accept the offer straightaway if it pleases you.

Do ask about anything extra such as meeting facilities, presentation tools, media rooms etc.

2. Atmosphere

Your coworking space should be one to spark productivity.

Take a tour around and observe how are the current space users utilize that space before deciding.

3. Seamless & Fast Internet

We can’t stress this enough.

Choose a space where the internet stability is seamless and fast.

Do ask about the wifi speed test to ensure they’re up to your requirement, especially when your scope of work is cloud-based.

4. Perks

Many coworking spaces offer perks for their members such as free beverages, exclusive deals to certain brands and outlet etc.

Do check with them if they are an Exabytes Co-Working Space Partner.

Because you could get more than RM1500 credits to kickstart/support your next great idea.

Read more about Exabytes Co-Working Space Partner Program below.

5. Security & Access

Is space open 24/7? Do you use an access card to enter?

How are the security there especially if you are working late nights?

Do check with the security protocols and whether the access is flexible to you, yet safe from unwanted threats.

Exabytes Co-Working Space Partner Program

This partnership program aims to benefit co-working spaces and their members.

Co-working spaces can enjoy free workshops and events conducted by professionals from Exabytes at their premises, plus other exciting benefits.
