Good Domain Names What makes a domain name good? No concrete across-the-board standard exists to my knowledge, but we can set certain general requirements. A domain name should be meaningful
Your name should serve as a meaningful label for the site...does it make sense? In practice, this may be difficult: the rapidly shrinking base of common phrases from which to choose forces new sites to adopt names more distant from the core conceptual domain of the site. In effect, new sites get names so obscure with respect to what the site is about that the names cease to have pertinence or relevance for that site's being. If you are creating a name out of made-up words or phrases, try to map a meaning to that name as quickly and consistently as possible. If you are re-purposing a word with a new meaning, ditto.
