The naming guide

How to pick a domain people remember.

Six rules from a decade of watching what works and what doesn't. None of them controversial. All of them ignored more often than they should be.

01

Match your brand

Start with the brand name people will say out loud. If it's a single word, you're winning before you start.

02

Keep it short

Under 12 characters is the sweet spot. Easy to type into a phone, easy to fit on a business card.

03

Easy to spell aloud

Imagine telling someone over a phone call. If they'd ask 'how do you spell that?', change it.

04

.com or .co.nz first

For NZ businesses, register both. .co.nz signals local trust, .com is the global fallback. Snap up both for $45.98.

05

Avoid hyphens + numbers

You'll spend forever explaining 'acme-coffee, hyphen between acme and coffee, no number'. Skip it.

06

Act fast

Once someone else registers it, you're asking them to sell. The shortest path to a good domain is registering it today.

What you pay stays what you pay

No bait-and-switch renewals.

Most registrars hook you with a low first-year price, then ramp the renewal year after year. The price you register at is the price you renew at, every year, indefinitely.
