Brainstorming Great Names

  1. Start with your business name, then add descriptors: filofahosting, filofashop.
  2. Use keywords your customers search for - they help SEO.
  3. Keep it short - under 15 characters is ideal.
  4. Make it easy to say and spell aloud over the phone.
  5. Test it with friends: if they can spell it after hearing it once, it is good.

Use the Filofa domain checker to see availability instantly across dozens of extensions. Check your name on .com, .com.bd, .net, and a couple of new extensions so you have options before you commit.

When Your Name Is Taken

  • Add a short, meaningful word: my, get, the, go.
  • Try a different extension - .net or .com.bd may be free.
  • Combine two words for a unique brandable name.
  • Check if the owner is selling it (aftermarket) - but only for serious brands.

What to Avoid

  • Numbers and hyphens - easily confused and look unprofessional.
  • Trademarked names - you can be forced to surrender them.
  • Hard-to-spell or ambiguous spellings.
  • Trendy words that will age badly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I buy multiple extensions of my name?

If the budget allows, registering .com plus .com.bd (and maybe .net) protects your brand from squatters. Redirect them all to your main site.
