Help me choose a Domain Name
hey all. I hope I'm posting this in the right section, if not moderator please move this to the right section.
i want to register for a domain its going to be a history website.
for example, lets just say im going to do about history of the United States . (just an example)
so, currently www.unitedstates.com, www.stateshistory.com www.unitedstateshistory.com is taken.
so i'm trying to get something similar to it.
these are the 2 domains that are coming to my head, choose if u like any one, if you got another domain name idea let me know.
1.) www.states-history.com
2.) www.historyofstates.com
Thanks for your help.Last edited by FastLane_Lancer; 07-21-2009 at 04:48 AM.

I like #2 more compared to #1. I don't know why, but I prefer domains without dashes to those that have dashes.
I've heard that it can affect SEO, but I really doubt that.bikster.com - Quality Hosting. Affordable Prices.

According to your website content you should also consider other domain zones:
.org
.us
.info
.net
I like historyof.us , but it is already taken

What about...
Historyof.us so you read it like "History of US or History of U.S."

get the local domain name.
e.g. history.sg, history.cn, etc. I would put a more catchy keyword instead of using "of".Jweeb Solutions

I prefer the domain of thehistoryofus.com
People might be curious to browse through the site because 'us' can means a lot of things and not necessarily United States.

I would prefer diffrent domain name i.e. ancientimeus.com. you can edit is as per you required.
You can replace "us" to your country name
OR
If you like ancient time you can buy ancientime.net,.info,.org,.biz many more....

I think from marketing point of view using the second one with no dash would be better.
