    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.

    I like #3 the most.. But it appears to be regged since 98.

    The other two are slightly awkward/"incomplete" imo

    edit: sorry www.unitedstateshistory.com is taken

    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.

    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".

    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.
