Choosing a domain name for your company's website is extremely important.  It should be simple, easy to remember and reflect the purpose of your site.  Here are some important suggestions you may want to think about when choosing a domain name:

Keep it simple:  It is important that your domain name remains as simple as possible.  It is not recommended to use hyphens, numbers or other non-letters in the name.  If the name was provided on the radio, would it need explanation or clarification?  It shouldn't.
Keep it relevant:  The most common domain name is simply to use your business name.  For instance if your company name was Chatham Chihuahuas you may choose to www.chathamchihuahuas.com.  It is easy to remember because it is the name of your business.  You may choose instead to have a domain name that describes the essence of your company, using important keywords.  For instance a site like this could use the domain www.webdesignchatham.com, because it describes what we do.
Keep it short:  If possible, short is better.  The domain name www.ford.com is much simpler and less prone to typing errors than www.fordmotorcompany.com.
Use multiple domain names:  Some companies have multiple domain names in order to better market themselves on the net or to make their sites easier to find.  This does not have to entail multiple domain hosting charges.
