Hello everybody!
I need advice on something.

I am going to register a new domain name for my website but cannot decide between the following two. Any advice??

www. html-the-easy-way .com or www. html-learn-it .com ???

Which one is more catchy and suitable in your opiniion??? Please comment!

I think html-learn-it.com is easier to remember and catchier. How about learn-html-now.com? I always like adding now to the end if a common phrase is taken.

siyab,

i don't mean to discourage you from using that name but the name is similar to my php site which is php-learn-it.com.

I'm working on the html tutorials site which i was going to name html-learn-it.com and a css site which im going to call css-learn-it.com

please let me know if you're going to use this domain name. but if you have already register the name then its a fair game

Hey don't worry. I'm not registering html-learn-it.com. I have decided on another one

Either one is good ... the question is what do you want?

You can also redirect later on to those sites with a short url.

I would say don't register either.

People seem to choose names that reflect the site rather than branding a name.

I get people all the time with names like

coffecakescandycandlesjewelryandmore.com

That is no joke, I have people daily with long combinations and then to top it off the add "andmore" or "ect" at the end.

If you do something like HTMLDOG.com (don't know if it is taken just an example) then you can build the site around a theme. Have dogs in the pages and give your site some identity. The name is easier to remember than one with dashes.

The name is useless if people wont remember it, and with several dashes, they wil never type it in directly. So my vote is to choose something more simple.

The name can make or break a site. I would work hard to get something that is just right.

People won't remember it. but search engines will like it. i can prove it with some of my own sites.

You can also redirect with a short domain name to the long hyphenated word domain name

hey hey. I chose http://easyhtmltutorials.com instead of the the ones i mentioned. Webdev had a problem(and he was right) about the similar domains of his and my site so I changed the name. Hope its easy to remember: EasyHTMLTutorials.com !

The Web site name should be easy to remember.
