Now that you have brainstormed all of your
ideas for your site; its time to come up with a name for your new site – keep
in mind that this name is going to be somewhere in your domain name. For
Example, the name of my site is Angelic Devil Television after my company name
and my domain name in “myadtv".
Coming up with a name is yet isn’t the most
easy task in the world to accomplish, but its like coming up with a name for
your unborn child; once you come up with the name it just rings a bell in your
head and you are stuck on it. You have to come up with something that you like,
but also keep in mind your brainstorming list. When you answered what your site
is going to be about and as well as your target audience; that must play a huge
part in your site name as well as your domain name – which we will get into
domain names at a later time and another article.
I actually own 3 companies, all three of them
I carefully choose names for. The first is of course ADTV – Angelic Devil
Television (formerly FDX Productions) – the next is SouthSide Designz, and last,
but not least its TexasDataHost.
Angelic Devil Television came about quite
easily actually, as I have said in another article; I am a wrestler and with
being a wrestler I have a tag team partner -- who happens to be my best friend
(and like my sister). The name of our tag team is The Angelic Devils – with her
as the Angelic Devil and me as the Demonic Angel (playing off the yin and yang
of life). SouthSide Designz was also pretty easy; I knew that I wanted a design
company so the“design” part of the name was pretty obvious, then the fact of
where I live – the southside of the country; not the southside of the city –
SouthSide Designz came out of practically nowhere and it stuck, if you ask me
where I came up with spelling it as “Designz”, I cannot tell you because I have
no clue why, it just stuck that way. Lastly there is TexasDataHost – one word – this
is where all of my companies come together as one. TexasDataHost is a web
services (web hosting) provider, you can get your customized templates and
graphics from ADTV and SouthSide Designz and then I can also help you with
hosting and domain registration. TexasDataHost may not be the cheapest in the
world, but it is worth the price for what you get. http://www.texasdatahost.co.cc

Now, enough of my shameless plug for my
companies; now back to what I was telling you guys.
Coming up with a name is a fairly simple
process, remember the answer you had for who it is that you want to reach out
to? Try to use keywords to cover the basis of your name. Let's say you wanna
make a site that offers music downloads – free or paid does kinda matter as
well, keep that in mind -- you can have something with “music",“mp3",“artist", or anything else that is a keyword pertaining to music. Now let's say that you have a website that
you want to offer free tutorials then you may have something in your name such as,“tutorial",“free", or“help".
The name of your site and most of the
content that you have will determine how well your site will do on the
Internet.
Finally, you want to make sure that you aren't infringing on anyone; so make sure that your site name is different from someone else, if you are using an acronym --like I have done with ADTV -- make sure that you clarify the name of your site by stating what the acronym means.
I will be the first to tell you that coming
up with the name isn't all that great of a task. When I came up with the name for all of my
sites it was not very easy, but I had confidence that I would come up with the
right name eventually. When it came to
Angelic Devil Television the decision was quite simple as well as with
SouthSide Designz. But when it came to
TexasDataHost it became a bit harder to come up with a name for my newest
company. But eventually, the name came
to me as I too went back and answered the questions that I listed in my
previous article most to my disbelief it was fairly easy that the name would
appear so quickly in my hand.
I suggest, that anyone making a web site
whether you are a professional or a novice, go back and read my previous
article and review the steps that I have listed. But if you would rather take it from
a more professional person than you can visit W3schools.com and skip the work
that goes into brainstorming a coming up with a name for your site, it is free
to the heart's desire to go that route but I must warn you that W3schools only
shows you how to format your html and CSS. CSS is the hardest part of making a
website to some people, although it is fairly easy to do it. But for those that
can wait; that tutorial will be coming soon for your pleasure.
I'm not claiming to be a guru at this; I have
actually gotten that comment before but the fact of the matter is I don't claim to
be, because there are still things that I must learn as well and as soon as I
learn how to do something; I come back and share it with you guys and girls out
there that want to get their own piece of the internet. In the next tutorial we
are going to cover resources, that will
be up next week, so until next time; keep on reading.
