- Triple W
Nowadays, users no longer bother putting the famous “www” before the domain. Therefore, it is important that your domain works with and without “www”. At intelplanet.com you can register your domain and use it with or without “www”.
TIP: Include the “www” in all your printed advertising, since it has been proven that many users do not differentiate a domain from an email account.
- Domain Extensions
Your domain is the gateway to your website. It is proven that the more doors (extensions) you offer to your clients, the more visits your website will have. Therefore, it is highly recommended to register domains similar to your main domain. For example, if your domain is srchef.mx, also register srchef.com or Señorchef.com. This will make it much easier for people to find you on the Internet.
TIP: If you already have your .com domain registered, protect your trademark by registering your domain with the ending .net, .org, .biz… If your business is developed abroad, you can also register regional domains such as (.com.mx, .mx, .com.ar, .cl, .com.br, .es) etc.
- Don’t use hyphens
When choosing a domain, avoid using hyphens: a hyphen is difficult to remember. People usually don’t count whether it’s an en dash or an underscore, or where it is in the domain. The easier your domain is to remember, the more visits it will have.
- Numbers
Just as a hyphen is difficult to remember, the same is true with a number. It is best not to use them on your domain unless it is part of the brand and people already remember it.
TIP: If you are registering a domain with a number, also spell registration. For example cabo1000.com, also register cabomil.com
- The shorter the better
Short names are always easier to remember. When you choose a domain, the best option is that it does not exceed 12 characters. Also take into account that the domain is easy to pronounce and write.
- Avoid upper and lower case letters
Web servers are not case sensitive. Advertising your domain as MiNegocioEnInternet.com will only confuse your customers. Always present your domain in lowercase letters.
- The name of your company
The best name for your domain is the name of your company. If it is already busy, you can use the most similar one possible, that is easy to remember and that is related to your company or line of business.
TIP: If you use more than one word, make sure the words are easy to remember. For example playasmexicanas.com is long and has two words, but it is very easy to memorize.
- They catch you with errors
Some users may make mistakes when typing your domain name, the best practice is to register the domains with the most common errors. For example, if your domain is edgargimenez.com, it is best to also register edgarjimenez.com and edgargimenes.com, among others. This way you ensure that people who are looking for your website can find it even if they spell the domain wrong.
- Take care of your BRAND
If you have already registered your domain.com, it is time to consider protecting the brand of your company or business. It is important to remember that anyone can buy a domain that is available, so you need to get ahead of the competition and register all the extensions available for your domain.
(For example, .com.mx, .mx, .net, .org, .biz, .es, etc.)
- Plural and Singular
If you have already purchased a domain and it is also available in plural, it is best to register it. For example, if your domain is tabladesurf.com, also register tabladesurf.com. This way you ensure more traffic to your website, you prevent them from gaining web traffic and you will help people find you more easily. Remember that every visitor to your website can become a potential customer.
- Mastery Comes First
It is always advisable to register the domain before starting to design the website. Spending resources on web designers and advertising campaigns before having the domain secured is risking losing the money and time invested. Remember that thousands of domains are registered daily and anyone can register a domain.
TIP: If you already know which domain you are going to use, register it immediately before they take it from you.
- Local and International Business
If your business operates in a specific region, it is important to register the extension corresponding to the location.
For example, if you do business in Mexico, your clients will feel more identified by entering a .com.mx or .mx domain.
But also having the .com will give them greater confidence. Always consider all possible options.
- The extension says a lot
Although we know that .com is the most popular extension and the one we think of first, there are too many extensions that refer to the type of website you have on the Internet. For example, if your website corresponds to an NGO (Non-Profit Organization), it would be highly recommended to register the .org extension. If your site was related to information it could be .info
TIP: If you already have the extension related to your line of business, you have done a good job. But remember, don’t stop recording!
the COM! It is always the first option and will bring you many visits.
- The ICANN guarantee
To have your company or business on the Internet, the domain is a fundamental tool. Your emails and the display of your website depend on it, which is why it is very important that your domain is registered in your name (or in the name of your company), to avoid inconveniences and to be able to renew it or carry out procedures. To avoid taking risks, always register your domains with companies endorsed by ICANN, the main regulator of domain registration companies worldwide.
intelplanet is an ICANN Accredited Registrar since 2010.
Respect registered trademarks
It is best to avoid registering names that are trademarks or variants thereof. It is likely that the company that owns the brand will take legal action to claim ownership of the domain.
The same thing happens with names of artists, institutions or organizations of national and international scope.

- Domains in Spanish
Now it is possible to register these domains with the letter ñ or with an accent. Domains like cabanasmexico.com are things of the past although remember that it is always good to have it. Registering your internationalized domain is the same as a common domain and has the same price.
TIP: To ensure more visits, keep the domain without ñ or accents. But you can triple the number of visits if you register, for example, cabanasmexico.com, cabanasmexico.net, cabanassenmexico.com, cabanas-mexico.com, etc…
- Never in the name of third parties
Losing a domain also means losing your investment and, above all, customers!!! To avoid this, always register your domains in your name or in the name of your company. This way you will avoid headaches, loss of time and even legal problems.
- Creativity = Visits
Now that you have registered your company’s domain name, it is time to think about alternative and catchy names to gain visits to your website. For example, if you have a computer store you can register tucomputadorahoy.com, which is original, easy to remember and you can use it in an advertising campaign.
- Both Genders
A good idea to boost visits to your website is by registering your domain in its opposite gender. For example, if your domain isentrepreneursmexicanos.com, ensure female visits by registeringentrepreneursmexicanas.com
Sometimes a single letter makes a big difference.
- Keywords or Branding
Every new brand must be accompanied by a good advertising campaign. If your company or business is taking its first steps, it is better to start with a domain that includes the keywords of the sector to which your company belongs. But we always recommend that you register both domains, both the one that contains keywords (keywords) and the one that makes your brand known (branding).
When your company has taken off, you don’t want to be surprised that someone else has already registered the domain.
- Don’t lose it
It is important that you pay attention to the expiration date of your domain. Remember that when a domain expires and becomes free, anyone can register it. Losing a domain can bring you serious problems, from loss of information, loss of customers and investment.
TIP: You can always register your domain for 5 or up to 10 years. This is the best way to secure your brand!
