Before You Start: Choosing Your Domain Name

Tips for a Great Domain Name

  • Keep it short — 6-14 characters is ideal
  • Make it memorable — easy to spell and pronounce
  • Use keywords — include your business or industry term

  • Check social media — ensure the name is available on major platforms

Choosing Your TLD (Extension)

| TLD | Best For | Price | |-----|----------|-------| | .com | Any business (most popular) | NPR 1,764/yr | | .com.np | Nepal-focused businesses | NPR 2,500/yr | | .np | Personal/organizational | NPR 2,500/yr | | .net | Tech companies | NPR 1,600/yr | | .org | Non-profits | NPR 1,400/yr | | .xyz | Startups, creative projects | NPR 320/yr |
