How to Choose a Domain Name (and Keep It Private)
A good domain is short, memorable and private. Here's how to get all three.
Naming basics
Keep it short, easy to spell and easy to say out loud. Favour a strong, brandable name over stuffing keywords, and check that the matching social handles are available.
Choosing a TLD
.com is still the default for trust, but .io, .co, .dev, .app and newer TLDs are great for tech and niche brands. Pick one that fits your project and audience.
Protect your privacy from day one
The moment you register, your contact details can hit the public WHOIS record — unless privacy is enabled. Hostpaedia includes free WHOIS privacy on every eligible domain, and you can register in crypto with no KYC, so your details stay yours.
