This is one of the most asked question for webmasters, so here are a few tips when choosing a domain name.
Fisrt what you want to do is decide what your site is going to be about. Whether you will make it for tech, support, chatting, etc..This is essential so your domain will be related to the topic of the site.
Second what you want to do is choose something short. No one wants to type in a 30 character long web address, its annoying if you dont bookmark it, and it just looks stupid. Picking a short name like exvio, efusion, etc...is really the best way to go.
Thirdly you want to pick something unique. Picking a unique domain name will attract more people. Lets say if your site is about chatting. Most people will include the word chat in it which it good, but a way to make it more appealing would be adding a unique and appealing word, such as desire, eternity, fusion...etc.
Lastly choosing your domain ending such as .com, .net, .org is also essential. Yes .com is the most widely used "ending" there are others that suite your site best. Basically if you are having a web forum based for a certain team or group .net would be better, if you have a major group, or organization, .org would be better. .com would be best used for general websites.
Also, there are many domain name generators that choose a domain for you by using the keywords you provide, i dont recommend this because all they really do is take your keywords and merge them.
Well there are a few tips that you can use when making a new website.
Hope this can be a spot of help.
