Why and how did I choose my domain name?

Why?

I wanted my name to be apart of my domain name, since it’s my domain. I didn’t want my full first name linked to it, so I decided to go with just the initial and full last name. For my subdomain, I just added dgst101 to the front to differentiate between my dgst class subdomain, and my main domain.

How?

I took the first initial from my first and middle name, and put it next to my last name. I knew my last name would be available without the initials, but I wanted my domain name to be a little more unique than just my last name.

Why domain names are important

Why?

Having a unique and easy to remember domain name is crucial to building your brand on the internet. If it’s just your name, it helps people find your domain easier, which helps get your name out the door. Creating a domain name tied to your brand or what you want to put out in the world is a great start to connect your ideas to the public.
