It is getting extremely difficult to find unregistered keyword rich domain name for your website. The solution is to learn how to do domain name search. It is even harder to find a name that can fully represent your niche and brand simultaneously.
This is the effect of increasing awareness for business globalization where local brands can compete internationally. This has made the population of businesses that have found website useful increase exponentially.
According to VeriSign Inc, 6 million domain names were registered in the first quarter of 2015 alone. This brought the total number of registered domain names in the world to 294 million.
This figure in my expectation will increase by 30% in 2016 because there is increasing flexibility in the creation of website which makes design agencies offer affordable web design. This trend however cannot make the web over-saturated. So, there is always a space large enough to contain incoming or new websites.
What is a domain name?
It is the address of your website. It is the name your visitors will type into the browser when they want to access your site. Domain name is like a sign post or the door post to our site. It should undoubtedly herald your brand creativity. Branding and uniqueness of site starts with domain name.
A typical one looks like the structure below:
http://www.yoursitename.com
Where;
http stands for: HyperText Transfer Protocol while https stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol over SSL that is, Secure Socket Layer.
www stands for: World Wide Web
.com is the extension that characterizes the type of domain.
Apart from the conventional TLDs (Top Level Domains) like .com, .net, .org, there are other hundreds of new GTLDs (Generic Top Level Domains) you can choose from that can make your domain name unique and memorable, e.g. .name, .website, .club, etc.

Let Your Passion Drive You
The major factor of a successful entrepreneurial journey is passion. I started blogging because of the passion I have for my plantain chips business, market needs and the desire to help people. I later learn the art of blogging which momentarily qualifies me to blog on this website.
Frandimore (the name of this site) was intended to be a unique brand on its own from business perspective (Website design & Online Marketing) and not necessarily from keyword angle. And that is why it has been taking us longer time to rank #1 on SERP for our projected keywords.
But plantainchips.biz, (another site I manage alongside Frandimore) was created out of the love I develop for people in plantain chips business in Nigeria. So, the domain name was carefully carved out from the targeted keywords.
In both cases, something deeper than necessity had driven me to setup those websites. Let what you are passionate about guide you when searching for a domain name. My plantain chips website was based on keyword, while Frandimore was based on brand development.
