Understanding Your Domain Score
A domain name is the foundation of your online identity, and its quality can significantly impact your brand's success. This tool provides a quantitative score based on a combination of factors that are widely considered best practices in the domain industry. A higher score generally indicates a more valuable, memorable, and brandable domain.
Key Factors in Our Analysis:
- Length: Shorter domains are almost always better. They are easier to type, easier to remember, and fit better on marketing materials. Our algorithm heavily favors domains under 8 characters.
- TLD (Extension): The `.com` extension is the king of top-level domains. It carries the most authority and trust. While other TLDs like `.io` and `.ai` are popular in the tech space, `.com` is universally recognized and valued.
- Clarity and Simplicity: The presence of hyphens or numbers immediately complicates a domain. They are hard to communicate verbally ("is that the number 4 or the word four?") and are often associated with lower-quality websites. Our analyzer penalizes these traits accordingly.
How to Use This Information
Use this score not as an absolute final verdict, but as a guiding metric. If you score low due to a long name with a hyphen, consider brainstorming shorter, cleaner alternatives. If your score is high, you can be confident that you have a strong, marketable asset. The goal is to find a name that is not only available but also an effective foundation for your brand.
