When it comes to the domain name for your personal website, it makes sense to go with your name. After all, this website is all about you and presenting yourself in the best possible light to potential employers or anyone else you’re trying to impress. It’s imperative that you really think long and hard about your personal domain name because even though it is possible to change it later, this could be damaging to your brand and have a negative effect on search rankings. If your name is quite common, someone else may have got there first, but in this case, you simply have to be creative – try adding your middle name (if you have one), initials, or different punctuation to make it work.When it comes to choosing a domain name for a personal website, it’s best to keep it short so it’s easy to remember. You could also try to make it as memorable as possible with alliteration or something catchy if you don’t want to use just your name. Your choice of domain name can have a huge effect on how successful your new website’s going to be in terms of SEO so make sure you put a lot of thought into it.
