Well after a lot of research, and I do mean a lot, I have chosen a domain name. You might think that this is an easy task, but the domain name is very important.
A couple of things you really need to keep in mind when you select a domain name is keywords and how easy the name is to remember. The obsticle to overcome is availability.
Orginally I had come up with internationalonlinechessnetwork.com. Although good for keywords and availability, it is simply to long. So I decided to shorten it up to internationalchessnetwork.com. I needed to wait awhile for this to become available and it finally did, but this gave me time to think about the name. It's a good name, but I realized I had forgotten a very good keyword, Internet! ShaBam! internetchessnetwork.com is available. Now that is a good one. It will directly compete with the other Internet Chess domains head on, and that is my intention.
So, the name will be internetchessnetwork.com icn for short and branding. Easy to remember, targeted keywords, a really good domain name for my chess server and network. Time to go registar...
