How to Determine a URL for a Website

URL is an acronym for Uniform Resource Locator. The terms URL and domain name are used interchangeably. Factors that create a user-friendly URL are the length of the URL, hyphenation and mixture of words and numbers. If a URL is too long, people will have difficulty remembering it. Adding hyphens between words often helps users read the domain name easier, allowing them to commit it to memory. Using numbers at the beginning or end of a URL will make the name easier to remember.
