    Consider the following:

    What are you going to do with the website, webshop, forum etc.

    Depending on that, try to find a domain name that fits the thing you offer.

    Depends what your website is going to be about...

    From a SEO point of view you should try to include critical keywords into your domain name.

    Also make sure it's brandable not something very common.

    Without you giving out more details there's not much else I can advise at this time.
    Uptime Monitor - Minimize your downtime by being the first to know about it!

    Blacklist Monitor - Are any of your IPs or Domains blacklisted? Find out before it gets to affect you or your clients.

    - Relevance. If you make a site about a flower shop in London, pick a domain like londonflorist.co.uk instead of x45b3.info.
    - Length. No one likes a domain which takes ages to type out.
    - Memorability. Sortof ties in to the first two. If you have a shop called Florist London, floristlondon.com is more memorable than florlon.com.

    As others have suggested, it totally depends upon your requirements. However, the basic difference lies in your vision.

    If you name a brand going by logic, you'll come up with a name that will help you establish it. People would understand its meaning in the first go. No need to educate them on it. However, in the long run, similar names could pop up in the market. You may not have a unique identity anymore.

    Consider a case like "Godaddy", wherein the name is uncommon. It took time to register in our minds. But now its common for us. No other competitor can come up with a name like this to take away your audience by misleadign them.

    Short term Vs Long term - your call!

    In regards to your question, there are many things to consider before choosing a good domain name. For example you want to consider the length of the domain name. Keep your domain short and simple, the less complicated it is the easier it will be for your potential visitors to remember.

    Another side point is to at all possible try to avoid using hyphens or numbers. The reason why is because if your website is heard it can be easily misunderstood and you potential visitor heads somewhere else.

    One last thing is to keep in mind that even if you come up with a great idea for a domain, there is a possibility that it may infringe on someone elses copyright. Therefore you might want to do just a little research before snapping up that name and check.
