    Domain name selection issue!

    I am prepared to launch a e-commerce website (sell almost all men's clothes) very soon. Should i select related name for my website or a short name like Amazon or Alibaba. Please share your thought!
    Thanks!

    A short catchy name with a reference to clothes would be the best.

    Have you already chosen an host and an ecommerce platform and such for your online shop? *Sorry, nosy.
    My "ranking" is kidding.

    The shorter the better.

    Also is good to try to have a "story" behind the name

    For Amazon: The "story" comes from the Amazon river, which is a river that is more than 10 times bigger than the second biggest river.

    For AliBaba: The "story" is based on Ali Baba story, in which when the protagonist says "Abre-te Sesamum" opens a door that leads to a room full of treasures.

    Your name must be memorable and short. And could have no relation to your business or area of business. One good example "Apple" - short and memorable, but do not have any connection to fruit.

    Simple, short and clever domain names will always do the trick. They will probably catch the customer attention easily.

    If your vision in the future focus only sell almost all men’s clothes, you should find name strongly related to the product. If you’ll prepare for any expansion in the future, you should find name more general, you may find name that have a story or meaning behind the name. And also it is better to use a short name to get easily found and memorized.
