Your domain name is your entry point on the internet. So we have created a 3 points checklist for you to keep in mind when choosing a domain for your website:

Keep it Short: Short domain names are easy to remember. You may see this with various cool domains such as daviral.ng, bbc.com and jiji.ng etc.
Keep it related to your niche: If you are registering domain for your blog then you can use your name & end the name with blog. So for example: if your name is “Mike” then you can create something like “Mikesblog.ng”.
Domain extension: Choosing the right extension is very important for your website as it lets your visitors connect with your brand & online identity. So you must choose it carefully.

We recommend, if you are creating your website for Nigeria then you should go for a .ng or .com.ng domain extension. It will let your visitors know that you are from Nigeria. Most importantly, .ng & .com.ng are very brandable in Nigeria & will help you rank higher on Google Search in Nigeria. However, if you want to create a global website then you should go for a .com domain name. Generally we recommend you to have both .com & .ng domains for your brand protection.
