The domain name (my business name) that I plan to secure is 5 words/21 characters?

Is it too long?
Would it affect SEO or cause any other issues?

Thanks
Fabien

Hi Fabien

Are you building a website for search engines or for people?

5 words and 21char is pretty long, and if you then addon the email part of "myname@" on the front, are people more likely to be put off by it?

It depends on who you are building the website for in some ways.

Yes

If you need 5 words in the domain name you are doing it wrong

The Fab New Tour Orgnaiser could be TFNTO.com - much easier to remember

Thanks disick. I didn't think of using initials only but it makes sense.

I'm hoping disick is a typo and not an abbreviation of dipstick...

Don't worry about it, I think it might catch on. I might call Fisicx dipstick from now on.

Aside from abbreviation of TFNTO.com from fisicx, fabtourorg.com will do if you like it.

I am working on a new project so the tour organiser is not relevant any more.
The new project is called My Wedding at the Château.

I am still not 100% sure about the abbreviation domain...

Thanks
Fabien

Keep it simple: chateauweddings.co.uk

But it also depends a lot on your marketing. If most of it will be online you can call it what ever you want as people will just be clicking on links.

How about a shorter domain, such as "wedding-chateau.co.uk"???

How about mychateauwedding.co.uk ? It is currently available and whilst the .com is already registered it has no web presence.

Try to keep it under 15 characters and look for a dotcom. Google for domain name generator, they can come up with some unique twists for you. Oh and do not use hyphens.
