Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good ecommerce business name?

A good name is: memorable (easy to recall), pronounceable (no awkward spellings), available as a .com domain, available on social media, not trademarked, short (2-3 syllables ideal), and hints at what you sell without being too literal.

Should my store name include what I sell?

It depends. Descriptive names (PetSuppliesPlus) are clear but limit expansion. Abstract names (Amazon, Apple) allow growth into any category. For niche stores, descriptive works well. For broader ambitions, choose something more versatile.

How do I check if a business name is available?

Check: (1) Domain availability on Namecheap/GoDaddy, (2) USPTO trademark database, (3) Social media handles on Namechk.com, (4) Google search for existing businesses, (5) State business registry if registering an LLC. All should be available before committing.

Should I use my own name for my store?

Personal names work well for personal brands, consultants, and artisans (Martha Stewart, Kate Spade). Downsides: harder to sell the business, may feel less professional for some industries, and privacy concerns. For product-focused stores, a brand name is usually better.

What domain extension should I use for my store?

.com is still king for credibility and SEO. If unavailable, consider .co, .store, or .shop for ecommerce. Country codes (.co.uk, .ca) work for local businesses. Avoid unusual extensions (.xyz, .ninja) - they can look spammy and hurt trust.
