Descriptive domain names (eg BeInWebDesign.com)

Descriptive domain names can be easier to develop because the subject or services of the website is clear to anyone who reads the web address.

Although descriptive domains tend to be longer, they can be perceived as being more relevant to the task at hand, especially when a potential clients is looking for specific services. Keyword research is important when you choosing a descriptive domain name, because visitors often think about the same subject using slightly different language. lets see this example from our website major, people search for ‘web design company’ more than ‘web development company’, more people search for ‘web development company’ than ‘IT company’ and more people search for ‘IT company’ than ‘information technology company’.

Generic domain names (eg Hotels.com, Cars.com)
Generic domain names are the holy grail for marketing purposes, since they are both short and descriptive. Generic domain names can receive significant type-in traffic, from people speculatively typing the domain name into their browser address bar. but all of these domain names type are Premium and its very expinseve when you find one for sale especially in .com or .net TLD, but the good news is you can find Generic domain names in new TLD like :.shop, .online, .club, .xyz, .site , .tech, .live, .cloud and more! thats what we will talk about in next part.
TLD (Top Level Domain)
TLD is the domain name extension, the part of a domain name that comes after the dot. saedx.com has the .com TLD, and domain.edu.jo has the .edu.jo TLD. The .com and .net TLD are the most popular tld, and has become almost synonymous with the internet. but today there is more than 100 new tld such as .me, .online, .company, and much more, which called Generic top-level domains (gTLDs). all countries have country-specific extensions, such as the Jordan .jo tld.

the Responsibility for management of tld is delegated to specific organizations by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which operates the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), and is in charge of maintaining the DNS root zone.
