Hmmm domain name is really a crucial choice to make for a good lasting impression..
I guess take something like techstuff.in or something like that ..

[amol48]

Naveen.. you don want it to be country-specific and are still open to .us domains! Didn't understand this!

Anyways how's wegeek.com or wegeeks.com or just vgeeks.com

Go for name.com IMO. A bit pricey than GoDaddy but still lot better than it. I personally have 4 domains at name.com and two at Godaddy and man, Godaddy literally takes ages to load their domain manager on my 256kbps connection!

Domain has nothing to do with page loading. Page loading depend on your host provider.

I am not saying that Godaddy is slow or anything as such! Of course I understand that site loading is dependant of host only. I meant to say that the admin panel of Godaddy takes ages to load and hence if he buy it from then it will be difficult for him to manage that domain... I hope this clears it now

Just try to get your keyword in your domain name then. That's it! Nothing else matters! But you might want to keep it short so that it's easier for visitors and also try to avoid hyphens..

.us domain is only allowed to be registered by the residents of United States. Legally.

You pretty much sound confused. If you're planning to start a common, non-niche-targeted site then there's no such thing as "SEO friendly name" or keyword rich domain for you. It'd be more about branding. Don't hope for some really good domain name suggestion here, if a person would know he would register it for himself. Many won't even bother to check if the domain name is available or not.

C'mon, think! Domain name doesn't even need to make sense when it comes to branding, as long as it's unique and easy to remember.

Domain branding is good only for big companies or if you have some out-of-the-box idea for your site that might help you get quick publicity. Otherwise KEYWORDS ARE important for search engine rankings.

And yes, there IS SEO friendly domain name and keyword rich domain thing!

Agree with you....
Godaddy control panel is bulky and loads slowly....

Re-read what I said. When it comes to mere non-targeted niche and pretty generic, there is no need of keyword rich domain - heck, there'd be no keyword to target as he's kind of making a blog hosting for his friends. And where did I said there's no such thing keyword rich domains in general? That said, I've been a webmaster since years before your knowledge center DP, SP, WF, BH pop-out, I'm not some random newbie who'd give out false information to people so don't be jumpy on me.

And that .US domain thing, I'll quote you the recently talked Godaddy, agreement page. Also note I said "LEGALLY", any registrar can 'cancel' your .us domain if they find out you're not a US resident.

http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/legal_...geid=DOMAIN_NC

5. provisions specific to .US registrations

You, the Registrant, shall indemnify and hold harmless NeuStar, the .US Registry, and its directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, affiliates, and stockholders from and against any and all claims, suits, actions, other proceedings, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind, including without limitation reasonable legal fees and expenses, arising out of or relating to the Registrant's (i) .US domain name registration and (ii) use of any .US registered domain name.
The New Registrant certifies that it meets the following Nexus Requirements to qualify to register to use a .US domain name.

A. Registrants must be either:

1. 1. A natural person (i) who is a United States citizen, (ii) who is a permanent resident of the United States of America or any of its possessions or territories, or (ii) whose primary place of domicile is in the United States of America or any of its possessions, or;
   2. An entity or organization that is (i) incorporated within one of the fifty (50) U.S. states, the district of Columbia, or any of the United States possessions or territories or (ii) organized or otherwise constituted under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or any of its possessions (including a federal, state, or local government of the United States, or a political subdivision thereof, and non-commercial organizations based in the United States), or;
   3. A foreign entity or organization that has a bona fide presence in the United States of America or any of its possession or territories that also (i) regularly engages in lawful activities (sales of goods or services or other business, commercial or non-commercial including not-for-profit activities) in the Unites States, or (ii) maintains an office or other property within the United States.
