Question #N338

The first step in designing a website for a new company is choosing a domain name. Choosing the right domain name can be tricky; it is important to make sure that the domain name is available, easy to remember, and relevant to the company’s brand. A domain name that is too long or too complicated can be difficult for customers to recall. For example, a company that sells home goods might choose a domain name such as “homegoods.com” or “homegoodsshop.com” rather than a domain name such as “homegoodsemporiumandwarehouse.com.” What is the most likely reason why the author includes the example of domain names in the text?
