This is a very interesting read. I've never thought of the necessity of checking out the availability of social media handles. Another mistake is not considering the quality of hosting we want, and thus, we go for cheaper alternatives.

Glad you enjoyed the article. In most cases cheaper does not equal quality. It's a good idea to consider the level of customer support offered by the hosting provider, as you may need assistance with your website at some point. It's also a good idea to consider the scalability of your hosting plan, as your website's needs may change over time.

The shorter the better for sure! It's also a good idea to try a purchase other versions of your domain name with other extensions and have them point to your website if you can.
