It is the first thing to do. To throw your doubt and ensure you about what domain name you will choose. You must have a reason to register a domain name, and you will find here.

Find your own answer, then we will go to next step. The questions above will have some answers, and there are different solution for every answer. So, let me guess your answer here.

"My website is just weblog, I create it to tell my story and i never thought to make money from that"

If that is your answer, so i have some tips for you..
1. Don't make it crucial. You just create a weblog to tell your story, then name it as you like. Or name it by a word that describe it.
2. If you still confused. Your name or nickname or maybe your childhood nickname is good for your blog domain. Something unique is good for weblog domain.
3. The extension? .me is good extension for weblog domain.

"My website is blog, I create it to share my knowledge & experience in my section/topic/niche/hobby/interest. I don't make money as prioritize, i just want to be popular early."

That's good purpose. Then, i suggest you to do this..
1. Your name is good choice for domain name. You want become a popular, right? then, i think it is good to popular as your self. So, you will be known in your niche as a 'Master' or 'Specialist'. 2. The extension? .me is still good extension for this kind of website. But, .com and .net can also be your alternative.

"My website is article-sharing website, I create it to share articles in a section/topic. I want make money as prioritize and build a popular brand in that topic."

Authority Website. Yep, that is how people call it.
1. Your brand name. It is if you have a fixed brand before. So, use it for domain name.
2. If you don't have a brand name yet, then create one. Create a unique brand name that cool, easy to remember and relevant in your topic. You also can create it by acronym of some words in your topics. For example, Domain wikihow.com that taken from "Wiki how to do anything".
3. And good extension for authority website is .com, .biz and .net. But if in your brand have a "info" or "information" phrase, it is good if you choose .info extension.

"My website is blog, I create it to write tips and review articles about small topic/certain product. I want make money as prioritize from affiliate program & and google adsense"

Micro-niche Blog. That is how people call it.
1. Your product review or small topic name. I very recommend you to use it for your domain name, because it will be main keyword of website and pretty good for SEO. And SEO is the first necessary thing for this kind of website.
2. Short and Clear. Anyway, your domain name must be short and clear though it contain keywords, so people can easy to remember it. Remember that some peoples visit your website by typing domain in the browser address bar.
3. The extension for this kind of website is all Top level Domain. indeed, .com and .net is still prioritized. But, for micro-niche blog, that extensions commonly have registered and used by other people in same domain name you want. So, use other TLD because the point is keyword in your domain name.

"My website is Online Shop, I create it to sell products in my brand, No matter it is my own product or i just dropshiper/reseller. I just want to make money with sell products and popularize my brand".

Cool business idea. Before register a domain, make sure you get this ..
1. Your brand name. same like authority website, if you have a fixed brand before. So, use it for domain name. But, it is not better than the below (number 2) choice.
2. Kind of product name + your brand name or your name or other unique name = The best brand name for domain. Yep. that is the best domain formula for your ecommerce website. It because the keyword and brand fill your domain name. Good for SEO and also for a brand name. In addition, people will easy to remember that if you make it short and clear too.
3. The best domain for this kind of website is .com That's all. For now, i only guess for 5 answer. I will update it if i find another answer from you. So, type your answer of the 3 questions i mentioned above in the comment, and i will give you some suggestions.
