A practical brandable domain name checklist
A brandable domain should pass both a memory test and an operational test. It needs to sound clear, type cleanly, fit the audience, and support the identifiers the business will actually use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the radio test for a domain?
Say the domain aloud without showing its spelling. If listeners can repeat and type it correctly, it passes a basic radio test.
Does a short domain always make a better brand?
No. Short helps memory, but confusing spelling, weak meaning, poor extension fit, or trademark conflict can outweigh length.
