Custom Domain
What is domain?
A domain is the website address, also called a URL, where people can find your website on the internet.
For every user that registered using Pages, we will provide our user with their own subdomain in the format https://yourprojectsubdomain.landigram.com. If you didn't use your own domain this will be set as your primary domain.
This domain will be used for your customers/traffic to access your website. We recommend you to buy your own custom domain to build credibility and trust with your customers.
Where should I buy my own domain?
You can buy your own domain from others domain registrar like Namecheap, Godaddy etc.
Some domain registrar have advantages like excellent customer service, cheap domains etc. So remember to choose wisely.
👨🎓 Tips: Make sure the domain name that you buy will be easy for customers to write and remember. This will help you gain more organic traffic for your website.
What domain name do I need to buy?
Make sure your domain name does not have a hyphen ( -) symbol.
This is because domains that have a hyphen ( -) symbol are often symbolized/categorized as domain spam.
Domains that have this symbol will also always have a typo while the customer/buyer is typing.
Make sure you use a .com domain because a .com domain makes it easier for your customers/buyers to find your website.
In addition, each mobile phone also has a .com button and it can make it easier for your customers/buyers to type in the URL of your website.
Note: If there is no .com domain, you can use the .com.my domain instead.
Make sure your domain name is short and easy to remember and called
Domain that is short and easy to remember can reduce typos typed by customers/buyers.
We recommend that your domain name be no longer than 15 words.
Make sure your domain name is unique and has its own brand
Attractive domains can attract people to come to your website.
For example, Amazon.com looks more attractive than BuyBooksOnline.com.
