Domain Names

>> Already have a domain name? More info

A domain name is a unique identifier for your website - like your phone number is for your home, cell, or office. No 2 are alike. When selecting a domain name for your center's website(s) you will want to pick something that's memorable and useful in advertising. As with any marketing piece, you'll want to consider your audience.

Tips:

  • Be cautious of choosing a domain name that's too long.
  • Don't use acronyms or letters - they're too hard to remember (i.e. www.cpcofnc.org)
  • When advertising your domain name, capitalize words so that the reader can decipher it easily.(i.e. www.MorningStarChoices.com)
  • Stay away from domain names that are judgemental (i.e. www.NoAbortion.com or www.BabiesAreABlessing.com)

For client-focused websites, remember to keep your domain name neutral. Consider a name that is relative to your location and the issue at hand:

  • www.MyTownPregnancy.com
  • www. MyStatePregnancy.com

Or something catchy - like

  • www.GotAProblem.com
  • www.NeedSomeAnswers.com
  • www.WishYouWerent.com

For SUPPORTER websites, it's fine to use your center's operating name or something that identifies with your mission

  • www.FriendsofCenterName.org
  • www.CPCofMyTown.org

For ABORTION RECOVERY websites, consider using a domain that's relative to the program you offer. Some examples of abortion recovery domains that we've already launched are:

  • www.AgapeSetFree.com
  • www.PureGrace101.com
  • www.MyChoicetoHeal.com
  • www.AlreadyMadetheChoice.org
