It is advisable to keep your domain name fairly short - it will need to be easy to remember and since it ought to appear on all your church publicity you won't want it to take up more space than it needs to.

Try to stick to two or three words - for example www.stjohnshillingdon.org.uk

Make it easy to remember - if someone sees it on your notice board you don't want them to have forgotten by the time they get home.

Steer clear of domains that look like they are hosted on your home Internet provider - for example www.mychurch.blueyonder.co.uk - you will want your site to look as though it belongs to the church rather than an individual.

Be prepared to get creative when finding a domain name - a lot of churches have websites these days and you may find that your first choices are already in use.
