Radio test : Your domain name should not contain ANY underscores

Domains are only valuable if they meet certain criteria, and AuthorMedia has put together a nifty guide about it all.

According to Thomas Umstattd, if you want to secure the perfect domain, it’d better fully pass the radio test:

  1. Numbers are out, they can be spelled as digits or letters.
  2. Similar sounding words, like “see” and “sea” are also out.
  3. Acronyms like YMCA or IBM are out. Or maybe not, just these two are ok, the rest aren’t.
  4. Underscores are also out.

Wait, what?

Underscores?

We don’t use any stinking underscores in domain names!

I don’t know about you but I only use underscores for my kick-ass handle on Counter-Strike. But definitely not in domains.

With domain names, you can only use letters, numbers and the humble dash “-” but domains can’t begin or end with a dash.

Simple enough? Here’s a guide.

Perhaps someone distracted Thomas, author of this guide, and added an extra bullet point for a total of seven.
