What is the general concensus, if there is one, on domain names? Keep it short and sweet? Should it be a .com? What if the name I want is taken but the hyphenated version is available?

Domain registrar needed for .ca name

Keep An Eye On Hosting and Domain Renewal
I just wanted to present a little lesson I learned this week about keeping an eye on when your domain and hosting renewals come due (if you pay for yearly hosting...as I do with 2 of my websites).

Reminder: LOCK YOUR DOMAIN NAMES!
Sorry to put the subject line in bold. But I can't emphasize how important it is to ensure your domain names are locked. I'm sure many of you might be confused with this, so read it slowly or re-read it if you have to. But I'll do my best to explain it in as plain simple English as possible.

If any of you have any domain name concerns...
Don't be ashamed to ask! Although I may not be able to answer some, you can be sure I'll be glad to answer those I can...in laymans' speak!
