Each and every .COACH domain name comes with all you need to get online.
- Domain Forwarding and Masking: Direct any domain name you own to your website. Anyone who types that domain name into their browser is taken directly to your website.
- Domain Locking: Domain locking prevents accidental or intentional transfers of domain ownership and stops anyone from redirecting your nameservers.
- Total DNS Control: Manage your domain nameserver (DNS) records and set your email, FTP, sub-domains and website location all from one control panel.
- Change of Registration: Assign your domain name to someone else or change the contacts for your domain online anytime.
- Status Alerts: Monitor the status of your domain and get instant alerts if there’s been a change.
- Auto Renew Protection: No need to watch expiration dates to make sure you renew on time! Auto renew keeps your domains, hosting, website builders, and other products in your name and under your control.
- Free WHOIS privacy protection: We redact your name, address, phone number and email from our WHOIS directory.
Registering a .COACH domain name can help you stand out in the coaching industry. Here are some tips to guide you in choosing and registering the perfect .COACH domain:
1. Keep It Short and Memorable
- Opt for a domain name that is concise, easy to spell, and memorable.
- Example: LifeSkills.coach or CareerPath.coach
- Avoid overly long or complex names, which may confuse potential visitors.
2. Align the Name with Your Niche
- Ensure the domain name reflects your area of expertise or services.
- Examples:
- FitnessGuru.coach for fitness coaching.
- BusinessGrowth.coach for business coaching.
- Examples:
- A descriptive name can instantly communicate what you offer.
3. Use Keywords for Better Discoverability
- Incorporate relevant keywords related to coaching in your domain name to improve search visibility.
- Example: ExecutiveLeadership.coach or ParentingHelp.coach.
- Be specific, but avoid stuffing too many keywords into the name.
4. Check for Trademark Issues
- Ensure your chosen domain name doesn’t infringe on any trademarks. A trademarked name could lead to legal disputes or domain forfeiture.
5. Prioritize Simplicity and Avoid Hyphens
- Avoid special characters, numbers, or hyphens, which can make your domain harder to remember or type.
- Example: Prefer CareerCoach.coach over Career-Coach.coach.
6. Verify Social Media Handle Availability
- Check if the corresponding usernames or handles are available on social media platforms.
- Consistent branding across your website and social profiles builds trust and recognition.
7. Consider Future Expansion
- Choose a name that allows room for growth.
- Instead of WeightLossCoach.coach, consider something broader like HealthyLiving.coach to accommodate a wider range of coaching services.
8. Register Variations to Protect Your Brand
- If possible, register similar domain variations or related extensions (e.g., .COM, .NET).
- Redirect these variations to your .COACH domain to protect your brand and capture more traffic.
9. Pay Attention to Renewal Costs
- Some niche domains like .COACH have higher renewal fees. Verify the cost before committing to ensure it fits your budget.
10. Add SSL Security
- Purchase an SSL certificate to secure your website. This ensures your domain is recognized as secure (with “https://”) and builds visitor trust.
11. Redirect to an Existing Website
- If you already have a website on another domain, you can use the .COACH domain to redirect traffic to your existing site, helping reinforce your coaching brand.
Next Steps
- Use a domain name search tool to check availability.
- Act quickly—niche domains can be snapped up quickly due to their specificity.
- Once registered, set up professional email addresses (e.g., info@yourdomain.coach) to enhance your professional image.
