What’s a Domain Name?
A domain name is how people find your church online: It’s the address of your website on the internet. Just like your home has a street address so people can find it, your website needs a domain name so people can visit it.
Choosing a good name for your website is very important. Your name should tell people who you are and what you’re about.

Choosing the Right Name for Your Website
Below are some simple but important tips for a church when choosing a domain name:
- Keep it simple and memorable – Shorter names are easier for people to remember and type without mistakes.
- Use your church’s actual name – Try to match your church name as closely as possible to avoid confusion. If it’s long, consider an abbreviation that members already use.
- Avoid numbers, dashes, or symbols – These make it harder to remember and can cause typos.
- Choose the right extension –
.orgis common for churches, but.comor newer extensions like.churchmay also work well. - Make it location-friendly if needed – If your church shares a name with others, add your city or state (e.g., GraceBaptistDallas.org).
- Think about searchability – A name that includes “church” plus your city can help people find you online.
- Check availability early – Make sure the domain is not already taken and secure it before you begin building the site.
- Protect your brand – If possible, buy multiple extensions (.org, .com, .net) to prevent confusion.
