If you are looking for a domain name that can be easily remembered, choose one with an extension similar to .actor. You might want to choose a .actor Domain Name because it is much easier to type when compared to other extensions. Almost all keyboards have at least one key designed for ".com" but could have several dedicated keys for the other extensions.
- Choose a .actor domain name if there is any chance that you will be using the name of another actor because it could be confusing. For example, companies or anyone else looking for domains related to actors should avoid naming their website something that includes an actor's actual name. This can lead to legal issues if your site will not directly involve the entertainer.
