A word modifier is a great way to get the perfect and, even more importantly, available .com domain name for your business. Adding a word to your business name to get an available .com domain name is a much better option than settling for one of the lesser used .biz and .us top-level domains (TLDs). The most common and well known TLD is .com. We analyzed the top million most popular web URLs across the world in May 2022 and found that nearly 60% had .com for a domain name extension. The second most popular TLD was .net with 15% of the million most popular domain names. Those were the only two top-level domains with more than 10% share as the third highest, .org, was only used by 3% of the most popular web sites. Most of the other top domains are the non-US foreign extensions like .uk, .ru, and even .be (which is used by organizations in the country of Belgium and others like youtu.be). Only a few of the global top one million most popular web sites in May 2022 had a TLD like .biz or .info.
Two major brands in the U.S. with similar names are Frontier Communications and Frontier Airlines. Surely, they both would like to have frontier.com as their domain name but it can only belong to one company and that is Frontier Communications. The telecommunications company purchased the domain name in 1992. Frontier Airlines purchased the domain name they use for their web site, flyfrontier.com, in 1996. “Fly” is a great example of a word modifier. It speaks to what they do as a business, but it is also shorter than “airlines” which they own as well with the domain name frontierairlines.com. The “fly” modifier in the domain name is advertising for their business. It is a call to action which is often an important aspect of effective advertising. Every time the customer sees it or types the URL into their browser, they are being told to take a flight on the airline.
