Hyphens or not?

[brobee]

It is better for seo to not have the dashes. Also, if you are using the domain for branding it doesn't look as good and it is hard to rember or say. Ex:

www.i-freaking-love-web-hosting.com or
www.IFreakingLoveWebHosting.com

(I hope no one owns that domain - that is just a sample)

I'm not a fan of hyphens in domains, though simply skipping them is not always the wise choice: http://humour.200ok.com.au/bad-domain-names.html

Interesting find Dan!

ipanywhere.com

But that one seems really good for me

Personally, I would prefer no hyphen domain, but it is depend individually.

Hyphen should not be placed in domain name, it put bad impression on domain name. If you can't find your desired domain name then placed any relevant single character, either start of the domain or end of the domain instead placing hyphen in the domain name.

Why do you feel this about a hyphen Ageel? I have no bad impression about domain names that are hyphenated and have seen some that were very cleverly done. On the other hand using a random character in the name seems to me to be rather desperate-and I dislike domains that use it.

if you don't have an alternative are good, i use few with hyphens.
