      I know that best practice is to keep your domain short, but is there an actual suggested character ballpark when coming up with one? Any thoughts are appreciated.

          Hi,

          https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain

          In avobe article it is mentioned that domain word count shouldn't be more than 15 characters.

          Hope this helps.

          Thanks
