Choosing the right travel blog name is very important, because your travel blog name is the first impression youโll make on potnetial readers.
To make a good impression, youโll need a memorable, catchy, and unique name that will stand out and will be memorable in peopleโs mind.
If you want to start a blog, and start the blog building process first, itโs definitely possible and very easy!
You can start a blog now and choose a name later once you are setteled with the perfect name.

Travel Blog Names Tips:
1. Use a .com Domain
Letโs be honest, most of us remember websites with a .com at the end since it is more popular more than choosing a .org, .co, .net, etc.ย
But of course, if a .com domain isnโt available, you can choose the other endings too, but try to find a .com domain since itโs the most common and standered domain name which looks the most professional.
2. Donโt use numbers or hyphens
By this I mean to actually not use numbers or hyphens in your travel blog name since it looks very unproffessional and confusing to your audience.
For example, as you can tell, my domain name is travel-by-maya.com, originally I wanted travelbymaya.com but that domain was taken. So instead of doing travelbymaya101.com for example, I chose my domain to be travel-by-maya.com since it looks more professional.
3. Make sure your name is available on social media
Before you register your domain, make sure it is available on social media platforms. This isnโt a complete dealbreaker, but if your name isnโt available it might be harder for people to find you.
But once again, in my opnion this isnโt a deal breaker and I wouldnโt give up a name if itโs taken on social media.
4. Avoid choosing an overused name
Since the travel blogging industry contains many bloggers and influencers, there are a lot of blogs with similar names.
Even though it can get hard, because there are many bloggers and many travel blog names taken, try avoiding using an overused name and try picking something more unique that will stand out.
5. Keep your travel blog name simple
Once again, make sure your travel blog name is simple, catchy, and memorable. Whatever you choose, make sure itโs also not too long and that itโs an easy to remember and to pronounce name.
6. Choose a kind of general travel blog name
If you start your travel blog as an affordable travel blog, donโt name your blog โAffordable Travelingโ for example, because maybe in the future youโll grow to a luxury travel blog, and then the โAffordable Travelingโ blog name wonโt fit anymore.
Pick a name that you can grow with from the start, and that doesnโt limit you with your niche or in general with your blog.

What to do After You Chose a Travel Blog Name?
Now the fun part begins! Finally, starting your blog! Once you have your travel blog name, itโs time to start building your blog!
If after this blog post, and the travel blog name ideas list you still havenโt found the perfect travel blog name, thatโs fine too! Donโt stress about it.
You can actually set up your blog name, then pick a name later once you decide on the perfect name.
Your next step at the beginning of your blogging journey is to register your domain name (if youโve decided on one) and get web hosting for it.
A domain name through an outside company will cost around $15-$20 for it. However, a great way to get around it is to sign up for web hosting through Bluehostย (my most recommended web hosting provider I use for all of my blogs), where you will get a FREE DOMAIN NAME!
I use Bluehost for both of my blogs, and also for other blogs I had in the past. I am very satisfied with their reliable service, amazing customer support, and from the research, I did they also offer some of the cheapest web hosting plans on the market!
Also, if the free domain isnโt enough,ย Bluehostย is offering Travel By Mayaโs readersโ web hosting starting at $3.95 a month (normally $7.99 a month) along with a free domain name and free email address.

Select Your Hosting Planย
As a new blogger, pick the Basic Plan. I personally have the Plus Plan because I have more than one blog. But if you are just starting out, or if you are not interested in having more than one blog, the basic plan is perfect for you! In the future, you can always upgrade your plan if you are interested.ย
Insert Your Domain Nameย
This is your place to place the domain name you decided on earlier. Just write your domain name in the โCreate a New Domainโ section and get going!
If you didnโt decide on a domain name yet, and you want to wait a little bit longer before you decide, no worries. Wait a few minutes and this offer will pop up on your screen. Just click the โChoose Free Domain Laterโ button and move on.
Create Your Accountย
Just fill in all of the needed information to create your Bluehost account.ย
Pick Your Package And Payย
This is where youโll select your hosting plan and pay for it. Honestly, the 36-month plan is the best deal at $3.95 a month, but if you donโt want to commit for that long, you can also pick a 12-month plan at $5.95 a month for an overall lower cost.ย
