Why domain names are important?

[checkerpatterson]

I work as a writer for a technological website. Recently, my boss has asked all the employees to brain storm and comeup with a name for his upcoming website. He was basically planning to launch a blog and an online store. We came up with different names. However, he did not like any of them. I was wondering what is there to think over domain names. Any word can be included, right? Can anyone please explain me the importance of domain names? All I know is that they should be related to the website’s niche. Is there something else?

The domain name is good for branding too. If you have good budget it's better to buy a brandable domain. With enough money, you can make a brand from your idea.

However, you must choose .com domains if you are planning to a job like this.
