Domain name will affect SEO

Hi

This is an story of several mistakes

I bought this domain 5 months ago from bluehost: viacuarenta.com, that was going to be about the carnival of barranquilla (i am from colombia). However it never went live because my partner/brother never did his part.

Three months later I need to create a website for my wife and without the proper research I chose to buy from bluehost another domain with the existing hosting. But she asked my other brother to make a software inside the webpage and it happens that bluehost doesn´t support aspx.net that is what he codes. They finally gave up in bluehost and bought the domain and hosting from other provider. (that i will have to pay as well)

Now I have 2 domains pointing to the same hosting. The initial domain I can use it as a brand for anything, the second one I will transfer it once 60 days have passed of its creation.

I want to use the domain and hosting for another subject, one that is myself alone and I will start creating content. What would happen to SEO If I start posting now and when the viacuarenta domain finishes I change to another name? I am asking only about SEO, not about the brand

Thanks

  • In terms of SEO yes the domain name has quite a big impact in it, of course its just my opinion.

    For .aspx you need a windows server environment and bluehost does not offer one so far I'm aware.
  • If I understand correctly it's a bad plan.

    Don't start a site on one domain with a plan to move it to another domain when the registration runs out.

    The links you build will be lost when you move domains unless you keep the old domain and setup 301 redirects.

    If starting a new site pick the best domain name for the site and register it. You current old domains which haven't been used hold no SEO value. age of a domain per se is irrelevant, only thing that matters is if there's content on it now and the backlinks.

    I have domains that are 5+ years old that I've not built anything on, they have no SEO value.

    If I understand correctly let the domains you haven't used expire unless you have a plan for them or have content and links to them.

  • ypu can always do a change of address in webmaster tools and point the old domain to the new but you lose at least 10-20% of the link juice and domain authority when redirecting

  • Yes.

    There are two primary ways your domain will impact your future SEO efforts and search rankings:

    Keywords
    Branding
  • You may get a higher chance to rank if you have relevant keywords on URL. Actually we do seo for web pages or content. if you do seo for expiring domain then its upon you.
