I don't want to give away the actual domain name so I am using substitutes, but essentially the choice is between the following:

howtousecrypto.com

or

cryptoguides.com

I first chose the first domain as I liked it because I thought it was kind of catchy and easy to remember, but now I am going back and forth on which one i should use.

If you were me, which one would you choose? Which one would be better for SEO. Which one is easier to remember? Etc, etc, etc. All that good stuff.

Thanks!

They both contain main topic and contextually are the same in my opinion.

From SEO perspective, not much difference unless those are exact match keywords. Then choice is easy.

From Branding perspective, I would go for shorter one.

I think the second domain is prettier and better because it's shorter and has 'crypto' at the beginning

The first domain doesn't seem like a domain name it looks like a long keyword how to use crypto?

So better go with the 2nd Domain and build it you can get the effective results

Unless you already have an existing established brand name, you want to go for as few words as possible, and as concise as possible. So your second example is the one I would choose.

I liked the second one. It is easy to read, get idea about the website and clearly states the purpose also. First one looks just random spammy domain.

Second one is good and sound brandable. It is easy to remember too.
