In terms of SEO it won't matter at all.
I'd personally take the domain withOUT hyphen because it's easier to type and remember.
no difference for seo like @praetserge knows
the choice is made for human aesthetics
personally im not a fan of hyphens in domain either.
Thanks for the clarification guys, Much appreciated.I prefer thesite. com
The domain without hyphen is better and easy to remember for me.What is your experience with the following domains, which one performs better in the eyes of Google/Search engines.
lets say people are searching for " This Site" on google
Wich one would be better?
This-Site.com
Thissite.com
Again. Free or Paid SSL has no advantage in terms of SEO.Thanks for the clarification guys, Much appreciated.
I am in the hunt for a domain and namecheap has an option to add SSL addon and i am hosting my site on cloudways which i could get free lets encrypt SSL. In terms of SEO or any other advantages, is there a big difference or you would go with Lets encrypt free version ?
