It allows others to remember the name quickly, and on the other hand, it will express a sense of who you are and what service you are providing.

For example, if you have any technology-related company that is going to make its website and suppose the name of the company is Dive In Technology.

Then you can have a domain with an extension related to your industry, which is technology, thus “.tech” can be used with the name of your domain.

Now the name of the company is Dive In, so you can make a domain named “www.divein.tech.” 

Now, this domain reflects the name of your company, Dive In which has a contextual meaning that the company gives you detailed information, 

And the extension which is used in the domain is indicating your industry, which is about technology.
