Something like iamhappy.com or i-am-happy.com ?

Actually I feel that i-am-happy.com is much better.

Hmmm, so let's say i am aiming for a directory.
So would sgsmallbusiness.com or sg-smallbusiness.com be better.
sg stands for singapore.

I would have thought sg stood for solidghost. To answer your question, probably the one with the hyphen.

Normally without a hyphen is better.
But I thing that sg-smallbusiness.com is better here.
Don't want people to think that it's sgs-mallbusiness...

Hyphens are always better when you have multiple words though.

I'm thinking more for SEO and less for cosmetics.

Doesn't have such a big impact on SEO.
But does have an effect if you have 1 or 2 keywords in your domain name.

It's better for SEO if you do use the hyphens. It doesn't make that much of a difference though.

Read from one of the other forums. I think from some book, so I can only quote part of it.

"Search engines do not read the words in your URL if they are ran together. Many webmasters separate the words in their domain names using dashes. In the past the domain name itself was a significant ranking factor. As search engines have advanced it is not very significant factor anymore."
