A domain does matters for SEO. The most important building block of SEO is the structure of URLs and domains. Some of the good SEO practices for the domain are:
1) keep single domain and sub-domains
2) Make it readable
3) try to join it with Keyword
4) If possible, exclude dynamic parameters
5) Try to match URLs to Page titles.
I didn't knew that using hyphens between domain isn't good. I had planned a domain name with hyphen. It's better that I change it now.
