It's really simple. Use MyCrypto instead of Myetherwallet. It's made by the same team, It looks the same and it has more improvements so there is no reason why you wouldn't use it.

I haven't seen a single phishing attempt yet targeting Mycrypto, most likely because hackers are not really aware of it as of now as not many people use it. Either way, the domain name is shorter so It's unlikely that you'll fall it.
This is not really a way to try to avoid losing your coins, you are relying on that website to remain unknown forever, what it is going to happen when that website becomes popular and hackers see an opportunity to make money with it? You're going to have the very same problem that you have with myetherwallet, just bookmark the myetherwallet website, it is easier and it is safer than to try another website.
