I'm in the process of setting up my hosting company, but i'm having troubles thinking of a name for it.

...

any suggestions? I don't want anything tacky.. just something short, simple, but effective, although all suggestions are welcome.

Please help me out :)

I guess it depends on what domains are available. Have a go at firing "hosting" and some related/buzz words into the domain suggestor at http://www.whois.sc/ - you should get some decent results.

You could always go for some sort of regional name...

Just don't go for something overused like 1337zorhosting.com and get a $15 template to go with it.

WGH Webgamerzhosting.com ???

If that is the audience you are aiming at...
Think about who are are aiming at and pick a name that will appeal to them...

my hosting co will have nothing to do with webgamerz.com.. i also don't have a general audience of which i'm aiming at.

that thing is actually very helpful.. thanks for the link!

what do you guys think of NetCab?

*edit: sorry for the triple post

Izan, It'd be a good idea to make sure any names you ask about here you already register...I wouldn't trust everyone here not to run and register your domain if you ask about one that's not already registered.

Oooh, anyone wanna buy NetCab.com for $50?

(just kidding... I didn't register it)

Try nameboy.com

try www.deleteddomains.com

nameboy sucks anymore

i mean come on, my 8 year old is more creative than nameboy...

in fact, if ya want, ill ask him before he goes to school tomorrow what you can call yer new site ;)

http://www.whois.sc/ - that site is messed up.. it said that netcab.com is available while it isn't.. i was just about to register it =\

nameboy would be good for a domain registration site, but not really for a hosting co

Have you check the site nameboy.com? It allows you to place two words together to come up with a name.

*snickers*

i knew someone was going to do that

hey they gave me the name domainpie, isnt that a great name!

ohhh, i miss read some of the posts.. i'll check nameboy.com out

no luck yet..

it also doesnt need to be strictly hosting related, anything that's re-useable would be great (so if my hosting co failes, i can use it for a network or something)

[your town/region's name]online.com
[" "]internetservices.com


If you're willing to risk a UDRP (Domain trademark lawsuit) you might want to get a domain along these lines...

nocter.com
e1servers.net
vverio.com

Perhaps [hostherd.com] or [werehost.com] (both available as of this posting).
