 | View Full Version : For native English speakers -eg- 05-08-2002, 05:16 AM Hi, What do you think about the slogan "Web Hosting To the Net"? I'm not a native English speaking person, so I can't value it :rolleyes: Thanks! /eg NetXL 05-08-2002, 05:28 AM Doesn't really make sense to me. Unless web hosting was previously available on a non-internet environment. :p -eg- 05-08-2002, 05:49 AM Thanks NetXL. Any other opinions? /eg JTY 05-08-2002, 09:52 AM I'm with NetXL on this one. It doesn't quite make sense. Although, I do think I know what you mean. How 'bout, "Web Hosting to the Max", that might be more understandable? ADEhost 05-08-2002, 12:31 PM first feeling I got was " hu? " this is the problem with that slogan web hosting = the net so you are repeating it. the first feeling I think you desire is " that's for sure " or " you are right" a good slogan you could use is " big service, big servers, fast pipe and affordable hosting " the above is slogan I created but got tossed because of a few better ones ( try creating about 20 slogans, then refine and toss a few away, then have a cigar, chat with folks, then look at your slogans again ) Mike viGeek 05-08-2002, 01:13 PM "Web Hosting For The Net" Sounds right :) mantra 05-08-2002, 01:15 PM Originally posted by -eg- Hi, What do you think about the slogan "Web Hosting To the Net"? Initial reaction was confusing. It really doesn't make sense. I guess you gotta get used to it :D Abu Mami 05-08-2002, 02:03 PM As a native English speaker, it seems OK to me. One adjustment, change "to" to "for". That is, "Web hosting for the net". Now, just because I say it sounds OK to me, doesn't mean that it makes sense. I've seen lots of slogans that really don't make sense, but they sound good. In fact, a number of firms that post here and advertise here have slogans that don't make sense when you really think about them. It seems to me that a slogan should be catchy and make you think. It's happened to me before that I've seen a catchy slogan, and only later did I start thinking about how it didn't make sense. I guess the slogan did it's job because I was thinking about it.

Even if you change it to "for the net," it just states the obvious... leaving nothing particularly memorable about it. And, it says nothing about what differentiates your services from anyone else's. It's sort of like this slogan: "Putting your web site on our server!" :) code_renegade 05-08-2002, 02:47 PM Yep, I agree with the guys on this one that it seems to be a repition of the words "web hosting". After all, web hosting IS the net, isn't it? ;) Something along the lines of "community web hosting" will make more sense, which I somehow feel is what you are trying to convey. Correct me if I'm wrong. JayC 05-08-2002, 04:55 PM Originally posted by avium After all, web hosting IS the net, isn't it? I don't disagree with your main point but still... no, it's not. And the web isn't the net, while it has become the most popular of the services accessible via the Internet. But probably I just have an old-school point of view, from having been a 'net user before there was a "world wide web."

Sometimes, not exactly making sense, makes it a bit more catchy (though I can't think of any examples off-hand. I don't believe this is one of those times unfortunately, sorry. What exactly are you trying to convey? -eg- 05-09-2002, 12:07 AM What exactly are you trying to convey? Actually I got wh2.net domain name and think on how to deal with it. :cool: /eg ADEhost 05-09-2002, 12:20 AM Originally posted by -eg- Actually I got wh2.net domain name and think on how to deal with it. :cool: /eg WH2 = W= web, whale, wanted, wonderful, wacky .... look arond your area and work up the letter W H = house, home, handy, hosting ..... well I got this whalehosting too dot net ( nice logo you can make whale with a fisherman casting his net, or a whale and an inside image of a person with a laptop over candle light reading his e-mail ) webhouse two dot net ( call it the second comming ) my favorite and kinda slangish what happen 2 logo a guy with a black eye, the character looks like a hacker so that way you present safety or a net over someone. please forgive my ideas, they have a slant for TV broadcasting.

However WH2 conveys the idea to me of the mathematical figure "squared" (eg 12 squared or 12(2) = 144) so to me the WH2 = 'Web-hosting squared' or extra value ie more than just any old single web-hosting business. :D -eg- 05-09-2002, 03:35 AM Originally posted by grandad However WH2 conveys the idea to me of the mathematical figure "squared" (eg 12 squared or 12(2) = 144) so to me the WH2 = 'Web-hosting squared' or extra value ie more than just any old single web-hosting business. :D Yeah, I already meditated on it :) To square disk space, bandwidth and price as well :D /eg Abu Mami 05-09-2002, 04:33 AM Originally posted by -eg- To square disk space, bandwidth and price as well :DHmm, what's the square of unlimited?
