To make it short....
I'm searching now already 3 months for a good name for a hosting company...

But anything seems to exist!

Anybody had inspiration...?

Thnx,

FiberOptic

Keep looking. Devote time and brainstorm with others.
It doesn't have to have "Host" in the name to work.
It's more what you do with the company than it is the companies name.
Of course, it *can have host in the name. You can't be fiberoptic.com, but you can be fiberoptichost.com. And even fiberoptichosting.com. But, strange as it may seem, you can't be fiberoptichosting.net.
Good luck. But there are a lot of good names available. You just have to pick one.

Actually the name I came up with, I did so before I ever thought about the hosting business. :) Everything seemed to just fall in place.

Not only will you find deleted domains, but it will get you to thinking of similar names you like better.


I really wish you hadn't started this thread. My reply got me thinking, so off I went and just purchase three more domains.

A little bit of fusion might help. There is a company here in Atlanta and their entire model was geared toward a focus on the future. Then they came up with Accenture....pretty clever (Accent on the future). Maybe you could try and come up with something that way....Just an idea.
