Hey, I just registered a new domain, I plan on using WEBHOSTINC.NET instead of my old domain nywebhost.com, How would you rate it?

Thanks,

Pete

Hi peteny,

If it was a .com, i would have given it a higher vote.

This considered, i have it a 'decent name' vote.

Yeah, if it was .com :)

You cant even register random letters in .com nowadays :(

There are plenty of good .com's available and thousands deleted every day.

As to the name you posted, I would place no value on it. Basically, if I got it for free, I would not use it. Too hard to verbally tell someone the name webhostinc.net. Also, .net reduces value.

Personally I have a different opinion about .NET domains; I think they are great for all sorts of ISP/Hosting/Design related entities. Also the .net initiative (read: de facto new standard) by Microsoft will substantially boost their value.

I have nothing against the "inc" suffix when it does not compete, sound-wise or visually with the prefix; however in your case I find the name a bit cluttered.

Overall: 2 out of 5.

I think that's an exagerrated statement :D

would you recommend nywebhost.com or webhostinc.net?

I hate "inc" and anything but .com personally.

Inc turns away and is a bit off. It would be a better domain if it had a more meaningful point rather than just 'webhosting'

I wouldn't fancy having it in .net either. .com is a prefered.
