Should i keep the domain name or get a new one


Okay well i have been thinking on what to call my web hosting business and came up with some names so.

I thought of cbchosting.com but was not available.

I thought of chrisclarkwebhosting.com its available but its to long.

So i thought of chrishosting.com which is what i bought and now have.

but later down the road i found out that someone already bought it before me and was using it to open there hosting business. And now that they went back to their original planned site. But unsure what their new site is or if its the same name which is making me wonder if i should keep this name or make up something else

what do you think of this matter

Thank You
-Chris

chrishosting one is good.
If you can afford it, why not just get cbchosting and the other one as well? Domains are relatively cheap now a days - no need to deprive yourself of domain advantages.

I'm a little confused, Which domain are you talking about here?

I have no idea what field you are mention about for your domain name. But, everyone likes short name because it's easy to remember, i think your chrishosting.com is alright.

can you find out anything about the old site

It could be that the previous owner never use the domain for anything... Or the domain could have been abandoned because the sites reputation was mud! Are there any reviews of the old site still lingering on the web, can you find an old web shot from the previous owner.
I suggest doing some research and figuring out what to do from there.
Best wishes
-oh and I do think that in and of itself chrishosting is a great domain

If you own ChrisHosting.com you should use that. It's a good choice of domain. Forget about whatever the previous owner wants to do (he doesn't own the domain).

If you own the domain and want too use it, use it! It's honestly their fault for not renewing it.

You can search for past records from the web. Just GOOGLE the domain name and any online records will be shown and you can better know what the domain activities where before you bought it.
