Just worked on a Tennis Club website and discovered that the generic name "wintertennis.com" is available! Could it be that "indoor tennis" is a better term for the sports or is it just that nobody has noticed this gem out there?

Winter is a season, tennis is a sport, the two don't go together and there's no meaning by putting them together. I'm sure wintersoccer.com, winterfootball.com, and winterbasketball.com are all available as well, though I didn't bother to check. Indoor tennis is played indoors, during the winter or any other month. In other words, I don't think it is a jem personally.
This isn't to say you couldn't use the domain in some way, to describe a winter league of some sort, just that you'd have to use it in a way that makes sense. It would seem to describe 'when' the tennis takes place (the winter months), rather than 'where' (indoors).

Chicken,
Thanks for your input. The name of my client is XXX (place-name) Winter Tennis Club and their website is xxxwintertennis.com! I'm not a tennis fan (not even a sports fan at all), so I frankly don't know which is the appropriate term for this kind of activities. A search with Overture shows that "indoor tennis" returns with 272 searches while "winter tennis" 0! Again, thanks for your feedback.

If you think there is such a thing as a free meal, you must be the chef's son.

Has my signature been "beheaded"?
I seem to remember that it was something like:
hkg.net SOLD for US$5,000
http://www.nameslave.com
Am I wrong or does it violate any rule of this board?
