Website Name

[Ryan412]

I'm created a car website and I can't come up with a name that's catchy and every name I do like is already taken. Any ideas?

What is your site going to be about?

Here are some ideas for brainstorming words that you can include in your domain name:

1) What is your website offering its audience?
2) What is the main subject of your website?
3) Who do you intend to attract to your website?
4) Why is your website different than the competition (what's your spin)?

After you've come up with a list go to Domain Search - BustAName to enter those words. It will generate random combinations of the words that you enter, and may provide you with some ideas that you haven't come up with yet.

Also, try appending the domain names that are taken with words like online, blog, central, hub, dotcom, to see if you can use the words that you'd like, just modified.

Hope that this helps out.

Well, Finding that perfect domain name is going to be harder.

List of things to consider:

- Don’t use words that would cause a repeat letter (ie; legallawyers.com would be bad because people wouldn’t be sure whether or not to repeat the ‘L’)

- Don’t use hyphens.

- Try to avoid using any words that don’t mean something to someone who doesn’t already know you. Keep in mind that no one else cares that you’re Smith. And for anyone that knows you by Smith—well, they’ll find you easily enough if they want to.

- Keep in mind that if you subscribe to my whole theory of using keywords to attract search engine users, it does you no good to be cute and use unorthodox spellings or words that people would normally Google. (I used to work for a company called YellowBrix. It drove our clients nuts because they were always going to yellowbricks.com and not finding us.

- If you can follow all of the above and still come up with something catchy, then all the better. But if you’re forced to pick between catchy or conforming to all of this other stuff, my advice would be to conform. Though there are some businesses where that may not be good advice. If your client base isn’t going to be looking for you on the web, but instead, will see your URL painted on a storefront or whatever, then ‘catchy’ may have more importance than I’m giving it credit for.


Hope you will come up with a great Name. All the best!
