Finding a Domain Name

Fourteenth Post 06-14-05: Finding a Domain Name

The Net is so vast that finding a domain name for a website is a hard task. It is just like getting an email address or screen name, the one you want is taken. There are just so many websites, all the common names are taken. You have to be creative to think of a name that is easy to type and easy to remember.

And when you surf the web to see what names are used, you see a lone web page with the name you want and all it has is one page with links. I don’t know of any good method of choosing a web site name, you just have to be inventive.

I chose www.constructorscorner.com which was the first website I designed. The name is long and hard to type, but once you learn to type it, it is easy to remember. My second site www.calculated-curves.com. It is another long address, but the two words are easy to remember. I wanted to maintain the letters c and c for the start of the words.

Even though it is difficult to think of a domain name, using a registered domain name is still easier to remember than a sub-domain listed under another website such as a free web host.

For a third site, I tried the name teknowledgy and it was taken. After 20 tries we finally came up with www.all4tek.com. That is a pretty creative domain name. Try the sites for yourself and see what you think.
