Need a short, 'professional' domain name. help me think of one
on: December 30, 2010, 01:33:00 pm
Need to register a domain name for my boss, for his personal email.  He doesn't want something cheesy like *firstname*@*lastname*.com, he wants it to sound like a legitimate service.  However, since he needs Hosted Exchange, he'll also need a seperate domain name, so he can't just sign up @gmail.com.

Needs to be short and sound good.  like "inmail.com" or "sherweb.com"

Anyone help me think of an available (keyword) domain name?

Not at all - it's for personal use, but since he plans on doing some business through it, he doesn't want it to be some cheesy "[email protected]"

Something that sounds hi-tech without actually defining in what way ;)

In that same strain, fit in as many buzzwords as possible. See if you can fit in agile, paradigm shift, cloud computing, web 2.0 and other IT nonsense :P

And mine was an obscure  reference to a show I don't even like all that much.

The last two are kinda off, you'd have to own the starfleet or imperialfleet domains first to have a email domain of 3rd grade... Not that thosesound pro, more like sci fi fan...

And you may want to check some whoIs service before you suggest something...

Awww, a sensible suggestion.

imperialfleet.com doesn't resolve to any domain, although imperial-fleet.com is a registered domain.

Figuring out a short sensible domain isn't very easy any more, there aren't too many english nouns or adjectives left unused I think.

Do you have to use .com? There are other 1st grade domains, even cheaper ones... Try something.name or something.info, those fit the personal use.
