hey!

there's been some time i have my site hosted here in trap17.

now i'm planning to get a domain name and of course continue to get hosted here. But lately my mind is all blank and i can't think of anything funny, cool and interesting. You know that type of domains you really need to visit. tongue.gif

My site is about my personal blog and photography portfolio. I have goodies as downloadable wallpapers and forum signatures. I plan on setting up a somewhat community with photography subjects, site design and another random stuff.

So the domain names i have in mind now are:

www.dans-network.com

www.dan-network.com

www.dan-spot.com

Now as you may figured my first name is Daniel so as mainly the site is my personal blog and portfolio i think dan suits like a glove in my domain name.

Now its grammar correct that you say Dan's Network. But personally i prefer www.dan-network.com over www.dans-network.com

Please help me in this dillema... I'm open to new domain suggestions. Please help unsure.gif

If you are toying with an idea for catchy domain name that involves DAN as a prefix, would you consider the followings?

www.danetwork.com
This is the condensed version of “dan-network.” It sounds like “dan at work.” And your logo can have DAN in one color, let’s say, with a slight double vision of the letter N, followed by ETWORK. Therefore, making your logo to appear as DANNETWORK. Or, even do all caps of DAN and etwork (DANetwork) with N as your separator.

www.danbphoto.com or www.danbphotos.com
This is a combination of Dan’s blog and photos.

Good luck.

I agree. The simpler the web address, simpler to be remembered by all. Web address should go back to the basics; none of that www.hosting-company-name-place.com. dan-network.com is short and straight to the point. dans-network.com is bit confusing. It is better to read, "dan dash network" than "dans dash network."

Very good.

Yeah nothing's worse then a domain you can't tell people! For examlpe did you know that slash dot.com was dessigned as a joke! so you would read it h-t-t-p-colon-slash-slash-slash-dot-dot-com! talk about a mouthful laugh.gif

But seriously try something other then network, how about domain, or dominion.
Here is an entry:
http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=domain
or http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=network

or rather then saying dannetwork.com try d-network, like "de place to be" In fact here's a catchy slogan 'd-network.com D place to B' That wourld work even better if you could find a word that started with B for your address!

that way you have allertiraton, or try to find a word that works with your first and last name. So look for a word that starts with your first name/initial, and ends with something like your last name!

Anyway I've probably made it a lot harder.

According to Web CEO, your most important keyword should be in your URL to increase your PR for search engines. I have no idea how important it is, however.
