Top DN Related Prefixes

DomainOgre · 11-06-2003, 09:07 PM

Just wondering what everybody thinks are the best DN prefixes after the big two, 'domain' and 'name'.

The other terms that are usually taken after those 2 are 'URL', 'DN'. and 'Domainname'.

For example, DomainStore.com, NameStore.com, URLStore.com, DNStore.com, and DomainnameStore.com

Personally, I am liking DN more and more.

Though longer, I would probably choose "DomainNameStore.com", IMHO. Naturally, this would be a distant third after "Name" and "Domain". Last time I checked in at Overture, "Domain Name" had quite a few search results for the month. "URL" would be last, as I see it.

DomainOgre · 11-06-2003, 09:24 PM

Just using store as an example, but I think you got what I meant.

Yea, I always go for those two first

Yea, I would like it a lot too if I owned one of those names in the example

I personally like DomainName, DN, then URL!

DomainOgre · 11-06-2003, 11:03 PM

I think for me its DN, URL, and then DomainName mainly due to the length.

BTW, vote people

redhippo · 11-07-2003, 02:53 AM

my choice is dn short and sweet & mostly for guys in the biz
than domainname, last =URL

pelican · 11-07-2003, 04:43 AM

i like dn, short and catchy.
DomainName is too long to addon to any word.

Agree

With the exception of DN for industry insiders - as its a recognised term.

redhippo · 11-07-2003, 07:47 AM

wise sayings indeed. ditto

cerebus · 11-07-2003, 08:02 AM

1.) Domain - get's the appropiate message out
2.) dn - if people know the acronym, it gets the message out even better
3.) Name - To generic in my taste even though perfectly fine with branding of the full name
4.) Domainname - A bit too long, but then it really can't be confused with anything else.
5.) URL - Don't like it at all. In an URL protocol, path/file, IP/host is defined so I don't find it suitable as another name for domain names.

DomainOgre · 11-07-2003, 11:26 AM

Great Post, cerebus! Thats what I was looking for when I created this poll.

DomainOgre · 11-08-2003, 11:30 AM

Looks like people prefer the 3 in this order.

1. DN
2. Domainname
3. URL

Elefekt · 11-09-2003, 01:27 AM

I would say that i like url better then domainname

biggie · 11-09-2003, 04:45 PM

IMO depends on the suffix following the terms.....

DNregister ...vs.. DomainNameRegister
I would rather have the longer term.

DNPick.com ....vs......URLPick.com
I chose URLPick.com

I have sold "DN" names and "DomainName" both as the prefix for generic/specific domains.

Chris Matthers · 11-09-2003, 05:01 PM

Waldo · 11-09-2003, 05:26 PM

I picked dn because it is short and sweet and says in all.

Good point, biggie, but I just dont like the length and double n for domainname. The only good thing about it is the search engines.

Righto.
Happened to be on Overture, so I figured I'd post.

Quote:

360342 url
239836 domain name
174787 name
84568 domain
3108 dn

Interesting results, and for what it's worth certainly.

Have a great domain night, green Ogre.

Wow, very suprising results. I had no idea URL had that many.

Me either!

Chris_C · 11-09-2003, 10:51 PM

Jeez make that three people who are surprised. I still like the order of domainname, DN, and then url though. It's a toss up between the first two IMO, in some cases I think one fits much better than the other.

Elefekt · 11-10-2003, 12:30 AM

Yup URL is my pick like i said many people say url because not everyone uses domain names but rather odd urls so it gets to be a general thing

DomainOgre · 11-10-2003, 10:43 AM

Hmm, now URL getting a couple of votes
