'i' and 'e' domain names

joe3687 · 10-28-2008, 04:18 AM

What are the advantages of having either an 'i' or 'e' at the beginning of your domain name????

And......Which do you think is best?

They are just popular. iVerb are normally the best tense. But, E/I and other letter prefixes can work in many situations.

a company that had i or e in front of their name implies, with the name alone, that they have a strong web presence. i/e-(fill-in-the-blank) is synonymous with an Internet site or e-Business

What would you say is best?

i/e(then verb) or i/e- (then the verb)

nondash

easier to type and remember, more appealing to an enduser

sites without the dash get typo traffic all the time if the dash version is a fully developed site

Which is better depends on the term.

iFish.com is probably better than eFish.com but eQuotes.com is probably better than iQuotes.com
