Do you think using the words start or starter in a domain that will be developed and designed to help newbies get started in a certain type of business by offering free info and (perhaps even paid services) is a good idea?
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/83001-start-or-starter.html

Ex. RestaurantStart.com or RestaurantStarter.com (just examples - not my domains. The business types I have in mind are much shorter in length than "restaurant" by that way.).

If not, why and what word(s) would be better than start and starter for such a site?

If you think they are good words, then which do you think is best, Start or Starter?

I know start is shorter, but I think that maybe starter is more natural and would actually be remembered first by most since it is more natural sounding. But I cannot say for sure. What do you think?

I would say Starter, e.g. PHPStarter..... etc.

It depends entirely on the other word in the domain! For instance, quickSTART.com would be better than quickSTARTER.com.
But, carSTARTER.com would be better than carSTART.com.

You cannot apply one formula to all domains. It's all relative.

I agree with Gene in that it is very much name-dependent.

PHPStart wouldn't make a lot of sense and neither would StartSSL.

i think stater fits more than start but there is no saying unless you tell of the word before OR after you want to use

But please remember, I explained all this in my OP. I said the other word was the name of a type of business and also that it was short, not like the restaurant example I gave. So I am not to sure these responses applies here.

(these 2 are rather long, but you get the point, I'm sure).


"Car" is not a type of business it is an automobile and neither is "quick". Same goes for "PHP".

Also, understnad that I only want the word start or starter (or a better word if there is one) after the {business type}, not before.

ALso note that I am not lookiong to buy aand trade these undeveloped. I am looking to develop them myself and brand the domain name. So branding must be taken into consideration as much as (if not more so than) whether it is gramatically correct.

then by all means, use Starter (or similar) since it fits the dictionary deffinition.
