Need Advise!

patches · 04-22-2005, 11:05 AM

I wanted the domain xxxxxx.com
The .com, .net, .org, .info, .us, and .biz were already taken. Also the word with an e in front of it was already taken in the .com and the .net.
I did however register the name with an i in front of it.
Here’s where I need advise.
It seems just about every dictionary word has been registered with either an i or an e in front of it. I assume this has something to do with the internet, but would like to know for sure what the i and e stand for. Should I also register the .net? Your advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any and all advise.

I'm not a fan of the trend, as it seems almost cheesey. But "i" typically means "internet", and "e" typically means "electronic".
But try to think of popular domain names that are popular with the "i" or "e"? Most of the ones that I can come up with are using the "I" as a pronoun (Such as "iwon.com").
