Help choose name for news website

[Recons.Com]

Hi,

I am thinking among few names that I already own for my news website and would like to see what you think.

The news website would be US based, but not tied to specific region.

The names are all dot com in now specific order

Chronicle News
Tribune Post
One Post
Newsor
Newsal

Please vote and also write which one you like better (or dislike) and for what reason.

I like Chronicle News its sounds cool, and easy to remeber. Plus chronicle is a good keyword for news niche.

 

[tomcarl]

I like Chronicle News too, only thing is there seems to be many news sources named Chronicle, that can be a pro or a con depending on how you look at it.

 

[DaveX]

In my opinion, it's a matter of SEO and which name you like most. No matter which one you choose, SEO will be the key. Looking at SERPs, I think you will have an easier time capturing traffic using Chronicle News.

Also, Chronicle News sounds "newsy" and includes the keyword "news".

The other names are okay, but if you are talking US Based but not regional specific, I would suggest ChronicleNews.com.

Seems everyone is on the same page and I must agree. Right away the one that caught my eye was Chronicle News, very catchy and brandable. The name when you see it comes at you in a very intriguing way and it captivates your interest.

I am a journo and spent around 12 years in News only. I do not think you should go with Chronicle News because it does not have freshness and will be difficult to establish it as a brand. Rather I see One Post has great potential of becoming a good brand. Its small, catchy and easy to create visual identity because of word 'one'. See, market accepts Top-3 players as leader but when are entering any business at No 4 or 40 does not matter, you have to secure your space through Content, Branding and Product differentiation. You simply have to answer to Why people should come to your Website for News, Thats it.

I have got one NewZ.xyz , I bought it to resell but on second thought thinking to develop it.

Best of Luck

Unfortunately none of above if you have any other option, but if you are limited then go with Chronicle News

Personally i like onepost.com, might be a brand some day

Thanks.

I liked Chronicle News for the same reason as everybody else. This is what I voted for. I kinda liked One Post as well. But I couldn't get my head past One Post = single post, as opposed to Post being the operative word for news and One being the brandable "name" for your news website. Maybe that's just me.

As others have said. Content and SEO will be a major factor in your rankings. But I also believe a cool looking website will give you and your readers a pleasant experience.

Thanks for great and useful feedback and votes.

OnePost might be out of picture now, because I just got request to lease it from me for $100/mo with later purchase for $5K (interest expressed a week ago, asked for contract minutes ago). I still have 1Post though.

By votes, seems like Newsor is another favorite along with ChronicleNews, but no written feedback )

I do have some other options, although the above were the favorites. Others that I can remeber:

COM:

3news
DailyPolicy
oNewspaper
DayPaper
generalinfo
HeraldTrumpet
US Agenda
US Editor
TheTalks

US:
Informer
eNews
Observe
Tabloid

 

[Flipsbay]

From these i think these 2:

DailyPolicy
DayPaper

but still not that much catchy

Thanks.

Will your news site be just a general news site or will it be specific to certain sectors? I like both Informer and Tabloid in .US, but it will kinda restrict your audience somewhat. I would prefer a 2 word .com over a 1 word .us domain. Purely from the perceptions of .us vis-a-vis .com. It won't matter from a development perspective. But it might cloud some peoples view of your website, sitting on a .US domain.

 

[Recons.Com]

Yeah, .us would be limiting it... What do you think of 3News? It is only one of possible 36 L or N + News...

 

[Manik]

Chroniclenews.com is good. Make sure to own Chronicle.news or it'll become quite costly after the website takes off..

 

[Recons.Com]

Yeah, that is the thing with compounds ) Now I have to also look for the hack )

From that perspective, I like Newsor (Somebody/Something specializing in News, a made-up word that is meaningful) and Newsal (something relating to news, newsworthy, also made-up word that makes sense). Short and Sweet...

ChronicleNews has PR6 by the way... And all the names in the short list have natural traffic and are Alexa ranked...

 

[Manik]

Yeah you could call it Newsal.. Just for fun you could name a journalist as Al.. Like "News Al"... idk, sounded good in my head.

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

onepost.com if you only like to use one of your mentioned names - otherwise I would use newwws.top

 

[iowadawg]

Already chron.com is out there (hey, my daily paper still, even after coming to Iowa).
Now so far, I have not seen one domain that I would use for a news site.
I also hunted, checked out, and ran out lists of domains for a news site and could not find any I could want.
Except one....hahahhahahahha....
it is the second one in my signature....
My Other Blog!!!

Haha ) Here we go, I can have a mascot named Al or have a guy on the logo (Journalist Al) ))

Isn't it amazing that Houston Chronicle, as big as it is and serving almost 5M people, could not get domain Chronicle.com and had to go for a hack? )

Yeah, newsandnudes is funny name ) Wasn't Newdes available? ) Kind of short for that )
