advice Help Me Choose A Professional Name For Domaining

[Shaan Chopra]

Hi, I want your help to choose a professional name for domaining. Sending a mail from Gmail or my personal domain which goes like me[at]shaan.me I am finding it a bit unprofessional. So, I have been picking domains for this, it will be great if you could help in this matter. The other motive is a blog and also get the backlinks redirected to this domain. I know there are experienced domainers here from your experience what do you suggest on the below names. Deliberately I am not making capital letters because meaning should come on its own.

1. nameinvestor.in
2. nameinvstr.com
3. nameinvstrs.com
4. dninvstr.com
5. dninvstrs.com
6. invstrin.com
7. invstr.in
8. dnp.xyz
9. shaan.me

Thank you in advance
Shaan

Most people say .com or nothing.

Nah .. it depends on who your audience and customers are going to be. Ironically people who buy domains aren't experts in domains .. as such you need to stick with simple, well know and understood. In which case .com has a significant advantage over everything else. ccTLDs work if you're ONLY working that particular market. Otherwise I'd actually go with .net over some of the tech-trendy ones like .io or .co (although I'd definitely go with .co over .ai in this context).

I have TONS (50+) of good to solid "domainer" domains .. they aren't impossible to find.

At first choice I would go with nameinvstr.com. for personal portfolio I'll go with shaan.me

One thing I would say is never to limit your audience. It is never good , so it is better you choose from the start if you want the business to be a serious business for you.

As I was writing that I wanted to say a long third last. And I meant, again failed to say, I'd only go with a ccTLD if your primary business is local. But I assumed that as a domain reseller the business is almost always global because you can't get past the fact that everybody potential wants a .com domain. I actually liked the domain I registered. You can't get much stronger in front of the dot, as a domain reseller. And if you aren't exactly against NGTLD's there are still gems to be had. Estibot reckons the .com is valued at $29,000. So there is plenty of wriggle room.

Some ccTLDs might have interesting branding potential.

Well .. I wouldn't have touched that one at any price .. the SLD seems good .. but in my opinion not enough to merit the ngTLD .. however .. it's still way better than DomainSales.xyz would be!
(Sorry @Bob Hawkes .. lol)

I'd list a bunch of mine .. but I'm pretty sure we aren't allowed doing that here? If we are let me know .. lol

 

[Name Trader]

DomainSales.xyz is a premium sale by the registry at $2,700 That made me feel much better with my registration

@Ategy you can not put it here, but you can just DM me the names you have.

I didn't really mean it in a sales way .. more just to show what sort of domains you can get if you're patient.

But if you or anyone else want a list, PM me your email address .. someone else just asked me as well. I just checked and I actually have well over 100.

40+ over 15 years .. 80+ over 10 years.

I work mon+tues .. so I'll try to have something ready for wed.

Sigh .. I need to get a few of them set up .. I have some absolute gems!

For the life of me I could not let this bargain go either. I just bought NameSales.xyz for regfee. OK. It's speculative. But someone interested in DomainSales.xyz might look into the NameSales.xyz instead

I am not even thinking of a sales pitch, but it does give food for my brain.

The .xyz is for the new generations and related to 3D, they are fun and innovative, why do business have to be too serious rather than a bit fun? I think it's really cool for the code editors to appear ending in .xyz when coding a domain address.

 

[Henry Y]

Although I don't know what dnp means, I would choose dnp.xyz because others are worse than it.

All the .com choices suck and are terrible as they are hard to spell, pronounce and remember. The .in choices are not suitable for selling domains to global buyers. The .me choice is more suitable for personal portfolio than domain portfolio.

Have you considered .domains? This extension is more suitable for domaining in my opinion.

 

[Zilla]

no brain...only nameinvestor.in works amony those..and it is very nice.

 

[manpreet]

I'd suggest between nameinvestor.in and shaan.me, atleast they sound clear about purpose and better than those short typos.

 

[Wesley S]

you should invest in shaan.com then you would have it. if not, a variant. ty.

 

[Maximinus]

Pick any name and make it your brand.

Ex: Godaddy, Dynadot, Fabulous, etc... has nothing to do with domain name.

Hello, Shaan!

I think you can further research. You have 'DN' option / acronym ad some adjective. Other option you may use hyphen also and try to find a decent one.

1- nameinvestor.in
