Please appraise the domain HostDeer.com

My Thoughts:
Great short brandable domain name for a hosting company. Animals are one of the most sought after in domains as they can serve as a clever branding opportunity that users would easily remember/recognize. Here, Deer symbolizes fast, which makes a good fit for hosting.

Deer or Dear or Dare?

Always keep the idea of the "Radio Test" in mind. Also, remember, when English is not someone's first language - these types of words that confuse the sound and spelling are troublesome.

Best of luck

Thank you. I was hoping that the animal mascot would help in that aspect for remembrance. But I do agree that something like HostDuck would be better, which doesn't have any confusing spellings.

Yeah, I'm with you & like the deer -& yes the visual makes it easy & clear...That's why you always have to fall back on the "radio test".

If your grandma is from Panama and heard the ad on a radio: would she remember the brand name (stick in your head), will she be able to easily repeat it to others, and will she be able to easily remember it + spell properly when she got to a computer.

Run the same scenario in you head for folks you know from other language backgrounds - etc. Best, if you are investing a few $$$ maybe actually reach out to people you know and test it with real people.

Dont get me wrong I get it & why you feel strong about it - especially with the visual aid. I would consider it a brandable & would prob try submitting to SquadHelp or BB as if they accept it it will be a 1400 to 2K name,.

GL!
