I need help choosing a name

[Ringr]

Hey everyone,


Long time no see! I'm in the process of moving (somewhat) right now. I'm actually moving to a different county in my state (Minnesota). I want to make a little informational page about the state county (county history, info on towns within the county, pictures of the county, etc.)


The problem is trying to find a decent name for the website I want to make. I am wondering if you guys can help me choose which one I should work with, I would really appreciate some suggestions.

Here are the available domains for 'James County', Minnesota:

• JamesCounty.net
• JamesCty.com
• KnowJames.com
• GoJames.net
• JamesCo.info
• James-County.net
• James-County.info
• GoJames.com
• James-County.com

What should I go with? Or is there something else you guys would suggest (like a different prefix/suffix, *James.com/James*.com?)

 

[texasgamer]

I would go with James-County.com or JamesCounty.net

 

[estibot.com]

My favorite is clear:

JamesCounty.net

It has 100% right keywords, no hyphen to remember, and the .net is, in this case, appropriate: It is James County's presence on the Net. Plus, it sounds good in everyday conversation: "Have you visited James County Net already?" "My dog's picture was on the James County net!"

It's actually better than JamesCounty.com would have been.

:imho:

James County

I'd go with JamesCounty.US, for obvious reasons.

 

[PolurNET]

Yes, both the non-hyphenated .net and .us (if available) are excellent choices

I want to make a little informational page about the state county


Jamescounty.info is available if you hurry

 

[Ringr]

So far I'm liking JamesCounty.net the best. I'm just kind of scared though, I don't want people to go to "JamesCounty.com" by accident. I don't want people to be like "hmmm... what was the site about that county again? Was it .net or .com?" obviously they'll choose .com first since it's more popular which will cause me to lose traffic.

Anyone know where I'm coming from on this?

Personally I would go with the Jamescounty.info... To be honest if you make it a great site, it will be just that..... regardless of the ext.

 

[peter phillips]

Jamescounty.info does make more sense for a little informational page about the state county than jamescounty.net or james-county.com.

 

[floatingworld]

I would go with a snappy name and choose gojames.com

JamesCounty.net has my vote.

For SEO purposes the best option on the list! The only (minor) issue would be as you described people perhaps using the .com instead of the .net.

I would go with a snappy name and choose gojames.com

I agree with the goJames.com
easy, memorable, plus could be a possible sale later, who knows.
I'd go with JamesCounty.info or .us otherwise.

 

[briman1970]

JamesCounty.info is my first choice. It fits your site's niche perfectly IMO.

JamesCounty.net is my second choice. As Josh_1 said, it goes well together because it could be considered as James County's presence on the net. The .com site only has a tiny bit of static text on it, so people who mistakenly navigated there would realize their error most likely.

 

[OptimyzDomains]

Hey, don't forget JamesCountyMN.com!

I think this is perfect! It will make your site state specific as well as prepare you for all of those "james county mn" queries on the web.

Plus, the "memorability" is very good, thus it's still easy for the locals (or anyone else) to remember.

 

[domainer111]

As your going to develop, I would use GoJames.com.

If you develop using a non dot-com domain you will lost traffic to the dot-com version.

 

[deet]

gojames.com
jamescounty.info

Get them both IMO

 

[Ringr]

Thanks everyone for your help, I did some self-debating and I think GoJames.com is the best one, and possibly JamesCounty.net. The county's name isn't actually "James", I was just using that to protect anyone viewing this thread from gobbling up my name. I'll be sure to reply back in this thread once I've got the website up so you guys can learn more about where I'm from!
