Need help choosing a domain

[Fewski]

I'm looking at buying a domain to make a site. I found one domain, but not sure if it's the best one?

For example the domain is:

OlderMail.com

But I'm afraid if I say it, some maybe think they heard "OldMail.com" later on when they try to go to the site (Word of mouth). The OldMail.com would be doing the same thing as I would also...

I've searched for awhile, and can't find any good domains besides that one.

Do you think it would be alright, or should I try to find another one more unique?

What type of site are you trying to build?

Classified Ad site

 

[danielr]

is the classified ad site you want to be :

Local (city)
regional (state / country)
global (world wide)


I can help you find a name but it needs to match the content of the site.

Classified Ad site

perhaps it might be obvious to u already, but... exactly how does "oldermail.com" fit with the idea of a classified ads site?

Only Fewski can answer this - however I think she/he was leaning towards the more traditional print newspaper name sort of feel eg... the courier mail / the NY post / the trading post / etc etc

If this is in fact how your are thinking Fewski, I would steer away from this sort of retro branding (for now) - as it will be confusing to a large number of ppl who have no history of the older print business. Just my opinion.

When I meant an 'example' in my first post... I meant that it was an example domain, not the one that I was thinking about. If I told everyone which one it was exactly, then I might be able to register it if you know what I mean. :p

I'll probably go ahead and just register it and see how I like it in the first few weeks.

Thanks all.
