Which is better for one word .com domain?

[james2002]

I wonder which is better between

1) Past tense form "--ed" of a verb e.g. managed.com

2) Present continuous " --ing " form of a verb e.g. managing.com

depends on the end user
or if you were going to develop the name

and whats available at the time

Managing is anytime better than managed in this case.

Loved.com
Loving.com

Its really a close one, but I think at least in the cases I keep thinking of, present continuous seems to be better.

I wonder which is better between

1) Past tense form "--ed" of a verb e.g. managed.com

2) Present continuous " --ing " form of a verb e.g. managing.com

Most of the time: Continuous

I prefer managing.com.

"Past tense" domains have much less potential, generally ... in my experience. :red:

Past tense domains allude to "in the past" whereas present continuous alludes more to now and going forward into the future. The latter in most cases.

If you can relate a 'past tense' domain to something in the past it can work well. Sounds obvious I guess but not possible for all verbs.

loved.com - great for a memorial/tribute site etc
telephoned.com - hard to see an obvious use for this one.

It depends on the word but in the above, I'd prefed Managed.com as it could be great for a Managed Fund company.

I dont know if they are still in business, but managed.com use to be a big hosting company.
In these terms it sounds better than managing, as, your server is 'managed' by them.
It is a close call, and depends on the verb IMO.
