There are many things to consider when choosing a domain for your business. You want something that is easy to remember, not too long, and if at all possible - already matured by another company. But the first thing you need to consider is whether that domain name can be misconstrued to mean something entirely different. Here are some examples of what NOT to choose for a domain name. And yes, these are REAL companies and REAL websites…

1. A site called ‘Who Represents’ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name is:
whorepresents.com
