Funny Advice on How NOT to Choose a Domain Name

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

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at:
expertsexchange.com

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at:
penisland.net

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at:
therapistfinder.com

5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company…
powergenitalia.com

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
molestationnursery.com

7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always:
ipanywhere.com

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is:
cummingfirst.com

9. Then, of course, there are these brainless art designers, and their whacky website:
speedofart.com

10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at:
gotahoe.com
