Chances are, the domain name you’ve thought of for your new app or new business has already been taken. Heck, I think we went through about 200 names (and therefore domain possibilities) before finally coming to Shinefire Studios and its respective URL.
The following process worked for us, and we suggest you try these steps out the next time you choose a domain:
- Create a shared Google Spreadsheet for easily logging and collaborating on potential names and URLs
- Hit up the thesaurus or wikipedia to maximize your business-naming potential
- Pick out your top 20 favorite names from the spreadsheet
- Try out each of the top 20 names on the super-quick domain checking site, Ajax Whois
How do you choose your domain names? Let us know in the comments!
