website address naming

[mjbasford]

Hello all, finishing up my website and getting a host soon (once i have the domain) and coming up empty on a good domain. My company in computer solutions and it is located in Williamsburg. trying to have a .com and (obviously) computersolutions.com is taken. on thought i have is cswilliamsburg.com , but it is almost exactly like my main competitor in the areas site (one letter difference).

Something that is memorable or catchy is best.

Any suggestions or advice would be great. Thanks in advance

From an SEO point of view it's useful to have your target search terms in the URL, such as www.williamsburg-computer-repair.com

that just seems so long winded and long for advertisements. i have thought of that, using both SEO optimized names such as computer repair and my business name, but something about the long names just seems odd to me.

Thank you for the suggestion tho

Yes i'm not sure I like long names either. I have a very short domain name and a lot of people tell me they like it and remember it. I still get 3 mentions on page 1 of google with just computer repairs leighton buzzard or laptop repairs leighton buzzard.

very important:
domain name to be one word. If is a composite word then should be 2 small words no hyphen between them
You can change your business name later without great impact, but you cannot change your domain name without impact.

DOTCOM domains are mostly taken... that is why they came up with DOTCO

I ran search in using my host provider account in control panel and the following domain names are not taken:

pcresolve.net

compsolve.biz

pcresolve.co

pcresolve.biz

pcrestore.biz

compusolve.co

pcsolve.co

pcrestore.co

www.WilliamsburgComputerRepair.com is available. Even if you don't want to use it, you should register it to keep it from someone else.

 

[mjbasford]

Thanks all for the advice, and i am defiantly going to register that domain and any others i can think of (within reason) that are applicable

compubroke.com is available. I just might get that.
lol pcsmoked.com is open too. That's even better.
keyboardsurgeon.com
I definitely should have taken this one: pcbugsquasher.com
mypeesee.com available too
pchostage.com
pcforces.com
thehumanpc.com
pcprimadona.com

my personal favorite, terrancomputers.com

He's right. I missed the boat on _mycity_computerrepairs and am going to have to get a little more creative.

Grab it while you can.

FALL99 godaddy code for 99 cent .com

Just used it, works.

I just bought pcforces.com. I'm surprised it wasn't taken already. I can think of some uses for this for sure.

 

[Xander]

Damn. I just bought 3 for $7something.

I just thought to double-check. My competitor bought out simply _localcity_computers.com, not ___repairs.com.

Just snatched up my city and Niagara Falls. (Edit: One of which with Neutron's discount code. Thanks!)
