| Posted by ThePrimeHost, 07-09-2002, 07:13 PM | | Hey Guys,
I'm just about to branch out into the reseller gig (I have been in web hosting for almost a year and half and run a very profitable, debt free company - See my sig below)........
At any rate I would like your opinion on my choices of possible names for the newest aspect of my business:
http://becomeawebhost.net
or
http://multiname.net
The designs are nearly identicle but becomeawebhost.net implies that I would in fact teach a complete newbie with no prior knowledge how to run a web hosting company.
I value this communities opinion like none other, so please comment away

| Posted by Lats, 07-09-2002, 08:20 PM | | It's a difficult job selecting a name for any venture for sure, and I like your thinking for the longer name.
Personally though, I wouldn't use it for a reseller gig.
Just to throw a spanner in the works, and in keeping with your current business name, are you aware theprimereseller.com/net/org are available?
Good luck.
Lats...

| Posted by ThePrimeHost, 07-09-2002, 08:58 PM | | Thanks for the feedback Lats, but I've already purchased the domains. I'm really fond of multiname.net as it implies the multple domain aspect of it all.
Keep 'em coming

Well, I will offer an opinion anyway. I do not like the multiname.net name....says nothing about hosting....sounds more like you're selling domain names. Further, a .net, when there are plenty of good .com's left.
I like becomeawebhost.net better, although it does little for me, either.

| Posted by chinchilla, 07-09-2002, 11:39 PM | | Well, I'll offer a differing opinion. I like multiname.net much better. It's a good length, catchy-sounding, and memorable. I think becomeawebhost.net is kind of long and less professional sounding, like someone was really reaching to find a suitable domain....
I'd like to cast a strong vote for multiname.net. It's fairly meaningful, though not obvious, which I think is a good thing. Look at some of the most successful sites out there whose names have nothing at all to do with their business... ebay, amazon, etc. Honestly, I wouldn't resell using a site called becomeawebhost.net.

| Posted by APEXware, 07-10-2002, 02:38 AM | | I realize you've already registered the domains, but out of everything mentioned I like theprimereseller.net/.com best. Ties into the site ya already have. Like earhost.com and earservers.com for example.

| Posted by DarrenK, 07-10-2002, 03:01 AM | | becomeawebhost.net sound dull and boring as much as its a wired name. It doesn't really mean anything... or does it?
I would rather suggest multiname.net even if it does sound as if your selling domains.
A few alternative:
multiwebhost.net \ .com
multihosting.net \ .com
multihost.net \ .com
etc etc.. you get my drift.

| Posted by attila, 07-10-2002, 01:33 PM | | Hello
I am also trying to find a name for my company any ideas or suggestions on how to go about doing that.

| Posted by ThePrimeHost, 07-10-2002, 09:51 PM | | I must admit, I have somewhat formed an opinion leaning toward multiname but I still value all of your input. Thanks guys

Good luck

| Posted by ThePrimeHost, 07-11-2002, 05:08 PM | | I'm receiving a large amount of interest from my existing client base for these new offerings. I think I'll do fine, just as I have in regular web hosting.
Thanks for the comments guys, it is deffinately appreciated!
|
| Posted by ThePrimeHost, 07-12-2002, 06:35 PM | | Wells guys I went with http://multiname.net and site is about 90% complete. I've almost got enough orders to justify the new server plus some.
|
| Posted by ArtieFishill, 07-12-2002, 06:45 PM | | Personally, I like the idea of http://theprimereseller...goes with branding concepts with your original business.
ThePrimeHost
ThePrimeReseller
ThePrimeDeveloper (for maybe a how-to site)
ThePrime...whatever..
get the idea. Look at sitepoint.com...webmasterBASE, promotionBASE, etc....
I'm thinking of starting up a reseller business myself...so I'm on the lookout for ideas on a name.
