Ask YC: Can you help me pick a good domain name?

6 pointsby robmnlover 17 years ago
I'm just posting this here in case anyone comes up with a brilliant domain name :)<p>I am launching a small startup this month, called ONE application platform<p>Essentially it is an application platform like facebook, but for productivity apps like task lists, bug trackers, contact managers, calendar, etc.<p>My current domain name is: <a href="http://unobeta.com" rel="nofollow">http://unobeta.com</a> - not very exciting

Most companies which are household brands now ( Google, Facebook, Microsoft) etc. were unknown and did not sound sexy at first. The name becomes glamorous when the company actually has cool products, not the other way around. <p>So don't sweat, pick something pronounceable and easy to spell.

It's called ONE, it's an application platform. Okay then, so I suggest runonone.com (and don't forget runon1.com).<p>By the way, I enjoy coming up with domain names, so if any other News.YCer wants help with a name, just email me.

Perhaps this Random Phonetic Name Generator would help? <a href="http://utilitymill.com/utility/Random_Phonetic_Name_Generator/" rel="nofollow">http://utilitymill.com/utility/Random_Phonetic_Name_Generato...</a>

You might have to change the platform name to match the url. Note that .ne is Niger. Is o.ne available? I can't read the registration site: <a href="http://www.intnet.ne/" rel="nofollow">http://www.intnet.ne/</a>

Go here: <a href="http://www.thenameinspector.com/10-name-types/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thenameinspector.com/10-name-types/</a><p>Choose one of the name types and figure out what you want. Remember, if you're making a calendar product, DO NOT call is icalendar or something like that, choose a name that you can build because your product(s) will change. Believe me, we've made that mistake.

Unity, oneness, singular, and harmony in Swahili is 'umoja.' I looked to see if it was available, and it was taken, no surprise. However, youmoja.com is not taken.

I would choose something like 1appp.com (as in "1 APPlication Platform") if I were you. It's sexier. And it's available.

How about the Oneders? Like wonders but spelled with a One.<p>(Sorry that's from some movie, couldn't resist.)
