    I'm starting up another bodybuilding site and I was wondering what you guys think of Vast Bodybuilding (www.vastbodybuilding.com) ... for the name/domain?

    Is it unique, etc... Let's hear your suggestions :D

    Vastbodybuilding.com is good if you are going for branding. I like it better than generic names like the ones JK listed.

    It's an ok name IMO. But needs branding for people to remember it well.

    Yep, I agree, it's all about branding, with a splash of perception mixed in. Like how it rolls off the tongue for instance. Hey...are you going to go by "Vast's later?" What will your minions think? What will they say? Would your target audience feel empowered? For instance, when one muscle bound hunk says to his extremely hot friend..."Yeah, I gotta hit up Vast, (Vast's?) then pick up my dry cleaning before 8:00 PM, so I'll catch up with you guy's around 9:30 or so." It is important to take into consideration how other's will receive the name. Can they take ownership of the name, short or long? It's not the sum of the domain name equation, but it is equal to the parts. ;)

    Personally i wouldn't associate the word Vast with bodybuilding.

    you're not building a "Vast" body... you're building a strong, great, elastic one blablablah. "vast" isn't too great to associate with body building.

    I associated these types of words with bodybuilding, Mass, Ripped, Cut, Beef :) as an outsider.

    Thanks for the response, um I'm thinking about going the branding route.

    Thanks for the help :)

    Yeah I see where your coming from "Vast" also somewhat means "great" in a way.

    you really think so, it's only 16 characters, hmm.. thanks for your input

    Yes somewhat now that I have been getting some feedback :)

    As well some of these other domains I have been looking at, I figured that I'm going to create a BODYBUILDING FORUM specifically so out of these one's listed which are the best to work with? and eventually create a forum off of? (p.s. check out the logo/ t-shirts :)):

    Name (Domain)
    1. Vast Bodybuilding (vastbodybuilding.com)
    2. Bodybuilding0 (bodybuilding0.com) Logo for it - [​IMG] ...as well t-shirts with it - Front and Back
    3. The Bodybuilding Site (thebodybuildingsite.com)
    4. Ubertreffen (ubertreffen.com) <-- German for "Surpass"
    5. Bodybuilding Forums (bodybuildingforums.net) <-- remember it's a .net
    6. Talk Fitness (talkfitness.org) <-- Again not a .com instead a .org
    7. TFIT (tfit.org) <-- Short form of the above Talk Fitness

    ...personally for me, I'm really liking Bodybuilding0.com
    :p

    Yeah, the only problem with Bodybuilding0.com is that people will

    a. Not understand what the 0 has to do with bodybuilding, as a bodybuilder myself I would relate 0 to failure, nothing, etc... so that domain will probably not work

    b. They will think the 0 (zero) is a O (letter)...

    c. It could just get all confusing...


    So for the best purposes of mine which is to create a "Bodybuilding Forum" I was thinking that my best best domains would be:


    2. Vast Bodybuilding (vastbodybuilding.com)
    3. The Bodybuilding Site (thebodybuildingsite.com)
    4. Ubertreffen (ubertreffen.com) <-- German for "Surpass"
    5. Bodybuilding Forums (bodybuildingforums.net) <-- remember it's a .net
    6. Talk Fitness (talkfitness.org) <-- Again not a .com instead a .org
    7. TFIT (tfit.org) <-- Short form of the above Talk Fitness

    ...but out of them all I'm thinking "BodybuildingForums.net" would bring me the best hits because of the keywords?

    What does everyone else think?

    So overall I'm not sure of whether to go with

    a. BodybuildingForums.net

    or

    b. Vast Bodybuilding.com

    The others don't really make sense, do they?

    Thanks.
