Domain for gaming/clan site if it's taken

    Hi, what would you suggest to add or choose when the name you want for a domain is taken.

    For example, if my clan name would be Asylum, but all common domains are taken, would it be a good idea to use dot WS domain?

    Or should i stick with .com and just add something to the domain name?

    For example, i've been thinking of
    theasylum.com
    asylum-hq.com

    Or would you add something else? Is 'the' a bad idea?

    I note it again, that Asylum is just an example, i have no plans of using that name.

    Please help.

    Using a .com is always better then .ws

    Even the biggest games take the domain with game at the end of their domain name. Like PrinceofPersiaGame.com and many more. So not a bad idea to use AsylumClan.com

    "The" or "dotcom" in the end are pretty good ideas. I like that much more then dashes inside domain name

    If like that,then you can chose the same domain but using other extension for example using your country TLD.

    i've thought of that too but our country is very strict - they only let organizations and such register our country domains.
    So that's why i was thinking of WS. Besides it's a bit more international (advertised as WebSite).

    But, anyway, thanks very much for feedback everyone. I'm probably gonna go for the***.com;)

    When ever possible always go with a .com 1st, and if you just cannot find anything at all in .com go with .net, you may even be able to get away with using .org.
    I would not use a .ws. I don't have any and I will probably never have any.
    Use a .com, I am sure that if you get creative, you can find something appropriate.
