    Hello, I am looking for a suitable domain name to host a forum on and I was wondering what would be the best domain name for it.

    The following domain names are currently free:
    I think the best are:
    <keyword>discussion.com
    <keyword>forums.net
    <keyword>-forums.com
    the<keyword>forum.net
    the<keyword>forums.com

    and some others:
    <keyword>talk.net
    <keyword>forumonline.com


    What would be your opinion?

    IMO it's better to go with the forum and then install the forum under/forums so you will get <keyword>forum.com/forums in your case it might be the opposite.

    If you go for keywordforums.com and keywordforum.com is already taken by someone else... it may get confusing... especially if they are running a forum on that domain too...

    I'd go with forums.com or forum.net

    "forums" seems to be used the most, followed by "forum."

    Well it was -forms.com with the hyphen.

    The others all seem to have competition with the plural of forum so im thinking of going with discussion and having the forum in the /forum/ directory or something
