Finding a name for a web host

    I've been considering starting my own free web host for some time now, but am having a great deal of trouble coming up with a name It seems like everyone's second cousin and brother has a web host of some sort, and every name I look up is taken! I know that a crowded market looks like, and the hosting business definitely is one.

    Does anyone have any tips for coming up with good business names? I can't seem to find a .com name for my host that isn't taken.

    One thing to keep in mind for a free webhosting co, is to keep the domain name short, seeing as how alot of clients will most likely be using subdomains :)

    There is nothing in name, use whatever you get but keep it short and easy to remember. You can even use some technical word for it.
