    kegsta.com ... it's for sale too ;) lol just kidding ,

    you'll have to be careful that the domain doesn't contain apple in it otherwise you run the risk of trademark violation

    how about gizmorepairs.

    My initial thought was something like applezilla.com because it's brand-able and also tells people you sell apple products, but its taken unfortunately :(

    As the above is gone, how about in keep with your name applezmo.com, applegiz.com or even applegizmo.com All three would be brand-able and again tell people that your site is to do with apple products :)

    @Optimizator, the OP is looking for help with thinking of a domain name, not where to register it! And if he did want to register it I'm sure sites like www.123-reg.co.uk, www.godaddy.com, www.name.com, www.namecheap.com www.1domainreg.co.uk and so on would suffice with them being the cheapest registers I know of depending on your TLD and what offers they have on at the time you come to registering your domain's' :)

    And what is to stop you?

    Apple do not have a monopoly on the word apple completely you know. I had a domain name apple-orange.co.uk once and never heard a dicky bird from Apple the company nor Orange the company, but let the domain drop as had other things to do. I specifically registered it as a test to see what would happen as a matter of fact.

    Yet I also had ebay-learner.co.uk for a book my wife and I we're writing which had to be abandoned as ebay cease and desisted me on the name and they had a right to do so as ebay is not something one can argue against really is it.

    I presently have norton-disney.co.uk and neither of the two Norton Companies (Motorcycles or Internet Security) nor Disney have a legal leg to challenge my owning this domain name as it is also a place name.

    Apple is a fruit and if you have an orange coloured apple and a different shape to the Apple logo what can they do?

    http://www.applerecords.com/ don't seem to be getting cease and desisted by Apple computers now do they?
