i or e at the start of my domain?

    I am starting an interactive learning website for my students and I need some help with creating my domain name. I don't know wether I should use ixxxxx.com or exxxxx.com. I will be offering interactive courses to all my students and I know the main keyword I want to use in the domain, I just need help with the i or e to indicate it is an online-interactive course.

    Any ideas?

    I always like using e, I think it personally sounds cooler.

    Also everytime I see i in front of something I think of apple, which could be bad in case apple develops a product like it (they might take your domain away).

    IMO, "E" is more traditional but "I" looks better and makes more sense.

    "I" - But, depending on keyword, I might use "online" instead of i or e, if it came up in the search results as part of a good long-tailed search phrase.

    Thanks guys, I've registered the domain using exxxxx.com and I'm thinking about just grabbing ixxxxx.com while it's available too. I will use exxxxx.com as the main domain though.

    sincerelly i don't preffer any version. If you can find a catchy domain without i or e than that's great

    Nosfer is correct. But i and e's are much easier to find.

    It depends on your domain information, i.e keyword and description

    i think "e" will match to your need. but i like "i" to use mostly.
    but in this case "e" is the one to choose

    Personally, I treat "e" & the "i" prefix as basically equals although some people have a preference for one over the other.
