Which name for Web hosting company???

    Ok, I've been running my Web hosting company for 2.5 years now. Up until now, I've used the name GlobalWebBrands. However, I just purchased a new domain, and am calling the company TopWebhost. My question is this:

    Which name should I use?

    The domains are:

    globalwebbrands.com
    topwebhost.ws
    SEMrush
    GlobalWebBrands is PR4, has many backlinks, etc. It's also a dotcom. TopWebhost has none of this; yet, the TopWebhost name relates to Web hosting.

    If you were me, which name would you go with? Why?

    I would go for Globalwebbrands.com.

    A .com extension carries more prestige and is more proffessional. If you want people to take you seriously.

    I would never have a .ws extension.

    Its entirely up to you but I would go for the latter.

    Drop the .ws :) You should always go for the .com.

    Wow, that's funny! But no, it wasn't. I've used this name on all forums I visit for quite awhile now! I guess great minds think alike! :)

    And thanks for all the advice----I am switching things back to the GlobalWebBrands name now. :)

    I would always use a .com or a .net domain for web hosting, in that order.

    I would not use the other tld's because the general public is not accustomed to seeing nor using them.

    As always, just my humble opinion, nothing to back it up.

    If I were a customer and had to pick either globalwebbrands.com or
    topwebhost.ws, I would definitely go with the first one.
