Which name is best?

    I am finalizing my plans for a name for my web hosting company. I was going to choose a name ending in "host", but am not sure if this is the best idea or not.

    I have these three names available that I am not using:
    pcfastlane.com
    tavanza.com
    mjhq.com

    or I could register a new name ending in "host", such as:
    ****hostcity.com

    (**** is a word I won't reveal)

    However, my friends have all told me ****hostcity.com sounds too spammish for lack of a better word.

    Should I go with the hostcity name, or one of the names I already have? If so, which is best?

    I think the pcfastlane seems pretty catchy, it reminds me of something that would help my computer run faster, so not that one for hosting.

    Tavanza and the 4 letter one don't seem appropriate for a hosting company.

    The hostcity one, while it may seem spammy, it catches and links with something to do with hosting.

    Those are great names by the way.

    This is not good to display these names over here. Someonw might buy these before you.
    And my vote goes to pcfastlane

    I think they already own these names.

    Master is correct in that I own the names already.

    I think you a right in that pcfastlane would be out of place for a hosting site.

    I am thinking right now it would be a better idea to go with the ****hostcityname, even though it may sound "spammy". My thinking is it won't matter since many free hosts already look "spammy" and if I characterize my site with a professional look and appeal, the idea of "spammy" will go away.

    I agree with you Sentry,

    Just make yours stand out and you should have no problem attracting the right audience.

    pcfastlane.com sounds very nice. But if it sounds a bit cheesy for you register a new domain with the word host in it.

    Personally, I would keep searching because none of the names sound good enough. Depending on your budget I'd suggest to visit Sedo or similar domain marketplace and see if a better name is available there. You could get a decent name for a reasonable price there.

    If I'd have to choose from the four domains you mention I'd go either with ****hostcity or pcfastlane.com in that order.

    Good luck
