KISS

Short and memorable is better

Avoid using "solutions", "systems" or "services" if you can - there's thousands of us already.

Choose English words which are easy to remember and spell. If you have to use a makey-up-y name then try to make it phenetically pleasing as much as possible.

I have no problem with words such as Solutions or Services used in the name as long as it's relevant to the business. It gives a professional gloss.

You might also want to consider choosing a name that begins with A, B or C

Why is that, if may ask?


I always liked Compu-Global-Mega-Hyper-Net You could be their Junior Vice President.

At a guess I would say it's to 'rank higher' in the yellow pages?

Thanks for the advice.

I was thinking of having the word "media" in the name.

It depends what your business is focusing on. If it's a design/development house then media and studios is a good option.

Not just the yellow pages. A lot of things list companies alphabetically

add "damain name availability" to that??

I'm sure as long as your name gives some (even vague) indication of what you're about, it will be good. You can't do worse than 0001-Media-Systems-Solutions.info ...
