I'm searching for a unique domain name to use as a photoisland type of site.
Requirements:
1. .com (only)
2. available to register (not purchase from someone)
3. short name easy to remember
4. name will not compete with the below (I mean not to close of a name)
names I've come-up with that are not available:
digitalgallery.com
digitalpulse.com
digitalworks.com
photogalleria.com
photomill.com
digitalvillage.com
you get the drift?
thanks
ps - that's a first pass list
You probably won't find a domain with that criteria.
You have to drop the .com or the short requirements.
Use this site:
http://www.nameboy.com for suggestions. It's like a domain name thesaurus.
I strongly recommend against publically asking for domain name suggestions as domain name poachers and squatters will snap them up.
I don't have any suggestions (I strongly doubt that you will find a .com with that criteria) but if anyone does I suggest you have them email you.
what's a good critera for name length?
The shorter the better. :-)
Look, I just got a 7 letter domain name (.com).
Thing is, it's not really just the size it should be a word as well.
If I were you I'd not try to go for a keyword domain (e.g. one that has photo or digital) but rather try for an easily branded name.
Try a mix of letters until you get a short one (something like waaboo.com) that is brandable and easily remembered.
Well ya get my point, it should be memorable. Like yahoo or somethin'.
Good luck, I really think you will need it.
Try out namebot (the link I gave earlier) and if they don't help I can give you some keyword thesauri.
I do need all the luck this goofy can get
that's for your guys pm's with ideas keep'm coming! It's a big mountain to climb - I'm up to the task!

it would be interesting to know if it is propogated for you guys.
Looks propogated here. I'm seeing banner title and a sillhoutte of an old style camera on a tripod with a photographer ducked under the covering and a bit of film strip draped across the page.
