” That little extra can make a lot of difference ”
If you discover that your preferred domain name you can try this tip. By adding an ‘i’, ‘e’ or ‘v’ you may be able to come up with an avialable version.
In the last few years these alphabets give your business the added advantage of being recognized as being an online business or concept. Basically these three prefixes when placed before any domain name , immediately identify it as being related somehow to the internet.
This web site is an example of this., I needed to find a way of indicating that this site was specifically made to handle online businesses. By prefixing my domain name with an e , I effectively found an available .com domain and also branded my site as being online.
The wikipedia search result for domain names which can be found here indicates that adding these prefixes may some how create a more valuable brand in the long run. Somehow this is tied in to the fact that once you have any of these prefixes, you can take out the TLD (top level domain), i.e you can simple put ‘ebiznuggets’ without necessarily adding the extra appendage.
