Domain names you don’t want your website to have

My brother Jim has warned me in the past to be very careful about what domain names we use for our websites as a mission. Sometimes, my sticking words together, you end up with something rather different than what you intended.  Take this notorious examples:

  • Who Represents is where you can find the name of the agent that represents any celebrity. Their Web site is www.whorepresents.com/
  • Experts Exchange is a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at www.expertsexchange.com/
  • Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at www.penisland.net/
  • Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at www.therapistfinder.com/
  • Italian Power Generator company has the interesting domain name www.powergenitalia.com/
  • The Mole Station Native Nursery in New South Wales can be found at www.molestationnursery.com/
  • Looking for IP computer software? There is always www.ipanywhere.com/
  • The designers at Speed of Art await you at www.speedofart.com/
  • A holiday rentals company in Spain is called Choose Spain. Their website? www.choosespain.com
  • TeachersTalk: An online community for teachers and student to discuss all areas of teaching, including… www.teacherstalk.com
  • IHA Vegas’ holiday rentals have an interesting website, I am sure. www.ihavegas.com
  • And finally, Childrens Wear, a British kids' apparel company. www.childrenswear.co.uk

I do love your sense of humour, Glenn! (and, sick though it may be, I still chuckle over the "Llamas in Hats").

You are in my prayers, as always.
