Resolved Question

Good Domains Available for Technology Blog

Aug 16, 2012 9:13AM PDT

Hi there,

As you can see, I am a new user. But hopefully I'll find my way around.

Anyways, I am thinking about making a technology blog covering Apple, Microsoft, etc. But I can't think of a good domain, as of they are all taken!

Can I please get some suggestions for a domain? I am NOT looking for tips, I am looking for domains AVAILABLE that I could use.

That entirely depends on your strategy

Consider apple.com... by itself, it really has no meaning, except for that it's a fruit, but the company Apple has branded and advertised their business accordingly, so now everyone knows what they'll find at apple.com.

Then consider something like californiacabinsforsale.com... without knowing anything about this website, there is a pretty high chance that you already know what you'll find there.

Apple is short and easy to remember, and now since the company has branded themselves accordingly, it has a good SEO value.

California Cabins for Sale is much longer, possible harder to remember and more characters to type, but it's more SEO friendly out of the box.

First, figure out your strategy for getting your website out there and whether this is a short term or a long term project, then start looking for a domain name to match.

Hi there,

Thank you for helping me. As said in the title of the topic, I need a good domain blog name for a Technology blog. If you read the entire description for the topic post, then it stated that I needed available domains, not tips.

But thanks for replying and trying.

Yes, I saw that

But "good" depends on what is inline with your strategy. You didn't explain your strategy, so pick any available domain name and that should be good.

Here is one:

Hi there again,

Thank you for replying back. Not after stating that, I realize that I should've added more detail and content.

My tech blog would be posting about the technology field of today. I would be posting tech news, such as the iPhone coming out, the Surface coming out, etc. (those kind of things).
