Ask YC: Can you help me pick a good domain name?
15 comments
Most companies which are household brands now ( Google, Facebook, Microsoft) etc. were unknown and did not sound sexy at first. The name becomes glamorous when the company actually has cool products, not the other way around.
So don't sweat, pick something pronounceable and easy to spell.

Makes sense, thanks.
Perhaps this Random Phonetic Name Generator would help?

You might have to change the platform name to match the url. Note that .ne is Niger. Is o.ne available? I can't read the registration site:
http://www.intnet.ne/
According to the web site if you want to do this you need to call Mr Salaou (72 29 98) or email him: [email protected]. From the other information on the site I get the feeling that the answer is going to be 'no'.

Choose one of the name types and figure out what you want. Remember, if you're making a calendar product, DO NOT call is icalendar or something like that, choose a name that you can build because your product(s) will change. Believe me, we've made that mistake.

Why not switch languages --
unplatform.com
(Seems to be expired)
unap.com also might be available.
Or KeanuAP.com, because Neo is The One.

I am launching a small startup this month, called ONE application platform
Essentially it is an application platform like facebook, but for productivity apps like task lists, bug trackers, contact managers, calendar, etc.
My current domain name is: http://unobeta.com - not very exciting
