looking for new domain for my new lawn care business

I cant get the actual domain I want which ends in "lawns" so I am exploring others

what do you like best?

"""""lawnsinc.com (adding INC to the end of it)

"""""lawnz.com (using a Z instead of an S)

Im leaving out the first word as I dont want to give out the actual domain until I secure it.

I wouldn't use any misspellings, every time you mention your domain while speaking you'll have to tell them with a "Z". You want something that can easily be communicated while spoken. If the name is getting too long trying to fit "lawn" in find something else. Get creative, lawnhaircuts.com <---that's actually available. No one will forget that, it's unique and stands out, easy to spell etc. It's a little cheesy but who cares if it drives business to your site.

I agree with this ... I'd either get something creative, or the xxxinc one, but I wouldn't do hyphens or misspellings.

I'd also grab the .net at the same time if you can.

what do you think of adding GA to the end instead of INC

The GA is for Georgia

"""""lawnsga.com
or
"""""lawnsinc.com

also, godaddy says the domain I really want is available but somebody owns it. I filled out their form to contact them but Im guessing they will want alot of money for it. I would pay a couple hundred if I could get it for that but not much more.

The longer it gets and the more parts you add the harder it gets to communicate, remember and for people to spell.

Think about this, word of mouth is probably the most important advertising tool you can have. What is your current customer or people who see your ads going to remember more? Like I said it's a cheesy name I suggested but when one of your customers is asked who does there lawn care they can tell someone go lawnhaircuts.com . The current customer will remember it and the person they are communicating it to will remember it.

I love looking for domain names, and spend way too much time at it when I am picking up a domain.

And, I agree with short and simple, proper spelling, easy to pronounce, get the .net and the .info.

IMO, it's not crucial to get a dot-com anymore, especially with the impending release of thousands of new TLDs. Search multiple TLDs at once at

Lawns.com WHOIS, DNS, & Domain Info - DomainTools

I think it is simply because so many people are used to it, people go to type it in they are liable to end up at your competitors site.
