Domain Name Horror

I am not a creative person at all.  My brain just goes plain blank every time when I need to think of something nice and full of imagination.  That's why when I decided to register a domain for myself I couldn't think of anything but my name, initials, and computers.  However, at least the name I finally picked, KJCTech.net, doesn't fall into the worse name everyone needs to avoid category.

This Top 10 Worst Domain Names and 20 More Unfortunate Domain Names are absolutely a no-no.  Take close look at these awful names so next time when we are doing brain storm for the new domain name make sure the name we pick doesn't follow their steps.

Manufacturer of instruments for monitoring temperature, humidity and pressure Dickson didn’t think twice when they choose: www.DicksOnWeb.com

A company selling CAD software and Learning CDs was called ViaGrafix - quite innocent until a blue pill hit the market. The company is now called Learn2 but was www.ViagraFix.com

The small town Winters’ local newspaper is called Winters Express and can be read online at: www.WinterSexExpress.com

An eBay competitor was considering the name Auctions Hit, but found it to be a shitty name: www.AuctionShit.com

And the worst of the worst is Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at www.ExpertSexChange.com.  This site always comes in the no. 1 from Google but I never noticed they are actually expert on that.
