Unintended consequences - be careful in choosing your domain name


Jonathan Weinberg's Wackiest web names ever article raises a few eyebrows, offers a touch of humor, and includes a word of caution in your choice of domain name:

"Ever done something then instantly regretted you didn't check things out a little bit more closely! First there is "Who Represents?" - a database for agencies to the rich and famous: http://www.whorepresents.com

Second is the Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views:

Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island:
http://www.penisland.net

Need a therapist? Try:
http://www.therapistfinder.com

Finally we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
http://www.molestationnursery.com "

A wag of the tail to Cog for his What's in a (Domain) Name post.

Another late entry comes from BusyMom : loanus.com...as they say "every body has one (a US loan, that is)".

Hi Paul,

Thanks very much for posting this. Hilarious! Googling these keywords brings back lots of grist for the ol' mill.

I may have to write on this subject, also. If I do, then I'll be sure to link back to you.

Thanks again,
Tim

Paul, I stopped by your site this morning and had a good laugh reading this post. Just goes to show how important it is to doublecheck a domain name before choosing to go with it! Thanks for the comment at Business Blog Wire, by the way. P.S. I'll add another iffy domain name:
http://www.thepenismightier.com - than the sword, of course.

And yes they are really hilarious!!!

Only in english... only in english?
