In My Holy Opinion

Unfortunate Domain Names

From http://blog.dreamhosters.com/2007/01/26/20-more-unfortunate-domain-names

  • The Royal Tit-Watching (Ornithological) Society Of Britain used the domain:
    www.Nice-Tits.org
    tit-watching

  • Manufacturer of instruments for monitoring temperature, humidity and pressure Dickson didn’t think twice when they choose:
    www.DicksOnWeb.com
  • A holiday rentals company in Spain is called Choose Spain. Hopefully the vacation won’t be a painful experience:
    www.ChoosesPain.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.
    www.ViagraFix.com
  •  

     

    I think with at least some of those sites, the choice of names might have been deliberate: with an ambiguous / provocative domain name, the company gets more exposure on the web (i.e. this blog post), without compromising the company’s professional image (too much).
    If I was head of marketing, I would probably try to pull something like this :)
