Help pick a domain name, again

by GTX_SlotCa » Wed, 05 Apr 2000 04:00:00

Since I lost another 6 hours of work last night, I guess finding a new web
host is a priority. Not being able to get through to Road Runner's home page
server unitl after 2am and losing hours of work is just too frustrating.
Once again I call on you help to find a domain name that either describes
the site and/or is easily associated with it. I guess key words  for the
site  would be games, how-to, tweaks, hardware and review, since it deals
mostly with how-to articles tweaking *** hardware and then doing the
review.
http://www.racesimcentral.net/
These names are available:
www.tweakandreview.com
www.tweak-review.com
www.the-tweaker.com
www.the-howto.com
www.gametweak.com (picked by someone on ras earlier)
www.hardwaretweak.com
Any other choice would also be considered.

I just can't make up my mind because I'm not objective, and the type of
people on this ng are apt to be the same type that would go to the site.
I'm going to do this by tomorrow, and I sure could use your input.
Thanks

I would go with a name based on "Hardware" before one based on "Games or
Game"

The www.hardwaretweak.com is ok, but you should probably use
www.hardware-tweak.com

Very simple and easy for someone to remember. "hmm, I want to tweak my
hardware... what was the name of that sight. Oh yea, duh..
hardware-tweak.com"

From the emails I've received, www.gametweak.com and www.hardwaretweak.com
seems to be the finalists in my decision (I thought tweakandreview.com
described it best, but had drawbacks). Of these, hardwaretweak is the most
accurate description. gametweak.com sounds like it's for tweaking games. I
guess people visit the site for 2 different reasons. Some are interested in
the how-to articles, and others in the game settings. I actually never
intended to have game settings there. I only put them up to show what
settings I used for the FF wheel shootout article. But since the shootout
isn't done yet, how was anybody to know this  ;)   As it turns out, it's a
popular page.  Anyway, aside from not describing the site as accurately,
gametweak.com has 2 advantages. It's catchy, easy to remember, and it's
shorter. I like Cliff's explanation and argument for hardwaretweak or
hardware-tweak.com and favor this name myself, but still I think more people
are apt to visit gametweaks.com. Maybe it's less intimidating.

Final chance for input, I'm going to pick one today. I could still use more
help deciding.
