Now 30 years have passed and we have begun a new movement. It is the “not-com” movement now. Gone are the days when we were stuck with a “dot.com” at the end of our domain name. Beginning in late 2013, hundreds of new domain endings (those words to the right of that second dot), are available for the URL for your website. Now you can choose such “not-com” choices like .coffee, .world, .camera or even .life. Choosing the right name for your business has endless options with the not-com world!
With Name.Kitchen, you can have a memorable and meaningful domain name. If you are a business, a blogger or anyone who has or needs a domain, there is a weight that comes with choosing the right name. It is like naming a baby or a pet! You want it to be a name people can remember, but also means something to you. At Name.Kitchen, you have the ability to choose a domain name that spans many business and lifestyle categories. Whether your domain will have a cooking, parenting, fashion, art, writing, pet adoption or a myriad of other choices, Name.Kitchen is your landing spot.
Thank goodness the frustration of being pigeon-holed into a “dot.com” are over. Let’s say you wanted to choose the name “Licking the Spoon” as your website name. In the “dot.com” world, that name is taken and “Licking the Bowl” is up for bid, starting at $10,000! Well, with Name.Kitchen, “Lickingthespoon.Kitchen” is available! As a matter of fact, there is a long list of endings for that domain name! Not only are you able to find a domain name that really means something to you with Name.Kitchen, they also offer tips, advice and inspiration to help you jump-start the name brainstorm. Discover these tools and tips to help you. For me, I decided on Martin (my last name) Family (what’s important to me) and “dot.life” (it’s all encompassing, right? So, through Name.Kitchen, I have been able to claim the name “martinfamily.life” and I LOVE it!

Here is just one, well two, business owner’s success story, Ali Leipzig and Michelle Goldblum, to inspire you!

I remember trying to find a name for my blog… I went through so many! The thing that I wanted to make sure I definitely had was a .com domain. Great post 🙂
Carin Kilby Clark says
I love that you can have something other than a .com nowadays. It makes the naming process so much more fun.
Uplifting Families says
I remember when we were brainstorming upliftingfamilies.com. We spent about three days brainstorming and using go daddy to determine if a domain name was already taken or not. Then we narrowed it down to our top names.

Picking a name for your business is almost as hard as picking a name for your child! Not really, but close! It has to be easy enough to remember, easy enough to spell, but unique enough so that it isn’t confused with any other business!
Dawn says
Choosing the right name put so much pressure on me! It’s the first thing a company that you might work with sees!
Jennifer Mitchell says
Your name is everything so it’s so important to have the right one! I love the idea of not having a .com name.
Paula Schuck says
I took me weeks to decide on a name. There are so many great names that have been taken it is hard to find ones that have not been used yet.

It can really be difficult to choose the name for your business. We had a hard time choosing ours. Good to know about Name Kitchen.

I think choosing a business (and domain) name is extremely important. It’s what people will call you and how they will know you and it needs to sound professional.
Tom says
This can be a big hang up when you really get down to it. Thank goodness the name for our business was fairly easy. I know some that are not that lucky though so this will help them.

choosing the right name can be tough! Thankfully for me my hubby somehow came up with the catchiest name for my site and it just works! Brands eat it up!
