Holdings / Kinds of names
Names that say what a business does.
We do not publish a list. Each name we hold fits a small number of businesses, and we write to those businesses directly. What follows is the shape of what we keep.
| No. | Kind | Pattern | Usually suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Service and place | service + city .com | A contractor, law practice or agency that already leads its local market and wants the address to say so. |
| 02 | Clinical practice | specialty + care .com | Clinics and group practices whose patients search by the treatment rather than by the doctor’s name. |
| 03 | The company’s own name | tradename .com | A business trading on a .net, a country code or a hyphenated version of the name it is known by. |
| 04 | Product line | product + category .com | Manufacturers and distributors giving one line its own address for campaigns, dealers or a future spin-off. |
| 05 | Regional brand | region + word .com | Credit unions, outfitters, builders and food producers whose name leans on a valley, range or state. |
Our rules / For every name we hold
How we handle what we keep.
- Every name is registered to us outright, with nothing owed on it and no dispute against it.
- We only offer a name to businesses it plainly describes. We do not approach anyone whose trademark it is.
- One price per name, the same for each business we write to. No bidding rounds.
- We do not list names for other owners and we do not sell through marketplaces.
- If you would rather a name did not go to a competitor, say so. Once it is reserved for you, we stop writing to anyone else about it.
Have a name in mind?
Put it in the form. If we hold it, you get the price. If not, we can tell you who does and whether it is worth approaching them.
