Question
I didn't asked my last question the right way.
Here's what the situation is: I have a product named "Melissa".
The product is a voice-controlled home automation system. In order to control the system, you should refer to Melissa as in example: "Melissa, make me some coffee".
I want to buy a domain but melissa.com is already taken and the owner is not willing to sell it.
Do you have any suggestions what the domain should be?
Old domain: http://modernsteward.com
Keywords: Melissa(!), home automation, smart home
Answer
You have a couple of good options:
1. Choose an extension other than .com. Dot-co and dot-biz are obvious choices. You might also get more creative: how about Melissa.is, which uses the Iceland country code and gives you an instant sentence? ("Melissa is ... efficient." "Melissa is ... convenient.")
2. Add a word (preferably a verb) to "Melissa" to create an available domain-- for example, GetMelissa.com.
Happy to talk if you want more information -- I have 20+ years of experience in name development.
