New Company Name

Me and my friend are starting a new company and need a name

The company builds computers and create and hosts web site for ppl.

Can anyone help us out.

Kobraware.

Be upfront about what you do:

CompanyThatMakesDesktopsAndWebSites

Has a nice ring to it

A company should be easy to pronounce, without having to explain each time how it's written.

Trust me, I work for a small company called Weblications. Very clever name, but have to explain it a lot.

The advantage of Kobraware is that it's probably not used yet. The only result Google gives for it is this thread.

What if they later decide to build other stuff too?

Maybe make it more general: WeBuildStuff

I should have known that you'd have researched it. I was being facetious by the way.

If I must deliberate, then it depends on the product. An osensible example [from today] would be http://www.microsoft-hohm.com/.  That is very clever! The SEO will optimise for Microsoft Home.

 I personally would divide the website hosting/building and PC construction into two, and the company name/website be oriented towards that, but kobraware is memorable and I'd go with that.

Avoid any serious company name with "Solutions" in it, it's a fad.

Though I like the idea of a company being called "Solutions Solutions"

It is? How'd you find that out? Perhaps, being so far behind the times in Arkansas, we just haven't gotten the lowdown yet.

My fav is "Borat's Webwear", seriously funny for some, inocuous for others...

Only thing is that Kobraware sounds great but it also sounds evil

I love KobraWare. Sounds tough and aggressive, which is what you want to be!

The buzzword "Solutions" has been hijacked by SMB "busyness" people who like to use polysyllabic words in order to sound important, especially for their company's taglines. Our nation's leading quality magazine has a section dedicated to real-life abuse of the term which makes me cringe.

Basically, take your normal two-bit SMB in any industry or sector, then fancy-up their main product or service with some buzzword, then add "Solutions" to the end. Behold:

Office cleaning -> Workplace Sanitation Solutions

Car repair -> Automotive Maintenance Solutions

Drugs/Alcohol addiction help -> Substance Misuse Solutions

Company IT Problems -> Microsoft Business Solutions

Granted, these are the more saner or permissable ones, others are just bad.
