From dessert names to rather unflattering names, here are 14 odd domain registrar names.
People get creative when coming up with domain names. Even registrars sometimes get into the act when naming their registrars.
Many registrar names are created by companies creating drop catching registrars. Since they aren’t public facing registrars, they get really creative. Here are some of the more amusing registrar names (both drop catching registrars and regular ones):
Afterdark Domains, Inc (eNom) – what is this, a registrar for porn names?
Backslap Domains, Inc. – just a really funny name for a domain registrar
BearTrapDomains.com LLC (Moniker) – I guess the visual makes sense for one of SnapNames’ domain registrars.
Betterthanaveragedomains.com LLC (Moniker) – Sell it to me!
Decentdomains, LLC (Dotster) – I’m having a tough time choosing between Better Than Average Domains and Decent Domains as my domain registrar.
Chocolatecovereddomains,LLC (Dotster) – Yeah, I’ll take a dozen.
Domainsouffle.com LLC (Moniker) – or maybe I want a souffle instead.
Dontaskwhy.ca Inc. – I won’t ask why. Forwards to NameScout.
DuckBilledDomains.com LLC (Moniker) – uh, ok.
eNom’s numbered registrars enom1008 Inc., enom1009 Inc (enom) – eNom didn’t have the all night drug induced namestorming session that SnapNames apparently had
EurotrashNames.com LLC (Moniker) – Love it!
Microbreweddomains.com LLC (Moniker) – Little know fact: name was brainstormed at a microbrewery.
NotSoFamousNames.com LLC (Moniker) – No thanks, I’ll keep my business at DecentDomains.
Wild West Domains (GoDaddy) – got to wonder what GoDaddy was thinking when it named its reseller division. Nothing says “lack of trust” more than the Wild West.
Acro says
Moniker always reminded me of “mockery” and my ex wife thought my domain charges by “GoDaddy” were porn. Gotta love shared CC’s!
Andrew Allemann says
I suppose GoDaddy is also a funny name. But I’m so used to it now…
Kevin Murphy says
I like Names Bond. Some kind of 007 reference?
Joe says
There are odd-named registrars even among the more common ones: DomainMonster and Answerable are two examples.
Mike says
Internet.bs reminds me of, well, BS. They’re a great registrar though.
GoDaddy is kind of a sleazy name IMHO.
Batfan says
“Nothing says
FarmerJohn says
Domainsurgeon.com – free malpractice insurance with registration
Goserveyourdomain.com – because it’s so easy to remember

Andrew,
Sorry I am just now seeing this — I have not been keeping up for the last few months. And as you may surmise, me and a few buddies sat in a Portland brewpub with a laptop one Saturday afternoon many years ago and tried to come up with names for 100 new registrars — not as easy as it sounds but as you might guess they got, uh, ‘better’ as the day went on.
