Domain name opinion
-
I'd like to get your folks opinions on some possible domain names for my LLC. The actual name of the LLC is Eddie Jennings Services, LLC. The current domain I'm using for it is eddiejenningsservices.com. I dislike the length of that domain, especially for E-mail addresses, so I started looking for some alternatives.
My top contenders:
ejsllc.com
ejs.llcOthers that I gobbled up:
ejsllc.us
jenningsservices.usEventually, whatever domains I own will point to my LLC's site -- to be rebuilt soon(tm).
-
I like ejsllc.com if available.
-
All of these were inexpensive, so I own them all for the next year :).

That's great, short .coms are hard to come by. I think you got lucky on that one!

It's true that the longer version may be a pain in the ass to type, but what is going to be easier for your clients to remember? Even with the longer domain, once someone sends you an email, their email client will likely remember the address and autocomplete. For yourself if the email is used across multiple other sites as login ID, you likely have a password manager so that'll also complete. If I were a client, it would be easier to remember the longer domain instead of the one with a non-standard TLD.

Definitely this one. We need a polling system in ML for things like this.
-
I think I agree, the shorter one is best.

Polls without explanation are worse than having nothing. They don't represent the information that they seem to give and can give very misleading results, as we've seen.

What about edjennings.co?
Short domains are nice, but abbreviations can be harder to remember.

[email protected] seems like the world's worst domain name option ever.

True, which is why I'd opt to not using my name for my LLC. . . but hey. . . this isn't my LLC. .

Right, but whatever you choose for your business name should be clear in the URL. In think if you tell people six letters in a domain, it's harder to remember vs remembering your name.

That's my point. Those Six letters aren't memorable

Edjtech.co and ejtech.co are available as well. It's short but easier to remember.
-
It is easy to remember... it's like saying "e-jay's LLC" .com: ejsllc.com

but they are easier to tell/advertise. and when the site is hit, it can redirect to the full name.

That was also my thought.

That domain is already stuck in my head... damnit.

But to answer the general question. using LLC in the domain name is just bad sounding period.
Use something like @IRJ mentioned

I am pretty sure my partner and I owned ejtech.com back in 2003, but that business never went anywhere.
