Domain Name Forum or Forums ? - wiseone007 - 06-21-2011

Hey,
Im planning on buy a .com domain, with the intention of creating a forum soon. Im currently in the process of registering a domain but not sure Whether it should be [Example]Forum.com or [Example]Forums.com also which one would have more value later with "S" or Without?... I thought it should be Forum because theres only one...but seriously need a second opinion.

Thanks in advance

I think it would have more 'value' without the S.

Whether or not it will have more value as a plural will probably be dependent on if your site will host more than one forum.

A forum is defined as: "A meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged."

So if you intend on hosting more than one, I would advise going with 'forums'.

It doesn't matter which you choose, but if you are going to be like omni and host multiple sites i would go with the value 's' if not just go with forum.

i would go with the s if multiple, no s if not.


RE: Domain Name Forum or Forums ? - DragScope - 06-27-2011

yes the value will be more without the " S "

I don't like the idea of any. It just seems too much like what omni does.

I would go with the forums.com domain.
Many forums these days go by that, instead of forum.com

If you really want to shoot for the forum.com domain, I suggest making it name-forum.com

Forums, I like it that way.

Well this is support forums. A forum is also knows as a section. It's just one forum, forums is all the single "forum" compiled into the site Smile
