I think I’ve reached the point where I’m no longer surprised by the new hosting company names I come across. Looking back over the years I’ve been in the industry, I must say the times have completely changed from the generic names to the most random. Here’s a quick list of random (my own opinion) company names I can think of.

  • BiteSplit – Company is no longer around, but they were a “No BS” host, as they called it.
  • VPSLatch – VPS latch, latch onto what? I don’t get it.
  • SpeedySparrow – I <3 this one
  • SemoWeb – South East Missouri State fan?
  • GG Web Hosting – GG? Go Gaga for Lady Gaga? Not sure on this one, though he could be Korean and is using it to recall his StarCraft days of owning people and saying GG for good game.

I was able to pull this list of companies off the top of my head because the first time I saw each of these company names, I tried to figure out what the owner was thinking when he/she started the company. Coming up with a catchy and easy to remember name is key, especially when a large majority of their advertising is done online and it’s very easy to misspell something.

Just remember, when coming up with a new company name, keep it simple, unique, and easy to remember! :)
