Hello HN Fellows,

I hope you're doing well!

Could you kindly share your thoughts on which of the following domain names would be the best fit for an international trading company?

1. GlobalTradeWorlds.com

2. GlobalEximX.com

Or anything else?

Thank you in advance for your time and feedback!

I’ll take option 1. Why, because it’s prettier. Ain’t any other way to draw conclusions I can see.

Would this company be dealing with the general public? Or just manufacturers, shippers, wholesalers, and such? If the latter - then the domain name matters far less, industry insider lingo is fine, and shorter is better.

1 looks okay, maybe try some other relevant words combinations!

The second sounds like you wanted to be GlobalExim, but the name was taken... akin to having JohnSmith2 username.

So I would go with the first. (Anything else vote: CompuGlobalHyperMegaNet)

EDIT: Don't get anything containing a plural (such as "Worlds"), unless you also have the singular version.
