  Old  Domain Question

Ok, I have been thinking of a name for my design company (because the layout/ coding of my site is nearly complete.) I wanted to make the name of the site "Minds Eye Creation" (or something close). But when checking for the domains availibility I found www.mindseyecreation.com and .net is taken.

My question is, If I added the S to creation would it be a huge deal?
(By the way, your answers arent going to affect my decision, I already have another company name set-up [I hope]).
Im just curious.

Holy crap, Julian your good!
At the bottom of my post where I said I have another name "sorted" out. Thats what I was thinking of. Never got around to checking it tho.
Ill take it that having one extra letter in a domain name isnt a good idea.

Good luck finding a 3 letter .com available as there are none. They've all been used or squatted for years now.

and .net .org .biz .us

However if you look at eBay or some of the popular domain name forums you will find people selling 3 letter domain names pretty reasonble.

~~~~~edit~~~~~~~~`
In looking back over my post I should really have said 3 character domains. 3 "letter" .com or .net domains are probably not being sold that reasonable.

Romanos: There are several 3 *char* nets available. If you don't mind letter-number combos, there are plenty of em. However they don't currently have any secondary market value. They're good for testing out new pages when you don't want to do a lot of typing each time you check, but that's about it.
