  Old  Same sound, different spelling

Since most good domains are no longer available, a few resort to different spellings with different meanings. I believe it has disadvantages especially if you relay or somebody refers this certain domain names to others. The hearer might go to a different web address.

For example:
Webhost.com - but you own wavehost.com, the referred will go to the former.
Cybersite.com - you have Sibersite.com

I'd add heer ********.biz. There are a lot of web hosting companies in the Internet that differ only some letters in their domains.

yeah it can be confusing and unfortunate for hosting companies that lead their clients to another hosting provider due to a spelling mistake.
