To be honest, I don't think it was the wisest of ideas to post it up on a forum where others can snatch it under you.

My 2 cents....

Most of those domains seem very bland, boring and generic and don't stand out at all. In fact, they're all so generic that after I read them I immediately forgot them all. That's a bad sign from a consumer perspective

Rather than focus on the use of the word "host" and other generic terms like "network" et all, why not go for something more brandable as an image or concept?

I'm really not a fan of putting an adjective infront of "rack" for use in a company name, maybe because I'm male, maybe because I'm young and immature, but it just doesn't seem to be a good choice for a name.

But I have to agree with Glance about rapidhost.biz and that it is a good name. But if you can't get the .com you loose some big SEO right off the bat.

Also agreeing with Jules, try to extend beyond the terms of host, network, and those sorts of things. Look through a thesaurus and dictionary and see what are similar words and that might inspire you to think of some pretty kick-ass names.

I like Rapidrack.com, and though I see Jules' point, I think the word host in the domain name gives you advantage by the fact of its presence, as it helps to identify your business.

I agree, hence the name of our host

"rapidrack.com" gives you the impression of offering rack space or co-location, which I imagine isn't the authors original intention. It could be very misleading to potential clients.

I think you are partly right here.

I guess you should include the word "host" gives you more chances to attract clients.
