How To Name Your Business or Website
Finding a good Top Lever Domain for your business is challenging. About the only way you can get a good Dot Com is to use numbers in the domain name (Like host405.com). The other Top Level Domains like .io .biz .co .me etc work just as well if most of your advertising is going to be online and people will get to your site by clicking. 20 years ago all the traffic to a site was driven by radio and TV. If you plan on using these mediums to advertise you will most likely need to spend some money and purchase an easy to remember domain.
Makes sense. Bob.me definitely is a great name. It is hard to find good .com domains, but i guess if you can find a simple tld, that can help. So is there a business bob me inc? Or is it just owned by another company?

As for Bob.me. The domain is owned by me so it is personal property. The site therefore is personal property. At some point I may consider forming an LLC and transferring the assets associated with Bob.me to the LLC. Usually in starting up a business it isn’t necessary to take on the expense of the filings and ongoing expense of maintaining the entity with the State, IRS etc.
If you are starting a business with other people being owners then a LLC or Corporation will usually be necessary. There can be a simple written agreement between parties early on but it would be more prudent to go ahead and form a LLC.
