How did you come up with your company name?

...says the guy in Korea.  Ominous :p
Haha.

To set the record straight I did eat dog once, and it was delicious!

But... I'm also a dog person.  As in I absolutely loved our Fraternity's German Shepard Dog!!! (and no I did not cook him up and eat him)

Came up with this... By looking at names that the domains with .com were still available to register at the time really...

I was shopping for something more traditional - like think 50-100 year old term that encompasses a piece of what I do professionally.

Ran a few words and then pluralized one.  Presto, domain available.   That's as far as I've gotten on new company thing officially, so far.

Without meaning to take this too far off topic - what are your thoughts on unused domains being sat there doing nothing (or very little)?

With VPN.sh it was simply a domain that somebody was selling at the same time that I was putting together a VPN service. Worked out fairly nicely, as VPN.* domains generally get sold fairly quickly, and it was ideal for me to grab the domain at the time.

Older domains really don't bring any value added benefit.  Demand for "aged" domains always makes me laugh. Fine to use though.

I think the domain scamster folks took the aging idea from shelf corporations [which honestly worth while ones come with various credit worthy abilities and you pay handsomely for].

Mine is pretty straight forward, but does have a background.

VPS for the service that I Offer and Aliens, as I have always been very fascinated with them. My father was almost 60 when I was born. He had worked as a Laborer when the Built  Area 51 in Roswell, NM! I still have a Paystub of his and memories of his stories about working there. :)

I was sitting thinking of a name when one of my kids trying to break me out of my trance and get me to play give the back of my chair a kick, missed and hit me in the ass, and than it came to me.

Sat around one night with my partner trying to think of names, we knew we wanted to be able to make a strong mascot based off the name. Although we're still working on effectively using this mascot we have one designed that we love!

I spent some time with my friend writing down good names, and afterwards we went online to check if at least one name is available. We found out that one was available so we sent it to multiple people to see what they think about our name. We received positive feedback from everyone! :)

Sort story:

Came from catchy words like License[Pal] and License[Cube] and cart is related to shopping.

Long story:

Asked Paul if I could use Blesta in the domain because I was going to sell Blesta licenses only, Paul recommended not to because of trademark stuff and it what if I was to sell other licenses in the future, I searched for license__ words which I liked and Paul and myself loved cart because it's a shoppingcart. so that was registered and a logo bought from Ypson.
