What is the best domain name for an online hotel search engine?

[Guest12120]

Would you go for the fictional name like Orbitz.com or something more descriptive like suitesandrooms.com?

It's gotta be brandable. Brands >>> any SEO advantages you may have

What about suitehunter.com? I bought this domain recently. I thought it sounds pretty good however the search engine is not only for suites so it might be a little misleading.

A hotel search engine? Sounds redundant.

It may seems that way, but it will be unique. There is nothing like this on the market right now.

What about SuitesandDreams.com ? I like the play on words, but I'm not sure if I've seen a successful business use a name that's a play on words, but I'm sure one has to exist.

I like more informational names. Nondescript names takes more marketing, $$ for awareness to educate the consumers.

Lodging.com

It would be nice if you could still get domains like this. Now it's more like thelodgingsite.com

Lodgedesk.com sounds pretty nice.

What do you think about XRayedHotels.com?

Me no like.

Your best bet would be the secondary market for a brandable fictional name.

I'm not big on the descriptive names.

Why not just pick any name, create the site, test the market, and then spend time on branding assuming your minimum viable product floats?

 

[Guest12120]

The site building is in progress, however I am a little behind the schedule with gathering content due to the hurricane.
Hopefully in a week or two everything will be back to normal.
I will take your advise JAJT and focus on building the product and worry about the name later down the road.

How do you know when your MVP is "floating"? Maybe you can check out my INSIDERS thread to see where mines heading.
