Default Domain names that were not proof read

All of these are legitimate companies that didn't spend quite enough time considering how their online names might appear ... and be misread.



1. Who Represents is where you can find the name of the agent that represents any elebrity. Their Web site is _ www.whorepresents.com _

2. Experts Exchange is a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at _ www.expertsexchange.com_

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at _ www.penisland.net_

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at _ www.therapistfinder.com_

5. There's the Italian Power Generator company, _ www.powergenitalia.com_

6. And don't forget the Mole Station Native Nursery in New South Wales, _ www.molestationnursery.com_

7. If you're looking for IP computer software, there's always _ www.ipanywhere.com_

8. The First Cumming Methodist Church Web site is _ www.cummingfirst.com_

9. And the designers at Speed of Art await you at their wacky Web site, _ www.speedofart.com_

There was one, ages ago, that doesn't seem to exist any more...

Fulham Underwater Canoeing Klub

And yes, the domain-name was the obvious!

Sorry to piss on your fire but as a regular user of www.experts-exchange.com it has a hyphen. Type in the URL you have and it goes to a holding page.

One of Swedens larger factoring companies is named Faktab, not that clever if you got international customers who think it sounds like Fuckedup.

They are finally changing their name though.

2. Experts Exchange is a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views.

Have a re-read of my original post.

It doesnt go to the description in option 2 but to a holding type page. Those kind of sites that the URL goes to are holding type sites. Some bigger domains point to those kind of "lifestye" sites that are from other countries. Not a true holding page but the site is pointless.
