Using a company name within domain

by Blue445nm

If I wanted a domain like this:

compaqmonitors.com
compaqspeakers.com
compaqmouses.com
emachineskeyboards.com
emachinesmonitors.com

Yes or no? What if it was a fan/review site? What if it was a news site about that certain keyword?

Could I make the domain and throw amazon on there?

    Hello, if you don’t own the company which you want to put in your domain name, then I that’s actually copyright domain name infringement. The only way I would recommend this is if you check with the company whose name you want to use in your domain and they say its OK!


    Any company can actually get a domain taken down for copyright infringement, so all the work you put into that website would be a waste of time.


    Hope this helps

      That's right. You could check with the company and get written permission to do it but more times than not the answer, if you get one, will be no.

      You'd be best off to use a generic name that is relevant.
