Domain names for eCommerce site

I'm after a bit of advice re: domain names for a supplement site. The brand name I've chosen is already in use so I'm looking for suitable alternatives.

For example if my name was "Health Plus" I have something like the following in mind:

-myhealthplus.com
-healthplusonline.com
-Gethealthplus.com
etc....

Could be convinced otherwise, but I'm not excited about .net,co etc, as I think they lack some legitimacy and they're less memorable than .com's +suffix/prefix.

Thoughts?

    If the other site is healthplus.com, none of those would be suitable. You'd be opening yourself up for a trademark infringement fight for one thing and it would just be weird having a secondary site with the same main name.

    I personally hate all the mydomainname, getdomainname and domainnameonline domains. They're cheesy. Be original. Choose a domain that no one else has and don't add cheesy prefixes or suffixes to it.

    I would do even keyword research for my domain name as url/ permalinks will also have an impact on the searchability of your website on search engine.

    For example, if you have a site that sells health supplements, I'd rather go for something like "XXXhealthsupplements.com"then "Healthplus.com"since people in need of health supplements may tend to search for the term "health supplements" than "healthplus"as a brand, unless, of course, your brand name is huge like "Centrum"then people may search specifically for that.

    If I were you I might go for something like healthplusmania, healthplusheaven, or something similar to it. If I really want to make it a Brand Name.
