Hi everybody

I'm starting a small 3d company. The business name is quite long, lets say it's something like: "The Young Thinkers". Can you guys advise what web name I should prefer:

theyoungthinkers.com
the.young.thinkers.com
studioYT.com

any suggestions are welcome.
Thak you for your time

Depends on what domain you can buy? Could you have any of the above?

I'd be inclined to pick 1 without the 'the' - the more the concise the better - keywords in domains don't hurt either.

The second one is unnatural and should be avoided. Using subdomains should be reserved for additional functions where necessary IMO. There are clever exceptions - eg del.icio.us.com

No. 3 is OK but might be too generic, unless you want the freedom to expand into other disciplines.

(added - welcome

)

The second one is awful. The first one, or what Limbo said would be good.

1 or 3

Thank you very much.
Now it seems as an evidence. I will try "youngthinkers" it 's available. If not.... I have to think of another one... ;-)

cheers

I agree with the other posts, would have said to not use "the" in the domain name, its a waste and not needed.

Do not use the 2nd one, and avoid that trend that was cool a while back using dots in the domain name. As said, it hinders its use and understanding, and confuses certain users.

You can always go for young-thinkers if youngthinkers isnt available.

Ouch, devilish. But the domain seems to be taken already by quite a beautiful site.
