Many business owners struggle with coming up with short, unique company names because most of the time, they are unavailable for use in specific jurisdictions. In our case, we tried to acquire the company name “Epica” at first, but it was not easy, too. Then, the next problem after acquiring a short, unique company name is acquiring a domain name. Getting a .com domain for company is even more difficult as many domains are already taken up.
In this guide we will teach you a cool trick to generate a short, unique company name and ensure that a domain name (with a .com extension) is available for your Singapore company.
Generating a Short, Unique Company Name and Acquiring a Domain Name for a Singapore Company: What Is a Domain Name?

Generating a Short, Unique Company Name and Acquiring a Domain Name for a Singapore Company: Using NameMesh
Most short, unique company and domain names have already been used by other companies. Hence, the trick would be doing what start-ups are primarily doing in applications, web apps, and e-commerce businesses—using NameMesh. NameMesh is a website that helps business owners generate unique names for their companies and domains.
For example, “headphonesk,” “headphonets,” and “headphoneplus” appear to be the available domain names for the word “headphones.” Evidently, these domain names are not actual English words and they are a bit modified to arrive at something unique. In this case, you may acquire “headphoneplus” as your domain name and register a company with name Headphone Plus Pte Ltd.
Similarly, if you are into baking and want to set up a bakery, then you can try searching for the word “bake.” NameMesh will then provide you with various names for your company and domain.
Generating a Short, Unique Company Name and Acquiring a Domain Name for a Singapore Company: Why Is the .com Extension Difficult to Acquire?
The .com extension is a worldwide domain, which makes its acquisition as a domain name more difficult. Websitehostingrating.com says that there are over 342 million domain names incorporated across all top-level domains, and the .com extension is included in the top-level domains list.
Localizing domain names can be carried out by some business owners, depending on the policies of their home countries. However, the .com extension is not suitable for localized domain names. Here in Singapore, companies may prefer to localize their domain names by having the .sg or .com.sg extension. If you are going for a local extension then the options available increase greatly.
