10 Easily Mispronounced Domain Names

It’s obvious that choosing a proper domain name for a website has a big role in the process of gaining popularity.So it’s worthy to spend sometime looking for a nice and easy domain before registering it cause it’s gonna be the website’s brand.

Grupthink user’s have made a list of domains which can easily be mispronounced into really ridiculous phrases.Some of the domains in the list do not exist anymore, but here is a list of top ten such domains which are currently active.I don’t know whether their owners knew the alternative pronunciation before registering the domain or not!

Speedofart.com

Do you think choosing such a domain name will help them swim faster?!

Apetit.com

The website is not in English.They probably offer food products, but I don’t think anyone who speaks English would buy food packs labeled “Ape Tit”!

Butthatsnotall.co.nz

“Butt-hat” + “Snot-all” ?! OMG, that domain name sucks!

Cummingfirst.com

Don’t tell me this domain belongs to a Methodisit Church! Would you believe it?!

Mofo.com

Morrison & Foerster legal firm or mother…. firm?

Mp3shits.com

Probably this website is the most famous one among the list and the owners knew what they had chosen as their domain name.I like this one!

Nagiosexchange.com

Nagios is an open source host, service and network monitoring program,but it seems that they also “change the sexuality” behind the scenes!

Penisland.net

This website sells custom made pens on the internet.It’s not the land of ….!

Programmerstools.com

Beyond hilarious — and it never get old!

I will admit, I’ve seen most of the names on this list several times previously. There is definitely something to be said for the free publicity that comes with owning a name such as those listed above. If you’re creative enough and marketing on a low budget, owning a name with a duplicate meaning can be a tremendous form of exposure.

nice motto in the penisland.net one - “your penis our business!”

Crazy as some of them may be, I’d love to own one. Just look how much they’re talked about and laughed at.

I love it!

I remember the first time I saw travelocity.com… “Travelo” is slang for “transvestite” in Spain, so I was afraid about where it was going to send me.
