Tech Do you think "tek" is a reasonable subsitute for "tech" in a domain? - GoFuckYourself.com

As the title says.. I'm curious if others think "Tek" would be reasonable substitute slang word used in a domain where "tech" isn't available for the given phrase.

Tek is the brand name of a self drilling and tapping metal screw -- that is my first thought association with that word.

TEK is a part of a lot of trademarks

Trademarks | USPTO
Search database for trademark registrations and applications by mark, owner, or serial/registration number with Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS)

Make sure your name would not infringe.

It doesn't nothing even close to being related.

Yeah "Tek" is a reasonable substitute for tech 👍😁

Due diligence for trademark / service mark, also check domain history for any a previous disputes and you're good to go!

Not going to work like you wish. Completely different word and meaning or it would have been co-opted long ago.

Barry-xlovecam · 05-29-2017, 05:59 AM

tec is a better alternative to tech

That achieved branding.

If you root name + tech +tec is not available I would get a new plan. Too much name confusion ...

tec isn't available, or I'd have went with it. The thing is if I use "tek" I can go with a 6 letter domain vs say a 9 or 12 letter name..

tek in my case would be in line with technology.. So something like

pctek or spacetek as examples of how I'd use it.. If I use tek I can get a nice short name vs something much longer.

Funny, but i had exact same issue 16 years ago, so in the end i went with technology instead. But i never builded anything on site so it didn't matter in the end. Domain which i registered then was VRTechnology.com , tho dont remember what i was planning to do with it.

Barry-xlovecam · 05-29-2017, 07:03 AM

You can always buy a .tech name cheap -- the domain name slippage factor will be the same. I would find a name I could register in the .com and the .tech TLDs

root_word.com
root_word.tech

301 the .com

Dicktek.com is available for anyone promoting technological solutions for dicks 👍😁

Tektronics has been around forever and they use tek as a synonym for tech

Yeah, I'm kinda going with the idea that quite a few companies already use it as a synonym so I'm thinking it's acceptable.

My target audience will be traffic coming from various Web forums and social media where I expect people will drop links to the site for informational purposes. This is why I want a short easy to remember name.

CaptainHowdy · 05-29-2017, 09:15 AM

It's not that far off, tekné is the spanish for the greek τέχνη (craft, technique).

I got a great 3 letter (with 2 vowels) .io domain a while back. If .io is an option for you I bet there's lots of good ones left, just a thought, not trying to get you off track 😉. Tek is cool 👍

Na, I'll only buy a .com but I have 2 choice root words that I can pick between (both mean the same thing so combining them doesn't work) one is 3 letters the other is 2 letters. Meaning it's very hard combo to find a open name with out adding a 3rd word.

If I use the 3 letter root I can use tek but for the 2 letter version nothing is available that is reasonably short or meaningful.

Cool .com is the trusted standard 👍😁

You run the risk of someone not finding the site if told about it verbally.

So the choice is between:

tektek.com
tectectec.com
or tectectectec.com?

I would choose the first...
