Domain Name:
 

The county I live in has a website with the domain name being the name of the county.

I am considering registering a domain name using the name of the county with "site" added to the county name.

In other words:

countyname.com is the county website domain name.

countynamesite.com is the domain name I am considering.

Should I expect the county to give me any trouble about the domain name?

Maybe 3 Sq.'s at county's expense.:winkwink:

You should have no trouble. There have been a few (very few) cases where a city or country has gone after someone, but as far as I know, it's always been the exact name of the entity, and they usually lose.

There have been a couple of cases where they won in arbitration, but you can always appeal it to a court which would likely throw it out. The bottom line is that you should have nothing to worry about.

Any more input about this?

I own a bunch of names with city and state in them and i never had any problem.
peace
