name for company

I own a computer solution company. We set up computer labs for schools, small businesses, etc. I want to branch out the company to include web design, and I have been going through names and am a little stuck. I wanted to just see what some of you thought of this:

Master Pages
Master Pages Internet Services
(something like that)

The idea being .master pages in asp.net.
I don't code everything in .net, but it seemed clever as a name.

as for domain, masterpages.com is taken by some ad-blaster of course,
master-pages.com is available, but I'm NOT a fan of hyphenated domains at all. masterpagesinternetservices.com is available but it wears my fingers out to type it all in the address bar!

Any suggestions on how to twist the name to make it into an available domain, or thoughts on the name?
Is it a bad idea all together? Maybe it only sounds good to me!!

Thanks so much everyone,
Dru

It must be short, easy to remember and include your company name or abbreviation. Try to think about that in such way. Good luck.

Whats your first impression of Master Pages?

It's an ok name. You could always get that business off the ground and start many more later. If you come up with something else later, dissolve one or just own two.

- What about masterpages.biz or masterpages.us ?

yes I agree with Siber... MPSolutions.com is a good name or Master-pages instead of that long name... since it's just a business name hypen won't affect you or your domain!!

yes, I would agree with SiberForum, but once again, it is your choice.

I think the short name of Master Pages is best. Easy to remember, too. Plus it can be understood when it's spoken over the phone. Whereas, MP can be difficult and could require... M as in Master... P as in Pages... that sort of thing.

Good luck.
