The top 10 unintentionally worst company URLs
Attn: Entrepreneurs
Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today’s world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as other see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn’t give their domain names enough consideration:
1. A site called ‘Who Represents‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is
www.whorepresents.com
2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at
www.expertsexchange.com
3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at
www.penisland.net
4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at
www.therapistfinder.com
5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company…
www.powergenitalia.com
6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
www.molestationnursery.com
7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always
www.ipanywhere.com
8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is
www.cummingfirst.com
9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their whacky website:
www.speedofart.com
10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at
www.gotahoe.com
But wait! There’s more!: Independent Sources’ list of unnecessary redundancies repeated more than once. If that’s not enough, see 100 Things you do not want to hear from your System Administrator! We have other posts about clueless businesses here. And
“Oh no! Mom and Dad are on MySpace again!”
For better or worse, these have been some of our most popular stories (click on the photo):

If you look closely at the penisland.net site it’s obvious that the site creator set it up intentionally as a joke. As one example, read the copy on the pre-designed page… “Just tell us a little bit about the size, color, texture, and taste of the pen you’re looking for, and we’ll see what can do.”
That aside, the other site URLs are very funny. Great list!

it being mentioned during the National Day Rally. The news about the “NYP Event” is really hilarious…and gross at the same time. 3) Others I also found a very interesting site listing “extra-ordinary” local style ring tones. And who can forget this 10 worst company url. There’s very pro flash animation that shows you why “Men don’t care about quality” when they’re drunk… 4) Music Not funny but I just want to record these down. Talk about some of the most famous songs of the 90s.

At least I didn’t make this mistake when I chose Third Nature as a company name. I think my favorite is Go Tahoe.
