So i am in the middle of starting my own company in computer support(focusing on teaching people how to use email, printer etc and solving problems that might be standing in their way). But i need a name, website, Email and phone number. The last one i have figured out as that is just a if it is kind of easy to remember its okay. But figuring out an E-mail and website requires a name for the company.

I have heard some people that named company’s with their name in it and regret it later. So how would one properly name a company? I am based in the EU if it matters but i don’t think this is something that is different in different cultures.

Things i currently think about are (my name) tech service and (my location(city)) tech service but i don’t know if that is a good idea and if i might get regrets in the future(for example when expanding to more locations or getting employees).

Thanks for your vision on this.

    To me it makes sense to stay away from your name or location in case you want to sell the business or expand. Generic and memorable is good like maybe CompAssist or ComputerHelpers, but unfortunately a lot of those domain names are taken. Geography might help, like maybe ValleyTopTech or MountainGeeks or RiverComputerHelp.

    Good luck!
