While at the office, I spoke with a GoDaddy representative over the phone who later laughed at how the latest domain I purchased was a “CompanyNameSucks.com” domain (he already knew why I did it). Personally, I was amazed that it was still available due to some of the other negativity I’ve seen about my employer via a simple Google, Twitter or Youtube search.

Have you registered your “CompanyNameSucks.com” yet? If not, you should – someone might just beat you to it!

If you thought it might be illegal for anyone to ever be able to use it, just visit PayPalSucks.com to see how that is far from true. Remember – as long as they’re not impersonating or profiting off a company or causing “commercial confusion,” but, rather putting up a parody, humor or review site, it will probably fly. To add insult to injury, it just might be competing with your own site on the first page of a search result.

If your company has a major product or brand, you’ll most likely want to pick up the “…sucks.com” version of it, as well. Don’t bother or worry about .net or .org, we all know how department heads can get all hissy over spending another $8 ;)

The extra change it costs to buy a domain name like this is minuscule compared to the amount of damage a “…sucks.com” domain can do – food for thought!
