Use IRC as a contrarian indicator.
@miTgib @Zen
How many people NOT on IRC have said the same thing about the name though... That's why i started this thread and all it did was confirm that i really should change the name and pick it wisely because it will not be changed again.
Did you get this idea from IRC though? I use IRC opinion as do the opposite. I really like IRC, I enjoy goofing off in there, but sound business ideas are very rare there. think of IRC as the Life cereal commercial, they hate everything.
I didn't see your answer, but someone asked, what does UG mean? I mean if it is UglyGirlVPS, yeah, might be a good idea, but UberGirlVPS you can run with.
I'm on IRC and not on IRC at the same time, I say rebrand! I said it to you from da start. :P
This.
IRC or not, Its bad. There are what 2-3 people fighting me to keep the name? The decision to rebrand has been made. I'm researching ideas as we speak. I'll keep everyone posted.
I do like the name uglygirlvps. Very Geek Sheik.
When we thought of our name it was wanting to be the gold standard in hosting.
@UGVPS - What ever you decide on - forget branding as the be all and end all. Most people don't understand what a brand is (especially brand consultants), or that it is 1 thing out of 100+ things that needs to be thought about when marketing. Things that trump brand, names of company etc are what @ElliotJ pointed out, Reputation as well as Positioning.
UpGradedVPS.
OGVPS
Some suggestion
@UGVPS I would go with tlcvps.com - the domain name is still available. Total Love & Care VPS. What could be better than that?
Not anymore
Egh, you should've been around when (I think it was Shane) was here, he said he was going to buy a domain because it's available or something along the lines of that and Salvatore registered it before him then gave it to him but yeah, that should serve as a lesson..
@Infinity Agreed, a PM would have been better.
Hey.. Y'know if my VPS provider wants to give me Tender, Loving Care that's fine.
I've seen enough pictures of providers here. I'd prefer they didn't.
While I'm happily married and I wouldn't give anyone any kind of tender love other than to my own wife, I wouldn't say that I look that bad...
Something about facial hair and not being female that just turns me off.
Lol, well it's not supposed to turn you on in the first place :P
With all due respect when I saw UGVPS for the first time, my mind read it out as "ugly VPS".
My first though was "UG Nazi", as in the hacking group. Then my second thought was yours........."ugly vps".
So what does "UGVPS" stand for in the end? Please tell us, we all want to know
UGVPS - uberly good vps.
Imho UGVPS sounds like UnderGround VPS, so some kind of kiddy host.
@rds100 GOOG says: Underground VPS
Apparently according to the queen herself ( @UGVPS ), it doesn't mean anything. At least that's what she said in IRC to @mitgib.
@Infinity
This is correct. The name does not currently have any meaning. I'm still looking over options ill keep you guys posted when i figure out what I'm doing.
no.
