believe it or not, I know of several businesses that registered their business names as HYPHENS
one example was company-produce.com
company=example
anyway, he was looking for some web work, so I look for his site and see the hyphen, so I registered the domain name without the hyphen
when I went to do my pitch I explained to him whoever did his stuff before knew nothing about the net
I said why did you use a hyphen
he says the web designer RECOMMENDED IT
so I explain he needs the name with no hyphens
he says "I BETTER REGISTER IT"
I explained I already did
hehe
anyway, I gave him the name and charged him big time for the design we did for him
tons of hyphens in major movie domain sites too
personally I don&
#039;t like them, but some businesses INTENTIONALLY register them
in this case it should be an easy sell to find a stock-broker that wants it
