[Stockkid]

Recently picked this up, Was going to develop a classical music website, but might just move domain on? Any ideas or advice?

Cheers

It's a great name.

Try flipping it to an end user - definitely worth a go.

Market for classic cars.

Brandable name.. Could be the new Autotrader for classic cars

hmm not sure about this, never heard them called classical cars

To an end user it's a mid x,xxx name all day long, maybe even more!

That's why I said brandable

Classic cars would be the correct name.

It is brandable for Classic - could even have a second-hand car dealer character "Classic Al".

But using it for Classical music makes more sense.

Worth noting that the most natural two word competitor classicalmusic.co.uk redirects through to Classic FM's .com site, so there's no risk of confusion.

It's a very strong name, but building a site to match (given the massive range of classical music) is near impossible. Personally, I'd buy a couple of Classical Music magazines, and look for companies advertising in there that have a decent site but a daft web address.

I think for Classical Music - definitely a goer. I nearly bought this myself when WB advertised.

Trouble is to compete in the classical music market you'll need to throw an awful lot of money at a site development?

Try the BEEB, Classic FM, etc?

This, or try pitching it to the site mentioned in the thread you bought it from.

Thanks for all your feedback! Much appreciated, might move it on through domain lore or sedo?
