Web address
(OP)
I have posted some questions about web addresses in the past which were well answered. That thread is now closed, and I have another question.
- Suppose you have a company named "Yardman".
- Suppose the web address www.yardman.com is taken.
- Suppose www.yard-man.com is available. Also www.yardman.co is available.

I rebranded to practicalprecision.com a little over a year ago, and I'm so thankful I did.
Of the two choices you give, "yardman.co" is preferable to "yard-man.com". You don't want to spend a decade effectively telling people your company is "yard dash man".
yardmanengineering.com or similar would be better.
Better yet would be a clear, memorable brand with meaning.

As for bad names, I recently saw a car with the license plate "THERAPST". My first thought was, who wants to be known as 'The Rapist'. When I past the car and saw that the driver was female, I concluded she was probably a therapist.
RE: Web address
Or, make an imperative sentence from it: chooseYardman.com, specYardman.com, buyYardman.com, contactYardman.com, callYardman.com .
