Can any of you fluent Spanish speakers help me out here?

I'm looking for suitable Spanish words ending in "es" to register as domain names. The registered domain would look like resourc.es

I'm thinking particularly of words or phrases that suggest themes such as: environmentally-friendly, sustainable living, green, renewable energy, low-energy house building - all with a hint of hi-tec involvement.

The plan is to host my public web site tracking the research, development, and build of my Spanish straw-bale home on the domain.

Thanks :)

I don´t know if it´s true, but when my wife tried to register a domain name ending in .es she was told by her graphic designer that this was reserved for a particular type of company (S.L. or something). As an autonoma she was told she couldn´t have .es and had to choose something else instead.

But in case I´m wrong, how about:

www.casassostenibl.es
www.casasverd.es
www.construccionesverd.es
www.somosverd.es

What would you like to say in English?

To make this more interesting, how about we turn it into a competition?

Who-ever comes up with the domain I finally choose, I'll register and host (on my servers) their own domain free-of-charge.

The domain doesn't have to be a .es, it can be com, net, org, biz, info, eu, uk, us, tv, mobi, and a whole host of others that I forget now :)

I take it you don´t like my ideas so far

Thanks for that information, Yvonne. I may have seen that house - could it be this one? That web site has quite a few casas de balas de paja listed and in its photo-gallery.

If you have the issue number(s) of La Luz where the house is featured I'll put it in my research notes in case I or others are interested in the future.

I've been checking on English names that are currently registered that match their Spanish counterparts - I'd hate to choose a fabulous Spanish domain name and find the equivalent English name already registered :curse:

For example, ecohousebuild is available across all the primary TLDs (top-level domains) but I'm not sure whether the Spanish equivalent would trip off the tongue quite so well.

The good thing is, although I'm looking for a primary name to host the site with that captures the spirit, I can register any number of other domain names and set the server to alias them to the primary name.


If I knew that...! :D Most likely it'll be Andalucía, probably inland from the Costa del Sol area.
