However from GoDaddy.com, it still belongs to the original owner, Brent Rotondi. I don’t how and why, but when I type “crowdfavorite.com”, it takes me to “crowdfavorite.net”.

It's nice and clean and well organized, but it's got spunk. :D I agree with everyone else, very nice looking site. It’s nice and clean and well organized, but it’s got spunk. :D

I think you've made the right choice in terms of fave vs. favourite, too - as you rightly say, it's the name of the business, and you shouldn't have any problems with people going "how is that shortened?". You could always point crowdfave at the main URL, too.

You won't regret it, trust me! In my haze of my comment the other night, I forgot to mention that even though commongrounddistributors.com is long and ugly [two "d's" next to each other], it is quite simple to say and people can type it as you say it. About the only problem I see with crowdfavorite.net is the UK spelling, but I think you've already registered that name. FWIW, I think you made a very wise choice. I believe it will become a crowd favorite. ;) Glad you went with the full company name. You won’t regret it, trust me!
