Naming a business

Written by Rich on July 9th, 2007

At the end of OSDC last year I decided it was the right time to kick start my business and get out of cubeville. I’ve owned a company for many years now but it hasn’t done much since I stopped contracting. To get out of cubeville was going to require a new focus, new business plan, new customers and a new name.

While most people can get away with naming a company after themselves it’s a little harder when your name is Buggy. Can you imagine an IT company called Buggysoft, Buggy Consulting , Buggy Labs or Buggy Training? After tossing up names for months the company was renamed to Zoombug two weeks ago.

So what does Zoombug do? We provide LAMP consulting/development and PHP training. During the next six months the focus will be on growing the client base and releasing more code as open source.

    Good job with the business name. I can understand your dilemma as I have a funny last name, too. “Good” “sell”. Put the two together and that’s my last name.

    I’m entering the world of developing my business as well. I will want to continue learning LAMP to create a web-enabled and C++ driven application for SCADA radio-telemetry. I ran into your website trying to find a solution to start a Bind9 server so I can play with my website internally on my network. I found your help one of the only updated sources on the net for achieving this through Ubuntu.
