Why does GoDaddy do so well? They don't offer any special services...

Do you want cookie cutter hosting... just like every other one out there or do you want to stand for something different... that's what you need to decide.

You seem to like fitting in with the crowd with this one, which isn't wrong, and I think both are perfectly fine, neither stands out as a better option.

I would suggest think of something crazy cool... stand out... you can still benefit from keywords in the domain. Try seomaxwebhosting.com and throw in some free seo tool or something, that will stand out to anyone interested in seo to see what you are doing over there. or try something like cashbackwebhosting.com, where each month pick a user to get $50 or something...

If you go with a crazy name (which you said you definitely dont want to) of course it will be a royal PAIN to inform people what it is you are doing... plus you may not get any keywords in the domain. BUT in 5 years from now, it will be worth something more than what coastwebhosting.com ever will be. That is the benefit. The brand could have serious value far exceeding what coastwebhosting ever could.

I hope that helps you, I do branding and marketing work for startups and small businesses, so I could go on and on...
