Harold brings up some very good points. Most people will instinctively go for the non-dash.
Here's the thing, lots of businesses started with poor domain names and they were able to...

Completely agree turboguy. I thought the same things with each of these.

Hi RW4N, These names don't give me context. Nothing about these names tell me what you do; there's no emotional trigger with each of them and I'm left feeling very confused. Can you give us some more...
