What is your most common misspelling of CLourdon?

[kymj8]

I think I have only mispelled it once: cloduron

But I am reminded of this mistake often as objectstorage-test-for-cloduron is the name of the S3 bucket I have been using for for over a year.

It also reminds me that Cloudron things often just work from the get go.
I will use something shorter and without mistakes when I move to a different provider.

The name is excellent. And congratulations on having the .com.

I think it's the vowels which disturb the brain-fingers interaction - maybe just go with CLDRN ?

Very creative, both !

Might be "Clodron" somewhere, no? That's how I misspell it sometimes, though now with this reply I was about to type "Coldron". I guess this is when the server is very quiet, then you get a "Coldron"

Cloudtron is definitely most common. I think CloudIron and Cloudrun are second.

Could you build a few pages into the main Cloudron website with Cloudtron, Cloudrun as the main words? Have these automatically redirect to the main Cloudron landing page?

I love Cloudron, but my initial reaction to the name choice was not particularly positive, as "being in the cloud" was what I didn't want. Self-hostable was more in my mind. Having a name end in "ron" was a bit kind of cheesy, I thought too, somewhat outdated, like "a-doo-ron-ron-ron, a doo-ron-ron" era, and old fashioned, 1950s way of making something sound like it it was a computer. AI now is good at generating names for products, or roleplay characters, by the way.

The Cloudron.io domain I actually do like for a couple of reasons. I believe the .io country domain helps the people of the Indian Ocean islands gain some revenue. I also think .io is still cool, with the input/output vibe and it has come to denote that it is a more modern organization than one of those .com companies that all went bust in the naughties.

Here are some quick AI names just as an example:

LibreHost
OpenSphere
FreePort
SelfStart
OpenHarbor
IndependentCore
FreedomHub
OSSphere
UnchainedCloud
BoundlessOS
OpenHaven
EmancipatedApps
AutonoMesh
SovereignStack
UnlockedOrbit
DetachedCloud
UnfetteredOS
UnconstrainedCore
SelfPoweredHub
IndependentNexus

SkyUnbound
HorizonHub
NebulaSphere
StarLinkCore
NovaNode
CosmosCloud
GalaxyGate
OrionOS
PolarisNexus
AuroraCore
CometHost
SupernovaHub
GravityGrid
HyperDrive
WarpPlatform
ZeroPoint
SingularityStack
GenesisEngine
TerraNova
OdysseusOS

Or how about Nebulontron or Girishio ?

I can assure you, there was not a lot of market or brand research happening for Cloudron. I guess I never expected it to be in use for so long, actually. Somehow it stuck with us. As far as I remember, as a non-native speaker I quite liked the term cauldron back then. So together with "Cloud", some container where you blend apps together to your own liking.

@LoudLemur .io is controversial, specifically because the people of the Indian Ocean don't get the income.

I didn't know that. Thanks! I thought that some brilliant person had conceived the idea and that the Indian Ocean Islands government would receive a cut of the money from the use of their country domain. But you say that this is not happening? What a rip off that is! Also, those .io fees are quite hefty, and now it transpires that the islanders are not benefitting...

Thanks for letting us know!

That is super interesting to know. It's good to see how the name came to be.

If you ever started branding open source apps (like that French co does), -ron might work well:
Ackeeron
Bookstackron
Chatwootron
Cubbyron
Gogsron
Jellyron
Jitsiron
Minioron
Radicaleon
Surferron
Umamiron
Wordron

I'm kidding, thisissoron.

@scooke LOL
@LoudLemur it is highly recommended to verify if those suggested domain names are truly available, because it might not be the case. Unless, you've prompted your AI to verify their availability as well.

Here's some free market research and honest-initial-reaction feedback

LibreHost - is it French?
OpenSphere -
FreePort - Wasn't there Mac software called like, some kind of CLI? Oh yeah, macports. too much conflict
SelfStart - not really "self" since the Cloudron team made it, and the Forum here adds lots of help
OpenHarbor - sounds like a place criminals go to
IndependentCore - I don't need anyone else
FreedomHub - political?
OSSphere - last breath
UnchainedCloud - melody
BoundlessOS - not jumpy?
OpenHaven - another place for the criminals
EmancipatedApps - for minority folks
AutonoMesh - car-centric
SovereignStack - gonna steal my money somehow
UnlockedOrbit - wasn't there some weird gadget or something with Orbit in its name?
DetachedCloud - "I don't care-Cloud"
UnfetteredOS - so, you're calling me fettered?
UnconstrainedCore - where's the toilet please?
SelfPoweredHub - Gonna need a bicycle to power my internet
IndependentNexus - one-punch to the gut

SkyUnbound - great, now I have Sky all over me
HorizonHub - I can see it, but will I ever reach it?
NebulaSphere - its purple
StarLinkCore - Is Elon connected to this?
NovaNode -
CosmosCloud - that's a BIG cloud
GalaxyGate - Kurt Russel is the spokesperson
OrionOS - Onions
PolarisNexus - A cold stomach
AuroraCore - how I feel after eating spicy hot pot
CometHost - will this destroy the planet?
SupernovaHub - reminds of that productivity app from years ago that DID NOT MAKE ME PRODUCTIVE
GravityGrid - I just can't get anything off the ground
HyperDrive -
WarpPlatform - licence? licence? who needs a licence?
ZeroPoint - just give up. there's no point
SingularityStack - great, it just took over my brain
GenesisEngine - religious
TerraNova - sic-fi religious
OdysseusOS - going on along journey with many hazards

Off all of these, only OpenSphere and NovaNode did not evoke some immediate (not entirely positive) response. And truthfully, I wrote this in just a few minutes, pure initial-reaction style.

Funny. Thank you for this thread
