Generally speaking, having an inc as part of the domain name does not have official legal significance. However, operating through an entity is important to limit one's personal liability regardless of how many shareholders (partners) there are. You should consider forming a new company with you as the sole shareholder.

"Inc." means you have a corporation. A "sole proprietorship" is not a corporation, so you cannot use Inc. with that entity. Why do you not simply keep the corporation? More importantly than having the "Inc" at the end of the corporate name, you will have protection for the name in the state and you will be insulated from individual liability if you remain incorporated. I would think twice before operating without a corporation.
