Ask HN: How do you find a good domain name these days?

Posted by BishoyDemian on Thursday March 17, 2016 @12:35AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm starting a consulting business .. trying to establish a business name and a web presence, I met a huge struggle during the past 2 weeks trying to come up with a domain name that is (remotely) relevant, available, and short. That, alone, is not the major issue really! but those who buy domain names and park only to trade them and turn a few bucks of profit as a business model!

Complaining about people who own domains is like complaining about paying for land. Pick the names you like, make a serious offer, and someone will accept. A good domain name is something you pay for like a good office or a good designer.

Don't worry too much about metastatic optimization / pencil pushing :) Just stick a semi-memorable prefix (e.g. "get", "try") in front of the name you like
