Just a tip: always have your domain start with the brand name. “Get___” “try___” “by___” etc are terrible because when a user is searching to quickly go to your domain, they’ll type your brand name first (as that’s what will come to mind).

In this case “r”, but your site won’t be listed as a quick suggestion cause the domain starts with “g”.

I’d suggest “reployapp” or “reployenv” or something where brand followed by a word/descriptor.

Seems you're using Chrome, which autocomplete in the URL bar really sucks (probably on purpose)

Try Firefox and have fulltext search available for you, will make your life a lot easier. Firefox also don't have any incentives to send you to a search result page and much rather find you the correct website directly.

Majority of people use Chrome. So it’s a very valid tip regardless of what browser I use.

Appreciate the tip! We actually have a domain with reploy__.com, but aren't using it. We'll set that up!
