Ask HN: Does domain name affect success? English is not my native language, and suffered from this issue when picking domain names in the past. One was almost meaning "a gay hookup central" instead of poker fans community site... Anyway. Finding a domain name for my latest "next big things" is the hardest part of the projects. Looking at monster.com, omegle.com, amazon.com i.e. names are not related to the content. So i wonder if i chose some bogus or completely irrelevant name for my -say- joblisting site, would it affect the success in any way? Of course the shorter/the sweeter/the nicer/the easier the better, but they don't exist out in the wild anymore :) thanks |
