  • They will certainly buy the .com once they reach a certain level of stability.

  • .ai is the new .io but nothing will beat .com. Even Paul Graham has said that.

  • .com — in RFC 920, it originally meant 'commercial.' But come to think of it, a lot of recent startups seem to be selling things that aren't really commercial at all. So maybe they're actually heading in the right direction.

  • Is non .com/.org, and hyphens still haram? I registered a new domain last week; I went with non-hyphenated .com. More verbose than ideal, but I chose based on my previous understanding.

    I remember .ly was a thing for a while, then the tech companies would do *ly.com instead.

  • If you take .ai out of it, .com is still dominant.

  • "A recent YC startup spent 250k on a domain. I was slightly shocked. But when I asked how much they raised after YC, the answer was 6.5m. So 1/26 of their round. This is the time we live in; one shocking number counterbalances the other."

    Was that a .xyz?

  • Which gTLDs are reliable besides the classics (com, net, org,...)? By that I mean that the TLD owner won't screw you over a few years from now, for example by raising prices?

    I kind of like the idea to use .com for the marketing site, and .app for the actual web-app.

  • > YC startups are abandoning .com

    They are not "abandoning" .com domains. They are just really hard to find available or cheap enough to buy, so they launch with something else instead!

    .com will always be king
