FAQ
What makes a good startup domain name?
Great startup domains are short (under 10 characters), easy to spell and pronounce, brandable, and available across social platforms. Think Stripe, Notion, Figma — they're simple, unique, and instantly memorable.
Should startups use .com or alternative TLDs?
While .com is still king for credibility, many successful startups use .io (GitHub), .co (Angel.co), or .ai (Character.ai). Choose the TLD that best fits your brand identity and industry.
