How to choose a startup domain name
The best startup names are short enough to say on a pitch call without spelling them and specific enough that the first search result is you. Two-word compounds, the whole list above, are the reliable route to an open .com; single dictionary words are nearly always registered or sold as premium names. Do not pick a name that locks you into today's product: early startups pivot, and a name that is just the product category becomes a liability. .co and .io read as startup addresses to investors but less so to customers, so plan to own the .com eventually if you start on one of them. Before you commit, search the name with "startup" and "app" to make sure no funded company already owns the space, check the trademark register, and claim the matching X, LinkedIn and GitHub handles the same day you register.
