Ask HN: Should I use my .co domain or my *app.com domain?
Hey HN
I have a SaaS web application on highscoreapp.com which I'm working on - That's fine but after .co domains became available I decided to go after highscore.co.
Which do you guys think is the better one to use? .co is shorter and more precise but .com domains are usually easier to remember.
What are your thoughts?
- pietrofmaggi 16y agoI would go with the .com one. As a second choice you can look into .re, highsco it's still there: http://www.101domain.com/register_domain_name_re.htm http://www.101domain.com/register_domain_name_re.htm BTW: your landing page is intriguing (making work less boring) but not much informative.
- arnorhs 16y agoThanks, that's a good point.
- duck 16y agoFor an app I think using highscoreapp.com is fine, but for a true "brand" it might make more sense to use .co. .com domains are usually easier to remember - with Google (or your fav search engine) you pretty much don't have to remember anything.
- arnorhs 16y agoYes, there's also the fact that it's easier for your regular users to type highscore.co than highscoreapp.com - it's also easier to scan an see what it says highscoreapp almost looks like an anagram when you glance at it.
