D) ... No I wouldn't be so glib. Didn't Dropbox start at getdropbox.com and only buy dropbox.com a year or two ago? Worked for them.

  GetMint.com and TheFacebook.com, both made deals to buy out the domain iirc.

    I believe it was mymint.com

    Facebook also had to pay $100,000 to buy the .com. That's not really a possibility for most of us.

  And if they won't sell them at a reasonable price, you're stuck with an ugly domain name.

    Not necessarily. I don't think SquareUp.com is horrific or anything if they never end up acquiring Square.com. It's not ideal but it doesn't have to be horrific either.

    If the ideal name is four letters with no vowels then I'm not sure a few extra letters are that much worse Even if the entire focus of my app was brevity I'd be very happy with tldrapp.com, tldrhub.com or sorrytldr.com (all available) as names :)
