What’s wrong with that domain name? I personally view it as OK and even a bit memorable

  The problem is that the company is named Hydraulic, but it only has one product, so it's confused branding. I think a lot of startups make this mistake so I don't beat myself up about it too much. The product has a different name to the company, but it's the product name people know, and so then they have to realign the branding around that - something I've never done. For better or worse there are enough users and customers (it's free for open source devs), that fixing problems and addressing feature requests/support tickets tends to suck up the available time. I still live in hope that one day I will drain the high priority queue enough to be able to reorganize the docs and redo the web presence.

    Basecamp the company changed their names after their main product, Basecamp, became successful. They only changed it back when they had more than one successful product. I wouldn't worry about your company name to be honest.

    I like it too. Memorable is good! Why not just put Hydraulic in front of the name of each other product? Hydraulic Deploy. Hydraulic Build. Etc. Seems scalable.
