I couldn't agree with you more. There was a comment posted on the blog about why they didn't go with charge.37signals.com instead. I would think this would be better since it contains the real domain. I too am curious why they didn't use the subdomain route.
- anthonyrubin 18y agoI think the problem with a domain like charge.37signals.com is that many users don't understand how to type it in the address box (e.g. some will add www before it). If you've watched users try to enter URLs with subdomains in the address box you've likely experienced this.
- amobilebiz 18y agoGood point, I didn't even think of that and it is true. One option would be to add a CNAME entry for the www portion on the subdomain. That way if someone did it would route correctly.
- jskopek 18y agoThey could also purchase the full domain name (charge37signals.com) and have it redirect to charge.37signals.com; that way they account for all possible permutations.
