What is this 'railway'?
I am assuming that a domain like railway.com should be about trains.
Why does every tech company have to name themselves as a one word .com website and what they do is unrelated and vague to their own name?
Does every tech company think they are Apple and have to register every word in the dictionary and redefine it as a technology company?
Really bad name for a company.

- vimda 9mo agoYou don't think "railway" at least conjures ideas about the company? It's not some random word. Not every company needs to be "helps you ship software quickly inc"

- Liftyee 9mo agoPossible empirical justification: Non-tech and more "typical" orgs (train companies...) don't spend lots of money on slick-sounding one-word .com domains.

- caseyohara 9mo agoShell was originally very literal though. They sold seashells. > The "Shell" Transport and Trading Company (the quotation marks were part of the legal name) was a British company, founded in 1897 by Marcus Samuel, 1st Viscount Bearsted, and his brother Samuel Samuel. Their father had owned an antique company in Houndsditch, London, which expanded in 1833 to import and sell seashells, after which the company "Shell" took its name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_plc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_plc
