Ask HN: How do you "hack" your domains?
I believe picking the right name for your company or product is pretty difficult, but it gets tougher picking one that also has the domain available.
What do you usually do? Add "Use", "Get", "The" before the name or use different ccTLDs?
- ljoshua 13y agoI like the tools that do a lot of the work for me: http://www.leandomainsearch.com http://www.leandomainsearch.com http://www.panabee.com http://www.panabee.com http://domai.nr http://domai.nr http://www.namemesh.com http://www.namemesh.com I love using those to get my brain going, and then using that to launch into more creative and unique domains.

- gesman 13y agoI usually combine two words together (with one word need to be short) to come up with catchy, brandish, easy to remember, unique available domain name. Examples of my recent picks: hostrum.com (for hosting services) autositer.com (for script to auto-generate websites) bitcoinway.com (for open source bitcoin payment solution) listgun.com (for autoresponder services) presentlove.com (personal development blog)
