A bit off-topic, but I'd like to know what HN thinks about a short domain I've chosen for an upcoming product.
I'm building a platform which lets people create and host simple apps. It's kind of a collaborative app development thing, so you build on what's already there and let others use what you've made. The project is called "Fora", and I bought the domain www.4ah.org. I like the brevity, but does it look like a silly hack?
Thanks in advance.
ADD: Thanks slayed0, ptaipale, urda, rl3 and staticfish. I think I should look for a new domain name. @mtmail thanks for thisisfora.com.
- staticfish 12y agoJust my opinion: I think it reads awkwardly.
- ptaipale 12y agoI don't think it's bad, but there's just a hint of being too close to http://4-h.org http://4-h.org .
- mtmail 12y agowww.thisisfora.com might be more straight forward than using a cryptic .org domain.
- TomorrowRich 12y agoAgree 100%. Yeah my comment was brief and pointless, but really, the above suggested .com is so obviously better.
- slayed0 12y agoIt's hard to identify the product name in the url which leads to a lack of trust. Just my opinion.
- urda 12y agoYeah I didn't see it right away at all.
- rl3 12y agoHonestly, yes it does.
- ryan-c 12y agoAre you aware of fora.tv?
- jeswin 12y agoNo I had not. Thanks for the link, checking.
