From an SEO standpoint changing your domain is always a headache. Even with tools from Google/Bing to facilitate the transfer your listings can go offline for a while before they re-index and hopefully pass your PageRank along.

If SEO is not a concern and you're strictly talking about your brand, I think you have more flexibility as many people will simply be unaware of your service until your achieve a certain level of visibility.

rentacoder has changed it's name to vworker, yet still keeping rentacoder name and domain and related links pointing to vworker. Of course i'll not be updating the name every two weeks, but may be in time it might be a necessity to rename the service.

Also i'm seeing this solution for "how to not postpone the project for not finding an awesomely awesome domain name" problem. So seo is not a main concern for now, before going public :)

thanks
