Ask HN: Should I invest in this domain?
I want to buy to know if a good domain is worth it? I found domains like derik.ai, derek.ai. I sent in an offer for $2k to the first one. Is it worth it?
If you host a business on the domain that makes a lot of money, sure, go ahead and get the domain. But if you are currently thinking about creating a start-up without concrete plans how to turn a tidy profit? Then no, you have bigger challenges than which domain to use.
My suggestion: get a dirt cheap domain with 8 to 12 random letters, build the site, and once you have a couple of (paying!) customers, then worry about the domain and move to a nicer one.
