Domain Names Suck
26 October 2009Domain Names Suck because they really limit the number of potential startups. Further “.com” *really* sucks because it seems you must be forced into the .com namespace to be successful. The internet needs a better naming system.
Problems
Long names are far less marketable than short names
TLDs are controlled by governments and not available to everybody’
Squatters sit on the best domain names
The name of your web app is sometimes more vital to its success than how good the app is.
