Show HN: Shorter – search for shorter versions of your domain

• GabrielMMMM 11mo ago
  What if, instead of shorter versions, the tool focused on SEO optimization, for example, you enter a business name or idea, and it generates a highly SEO optimized domain name suggestion?
  • echoangle 11mo ago
    Does the actual domain itself affect search engine placement? Are shorter domains better, or what makes a domain good for SEO?
• mkoryak 11mo ago
  Nothing shorter than dogself.com ?!
• merelysounds 11mo ago
  IMHO it’s better to just use .com . By now .com is so popular that anything different is harder to memorize or even seen as untrustworthy (both by users and sometimes by platforms too).

    agree for sure, i just think it's sometimes cool to have different tlds for like small projects and mby links

  Not goood, says buy to domains that obviously aren't available. Perhaps in the rush to send people to the affiliate site.
