I had the perfect domain name - but it was a .net. We even had the perfect logo for it. But everyone in the biz told me I needed a .com, even my mom. So I spent a few hours with a thesaurus and came up with a shortlist, and of the ones available, the best was offered by BuyDomains.com for $2,500. I mentioned it to my investors and my parents and they said BUY IT NOW. My team was less enthusiastic about the name, but they understood why it was good: - .com - 5 letters, 2 syllables - easy to pronounce and spell - the name made sense for our business, it wasn't nonsense

I went for it and I'm really glad I did. Would I do it for $3K? Not sure. $4K? I don't want to think about it.
