It’s just not that hard to come up with a unique name that still has an available .com, I do it regularly for clients and have done for 20 odd years. Yes it’s gotten harder, but it’s still absolutely possible. Even short (sub-10 char) pronounceable names are still available if you just spend some time looking.

There’s NO reason to pay 5 figures for a .com unless you can drop that amount of money without even thinking about it, and doing so when you’re a bootstrapped startup is basically irresponsible.

But they already hand a brand, just not the .com. Do you really think if they just changed their name to remotove.com, it would have worked just as well?

Not that hard huh? If you don’t mind me asking what was the last one you came up with?

Zx884hs.com, so hot right now.

ReiTuned.com for an automotive tuner. GildFab.com for a family friends fabrication shop. Many more that I can’t share in public. I do about 1-2 per month for people, always .com’s or .net’s.
