I've been there. Nearly purchased a domain for thousands because I really liked the name.

Probably the best advice I can give is don't make any impulse decisions if you find something even just a little outside of your price range (unless, of course, you are determined to use such a name, and you consider yourself staying determined through the thick and thin).

I wrote down a list of domain names that I wanted, whether they were available or not, and what their price points were if they could be auctioned.

And decided to not buy any of them immediately.

What you may consider is starting w/ an umbrella name which would theoretically, encompass your SAAS and more, and either making a subdomain off of that, or using it as the "powered by" (or whatever) for your SAAS when you do find a proper name.

thanks for the answer! Yes exactly. Aside to whether the name is good or not, I think it doesn't make sense to spend a lot of money on a domain, especially since I'm still in the process of validating the idea. That is why I was thinking to get a "temporary" domain that is good enough, then eventually if my idea takes off and I get funding, then I can decide to purchase a proper one.
