Names & Domains For Startups
Today I’m branding a subscription fudge company around the domain Fudgely.com. Are you marketing fudge? Know someone who is? Priced with a very reasonable Buy Now at Fudgely.com.
Indulge your sweet tooth with Fudgely, the ultimate monthly fudge subscription box! Each month, we craft a delectable surprise selection of premium fudge flavors, made from the finest ingredients and delivered straight to your door.
You might will have a naming idea for your startup and find the exact-match domain is gone, or if it’s available, it’s going to run you 5 figures and up. If you’re really into the name you might turn to adding a prefix to the domain… i.e. you continue to call the company ‘x’, but your domain is ‘getx.com’. Other popular prefixes are words like, my, the, web, go, super, best etc. But you’ll find that if your keyword is a popular one, you’ll often find that those, prefix added, domains are also quite expensive.
Today I’m branding a woman’s fashion/beauty startup idea with a domain of mine, GetGirly.com. What I especially like about this one is that the ‘get’ part of the name… implying action towards, works very well with ‘Girly’. You wouldn’t have to brand as ‘Girly’, and the ‘get’ part is just a way to have a cheaper url, the brand itself can be ‘Get Girly’ and hold its own.
Buy It Now priced at GetGirly.com with a payment plan available.
Today I’m branding an imaginary brassiere company that specializes in custom-fitted bras. I was surprised to hear a number of women discussing breast reduction surgery because they couldn’t find a bra that actually fit!
From the NYT Daily podcast…
The Appeal of the Smaller Breast
Why are increasing numbers of younger women undergoing the cosmetic reduction surgery?
But if I were entering the market with my new AI-assisted sizing and fitting app for full-busted women, what could I call it, and get an exact-match domain for, that wouldn’t break the bank! That’s right, Buzom! A 5 letter domain makes it easy to say and spell in one sentence… Buzom b-u-z-o-m dot com. Buy It Now priced at Buzom.com.
Again, riffing on product domains for pet-related treats. But what I’m hoping to communicate is that I may have a perfect ready-made name/domain for your product, company, or idea. Try me! John@DomainNoob.com
But here’s how ChatGPT suggests we get you started with your new dog treats, ‘Fittles’. Buy Now priced at Fittles.com.
“Introducing Fittles – the treat your dog will wag for! Packed with wholesome, natural ingredients, Fittles are as healthy as they are delicious. Whether it’s a reward for good behavior or a just-because snack, Fittles are the guilt-free way to show your furry friend some love.

Clever branding is a shortcut to product awareness and market fit.
ARightToChews.com and RightToChews.com practically build their own marketing campaign. Imagine dogs protesting for their “right to chews,” rallying for their favorite treats. The visuals? Dog owners caving in to the demands for premium chews, creating an irresistible story that consumers can’t ignore.
With the dog treat market booming, niche categories like natural, organic, gourmet, and boutique treats are primed for growth. Start small, target local markets, and scale as you hone your product-market fit. Whether you’re launching a brand or building a dog treat empire, ARightToChews.com gives you a powerful, memorable foundation.
Both domains are priced as a pair – an opportunity to own a brand-ready platform. ARightToChews.com
The idea here is a device or app for measuring your power consumption. A post that blew up on Hacker News recently called “Analyzing my electricity consumption” reminded me that this is still a problem to solve. The article discusses acquiring and parsing the data into useful bits of information that help you make choices that can save you money.
There are countless applications related to measuring power and here’s a great name for one. Powerometer.com.
For more information or to make an offer please email me. More great names here!
(Where a Twitter handle is mentioned, I’m happy to transfer it to you for free at the conclusion of a domain sale.)

I look at a lot of names, usually around ideas of my own, but often around a trend that’s breaking. Here’s a couple of names I found irresistible today. ‘Collaborative consumption’ is a buzz word around the phenomenon of sharing things rather than owning them outright. It’s estimated, for example, that the average electric drill will see a total of 12 minutes use in its lifetime. “What you really need is the hole, not the drill.” (Rachel Botsman, Collaborative Consumption at TED) People are starting to figure out how to share locally. Cars, for instance, sitting in garages while you’re at work, or in the driveway when you’re home for the weekend have become a target for peer to peer sharing. It’s kind of obvious the minute you think of it. There seems to be quite a lot of activity in the startup community around sharing cars. I was surprised to find that my first choice for a name, P2PCar.com, was available. I hope that, as new companies come into the space, one will be happy to find that a great name is available for a reasonable price.
As for MowFo? I saw that it dropped recently. I put it in my interesting list. And then I tried to forget about it. But I couldn’t. I just kept picturing a gardening truck driving by me with MowFo.com on the side. Or wouldn’t it be a great name for a grass cutting Roomba?

Long story short: I personally would develop the variants and have one site be the “money site” and the other sites be doorway or reference sites that link to the money site. 301 redirect makes sense if there is existing traffic but odds are not much so you are better off creating something that is capable of being indexed and ranked.
I’ve been asking this whenever I’m around people who might know:
Where you own both… The plural so often makes a better sounding storefront, but the singular keyword often scores 10x or more exact match searches per month. Pointing the singular to the plural with a 301 redirect seems to be the general advice. But that would only generate what little type-in traffic the singular domain got.
In my own experiments I’ve been able to score top 10 in Google for exact match plural keyword search, but disappear off the search results for (much more competition) singular (using 301 redirect approach). Wondering if building out the singular keyword domain could make a difference. But also, don’t want to risk duplicate content penalties.
Probably the best answer I’ve received so far comes from a well known domain developer (whose name I won’t mention because it was in an email and I haven’t asked his permission to quote him) . Would still hope to get a definitive answer with some examples and stats at some point.
