<div dir="ltr">DEFINITELY grab the domain, especially if you can get the appropriate suffix (e.g., .com, .org)! There are a lot of unscrupulous people who will catch wind of a new venture and snatch domain names to either sell back to the person with the idea for lots of bucks or to set up a rogue ecommerce site that appears to the casual visitor to be genuine. If you end up changing the company/product name or not using the domain for some other reason, you've invested $15 in inexpensive insurance against someone trying to masquerade as your company.<div><br></div><div>PS: One of the services I offer is help figuring out a good company and/or product name.<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:small"></div><div><br></div><div>Shel Horowitz - "The Transformpreneur"</div><div>________________________________________________</div><div>Contact me to bake in profitability while addressing hunger, </div><div>poverty, war, and catastrophic climate change</div><div>* First business ever to be Green America Gold Certified</div><div>* Inducted into the National Environmental Hall of Fame</div><div>* Certified speaker: International Platform Association</div><div><a href="https://goingbeyondsustainability.com" target="_blank">https://goingbeyondsustainability.com</a> </div><div>mailto:<a href="mailto:shel@greenandprofitable.com" target="_blank">shel@greenandprofitable.com</a> 413-586-2388</div><div>Award-winning, best-selling author of 10 books. </div><div>Latest: Guerrilla Marketing to Heal the World </div><div>(co-authored with Jay Conrad Levinson)</div><div><br></div><div>Watch my TEDx Talk,</div><div>"Impossible is a Dare: Business for a Better World"</div><div><a href="http://www.ted.com/tedx/events/11809" target="_blank">http://www.ted.com/tedx/events/11809</a> </div><div>(move your mouse to "event videos")</div><div>_________________________________________________</div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jan 18, 2023 at 3:23 PM Christine Dutton via Hidden-discuss <<a href="mailto:hidden-discuss@lists.hidden-tech.net">hidden-discuss@lists.hidden-tech.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hello Hidden Tech Listserv Members, <div><br></div><div>I may be interested in launching a website and the domain name is available. Would you please advise on the best site to access for purchasing the domain name? Or, perhaps it isn't necessary to purchase the name and it can be launched without purchasing. As you can see, I only know a tad about domain name purchasing. I would appreciate recommendations and/or pointing me to a good article on this topic. </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you!</div><div><br></div><div>Christine </div></div>
