Deep dives
The Role of Domain Names in Business Success
Domain names are vital assets for businesses, impacting branding and trust. Entrepreneurs often focus heavily on acquiring the right domain, as it can enhance credibility and recognition. However, some successful companies, such as Rho, have demonstrated that having a premium .com domain is not strictly necessary for success; alternative domains can also work well if leveraged properly. This perspective encourages entrepreneurs to prioritize product-market fit and business fundamentals over just the domain name.
