Someone already owns the .com domain, but it's inactive. I'm considering getting the .in version. Do you think it could cause any issues in the future for my startup?

If the .com domain is not being used, then there’s nothing stopping you from getting the .in and building your brand. A strong brand presence will matter more in the long run. Many successful Indian startups (like Zerodha.in and Razorpay.in) started with a country-specific domain and made it work.

if your focus in India, .in is good enough. if it's an app or AI tool or something specific you can check .app or .ai or relevant TLDs.

Yes. But the best thing you can do is go and look is the trademark is registered. If it isn't then let them have the .com and you go and own the trademark. Once you have the trademark, you can sue them for impersonating your company

If your startup grows and the .com owner notices, they might hike up the price or refuse to sell. If you can afford it, try negotiating and securing the .com now. Otherwise, you risk competitors or cybersquatters grabbing it later, and you might have to pay a hefty price to get it.

Ever happened that we found a cool name for our SaaS, but the .com domain name is taken or they are very expensive to buy or something like that? These domain pre- and suffixes are helpful when need to find the perfect web address for our saas. [

All the .com domains seem to be taken. It’s so hard to find a good name and then you can only hope for the domain being available 🥲

Can’t believe ChatGPT bought chat dot com for 20 million dollars. That’s some crazy amount of money for a domain. Also, this is like the series C and stuff for Indian startup’s. That sudden urge to start domain flipping so bad 😂😂

Someone bought the JioHotstar domain (before the merger) and wants Reliance to fund their higher studies in exchange for buying the domain. Talk about being smart and opportunistic!
