Question for the room: Can a domain name do the conversion work before the product even shows up? I recently acquired chat.now — and it’s made me rethink how we value digital real estate. It’s not a brand. It’s not clever. It’s just what the user already wants to do. Whether it’s live support, AI, dating, adult, or therapy — “chat now” is the action. The domain just completes the loop. Yes, .com will always be king — and domains like chat.com have gone for ~$15.5M. But I’m wondering… when the domain matches intent + timing this precisely, can it compete? So I’m asking: Can clarity + behavior ever outweigh extension? Have you seen domains that convert because they’re exactly what the user wants? And genuinely — how would you value a domain like chat.now? Would love to hear what this group thinks — especially folks who live at the intersection of product, growth, naming, and behavior.

how does one can think of figuring out what domains to buy, I know this seems a trivial question, but how can one justify buying domains which are never going to be sold in future

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 🥲

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!

I predict OpenAI will launch “Sign in with OpenAI” and become one of the most defensible businesses ever. Your entire digital life (preferences, history, behavior) will live in the ChatGPT memory layer, and third parties will pay heavily for scoped
