Ask HN: Downsides of unusual domain? 2 points by alva 8y ago ↗ HN I have a small SaaS idea and one of the more unusual domains is relevant to the product name. In what way might using a rare domain penalise the site in search engines etc?
[–] saluki 8y ago ↗ It won't affect you in the SERP. If anything unique will be good for getting you to the top for relevant searches.As long as it fits your product, is pronounceable and someone can type it in correctly when you say it, go for it.
[–] tiredwired 8y ago ↗ If it is a typo for a more popular search term then it might get corrected every time someone types it in.
