Yesterday I managed to buy a 6-letter .com domain for standard price.

If you've tried registering a domain anytime recently, you know how rare this is. Usually every decent idea is either parked for thousands or forces you into compromises. Finding a clean, 6-letter .com sitting right there felt like winning a tiny lottery. 😅
It got me thinking about how much energy goes into naming in the early stages.
Question for the founders and creators here: How do you usually go about finding domains or experimenting with names?
Do you use AI tools, churn through registry searches, look for expired domains, or just stick to standard TLDs like .com or .ai no matter what?

I’ve been deep in this rabbit hole this week 😅
For me the name comes first, but if the .com forces too many compromises, I’d rather keep searching than build around a weak domain. AI is great for exploring directions, but the real work is still checking hundreds of available names until one actually feels like a brand.
A clean .com at standard price definitely feels like a small win these days.
@bencohen The same for me. the name is first impression.
Thank you for sharing your opinion.
