Ask HN: Worth spending $6000 on this domain?

It seems easy to worry entirely too much about a name or logo. I think a great product makes its name and great name can't save a bad product.

I think your current domain is fine, better even.

Say I'm a small business owner who used your service and I want to recommend it to a peer, I'd wager that my reccommendation is going to stick better as "Promostudio.com" than "V-I-D-D-I-O. No, it's like video, except it has two Ds and I in place of E. No, V-I-D-D-I-O."

I tried to find some more domains, but I was surprised how saturated the domain space is with anything to do with "video". Best I've found is:

pitchproduction.com

hypespotlight.com

(more here: http://wedomainsearch.com/#/dYVtJ0zS)

Though promostudio.com is probably better.

I've bought/sold a number of domains and have a pretty good idea for pricing. I wouldn't pay $100 for viddio.com

Promostudio is excellent (assuming it's not trademarked already). Very professional and easy to spell. Worry about your product, your domain is plenty good.

The exception might be if you have social curating, in which case a play on Digg might work out - vidd.io would be a good domain for that :)

Personally I would look for a word that is related to video, but is not a direct step from misspelling it.

I'd expect Viddio.com to be a $100-250 domain, not thousands.

PromoStudio also looks/sounds more professional to me, is easier to say to people via word-of-mouth without having to spell it and hope they remember the spelling, etc.
