Ask HN: Downsides of unusual domain?

2 pointsby alvaabout 7 years ago
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?

It won&#x27;t affect you in the SERP. If anything unique will be good for getting you to the top for relevant searches.<p>As long as it fits your product, is pronounceable and someone can type it in correctly when you say it, go for it.

If it is a typo for a more popular search term then it might get corrected every time someone types it in.
