✨ My rule for memorable domain names: your domain name can only have 2 parts that need to be remembered. So either:

1️⃣ Dictionary word + Non-standard TLD
2️⃣ Dictionary word + prefix/suffix + .COM

✅ submit.co
✅ submitly.com
❌ submitly.co

This is not a hard rule of course, but if you're considering different options I'd lean towards fewer parts.

If you play around with different combinations, you can often find an affordable domain fitting this rule.

I'm not a linguist, but I _think_ the way we memorize these types of domains is by memorizing the _concept_ of the dictionary word and the _letters_ or _vocalization_ of the prefix/suffix/TLD.

Memorizing two vocalizations (i.e. non-dictionary words) is a lot harder.

🛫 Common prefixes:

get-
use-
hello-
hi-
meet-
ask-
my-

🛬 Common suffixes:

-app
-ly
-list

I tend to prefer dictionary-word + non-standard TLD for tech-savvy audiences or 'fun' apps. Some examples:

👉 tweet.photo
👉 wip.chat
👉 highscore.money
👉 expensive.chat
👉 startup.jobs
