When do you buy the domain?

The same as you ,indeed many ideas seem it's wonderful.It tells me that is a mistake when making those out . Maybe we should cool down~ and think about it times .

I would recommend wait. I have bought domains thinking they were awesome only to realize a couple of weeks later that the domain actually sucked. As your idea matures also the naming will do, no rush to buy anything when you are just excited about the next "big" idea you had.

always have a stash of names in had as you work on your idea, if it a great idea and you can't shake it off go check which one is available and claim it

First decide if you intend to pursue the online business idea. Before purchasing the domain name it makes sense to examine the domain names of rivals and industry leaders. Then take note of any keywords they use as well as their domain extension.

I buy it well before I start coding 🙂

Have the solid idea first before buying.

If it's relatively inexpensive, I just buy the domain. Helps motivate me get the project started even if it doesn't workout in the end.

Buy first, set to auto-renew after (and if) the project is done 😁

Out of curiosity, how many domains do you all own?

Tricky! I'd say after the product has started to take shape, I went through 3 domains before settling on one.
