Heya! I‘m building a product like Buffers Pablo named „placid“ - (placidapp.com - maybe I‘ll buy placid.app) I thought of the meaning (calm, easy) and it sounds a bit like place it ;) - im really in love with that name then I found http://placeit.net - which does similar things (although im not filling high res stock images with screenshots) ... placid place it too close? what do you think? somehow I think its close, otherwise is placid its own word

Don't think it's too close. Different word and different kind of product.

I'm trying to buy https://akshaykadam.me on NameCheap but its declining my Card & PayPal gives error too. Idk what to use to buy it. Trying to buy since the past 10 days. I thought it was my card problem but it works fine 😂 I should mention I use Visa card ✌️

I'm using MasterCard, Visa Electron and PayPal with NameCheap without any problems. They have a good support, just contact them!

When I first started building https://wip.chat/products/908 the vision was for charities to engage with a younger audience - one of the methods of doing this was to allow supporters to donate through a chatbot named "Ella" (givewithella.com) While the bot will still be a feature, it's no longer the core vision. Instead, I'm building a platform to encourage charities to be more transparent and engage with supporters through regular updates. Supporters will soon be able to provide feedback on how much they trust and like a charity - putting everything out in the open. I have the domain opengood.co which I now feel is far more appropriate than givewithella.com. Should I consider switching?

I like the current name, for some reason it creates more empathy on me than OpenGood. But imo in the end the name doesn't really matter. Ella is shorter and clean, so I would keep it.

I was reading some articles about domain flipping business and I get the basic idea but before I do my first purchase, I would like to get opinions on some questions. - Which registrar to use for domain purchasing (I use GoDaddy, is that bad?) - Generally speaking, what are the chances that you will hit a deal? I found a domain that could be really cool for an established brand but I am not sure if they would be interested in buying it.

I wouldn't use GoDaddy. Literally anything else is better. Their UI is so confusing and I'm just not a fan. I'm a big fan of Google Domains, but Namecheap and a few others look promising, too. I really like [DomainHolder](https://www.domainholder.io/) too. It makes a for sale page for your domain. Literally all you have to do is make an A record to their domain and TXT record with your email where potentials buyers can contact you. Much of the domain flipping business just involves patience. Chances are if you buy a domain and then immediately reach out to the brand you are talking about, they won't be interested because you just bought it, and they probably would have bought it before you but they didn't because they weren't interested. Having a domain in your portfolio for 5-10+ years increases the chances of it being inquired about because the number of decent domain names is drastically decreasing. It took me a few hours to find a domain name for a side project I'm working on, they aren't many good ones left :)

(.rocks, .live...) It's 2018 and it seems like everyone is still going for the .com domain no matter what

It fights domain squatting. Can't afford your domain? Get it on a different TLD. Fundamentally it's a sign that consumers are becoming comfortable with weird tlds. Mostly becuase they just click the link and don't really care what the domain is.
