I do not know Nick Huber, but I see he has a large following on Twitter and frequently offers advice to startup founders and entrepreneurs. Over the weekend, Nick shared some advice about domain names:
If you’re looking for an available domain to start a business, you’re doing it wrong.
You need to buy a premium domain and drop a little coin.
People build big companies behind pretty crappy web domains and it holds them back in a major way.
If you’re confident go buy a $2-10k…

While the “premium” term is highly subjective for domain names, particularly given the numbers he shares, I think he is offering good advice. Either start with a good domain name or upgrade when the business has enough profits to enable the acquisition.
