FAQ
How do I come up with a good personal brand name or username?
Start with your real name; if yourname.com is taken, try a memorable variation (add your craft or initials, or a short coined twist) rather than a long string of dots and numbers. Say it aloud and have a friend spell it back: if they stumble, it will cost you every time someone tries to find or recommend you.
Should my personal site name match my social handles?
Yes, one consistent handle across your site, Instagram, X, GitHub, and YouTube makes you far easier to find and tag. Before you commit to a domain, check that the same handle is open on the platforms you actually use, since a great domain helps little if the matching handle is taken everywhere else.
Is a .com necessary for a personal site, or is .me or .co fine?
A .com is the most recognized and easiest to recall, so we rank it first, but it is not required. For a personal brand .me reads naturally (yourname.me) and .co is a clean fallback; just note some short or premium domains renew at a higher yearly price than a standard .com, so check the renewal first.
