Hey Travis!
Thanks for dropping by and for the nice comment! I really appreciate it =)
Getting a proper domain name can be tricky but often I find it easier to not give it too much thought and follow your instinct! It is good though to know the “rules” and the things to avoid… but again choosing a domain name is like choosing a company name or a brand name, so the first criteria should be that you are happy with it! And believe in it!
Cheers =)
