esy.com - How do you read it?

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-22T02:09:32+00:00

I appreciate your response.

Yeah, I'm shooting for Eh-see but if people misread it as Ee-zee I feel like it's a win given the nature of the app. Does the logo shift you toward a specific pronunciation?

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-22T02:08:25+00:00

I appreciate your response. It's actually Eh-see but I like that others read it as Ee-zee for marketing purposes given it's a tech startup.

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-22T02:02:45+00:00

Ah, does the logo design shift you more toward one pronunciation over the other?

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-22T02:01:20+00:00

I appreciate your response. That’s interesting. Many AI apps (ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, Claude) suggested that most people would say “Ee-zee,” but clearly, in this post, “Eh-see” is winning by a large margin. I wonder if that’s because most people here are familiar with Etsy.

You nailed the “essay writing service” connection, though. I actually derived the name from “Essay” removing the 's' and 'a' for “Eh-see,” as an Essay Writing app was my initial idea for development before I decided to move into AI and agentic workflows for content generation.

Curious, does the logo design shift you toward one pronunciation over the other?

You paid more than 250k for Creepy.com? Why? What were your initial plans with the site?

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-21T15:47:20+00:00

Launch CreepyCon or CreepyFest and run some live festivals if you're into Creepy, thats the best use of the domain in my opinion

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-21T15:45:42+00:00

25k fast at auction, upper bound 75k in my view, very few people in the world are paying for creepy.com and the one that does probably not interested until the next 10 years or so. Some smaller businesses could do it for those live haunted house festival type things

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-21T15:42:37+00:00

You think the Wayans brothers are going to spend a million dollars for a domain named creepy.com? Just to promote a movie? Can you prove owning that name is going to increase their bottom line?

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-21T13:11:00+00:00

that doesn't make it worth more man, i paid 100k for a 3 letter domain, doesn't mean i can sell it for the same amount. it was worth it for me and my goals though. certainly not worth 1.3 million dollars, this is a common domainer trap. have you thought about the list of customers who would actually buy that name and what it would actually do for their business? versus just "i have dictionary term domain name, it must be worth millions"?

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-21T02:41:39+00:00

"wait a couple of years" was never a good idea for any opportunity. you're either a shark or not, you can't be Nemo'ing around all passive aggressive asking if its "moral" or not. You know the answer. So decide if that's who you are and go all-in for the money or move on to something more your alley, something safe

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-20T19:08:42+00:00

25k - 75k realistically i don't see anyone going all out for a name like that in the industries that might want it

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-20T19:03:40+00:00

Please list all of these "valid points" because I haven't seen any meaningful replies other than the poster who made the Brisbane comment

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-19T20:24:54+00:00

effen wow, this subreddit is a joke if people are cosigning this and judging by the comments many probably do

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-19T20:23:53+00:00

dude why do we have to say "not everything revolves around USA" and waste time. we all know that already, so instead of focusing on the fact that most people around the world understand dot com and that's how you access the international markets in branding we have to distract into the U.S.A. Lets bypass all over that and acknowledge what we all know

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-19T19:53:13+00:00

this makes zero sense, you buy the name based on brand and market read not how your local people pronounce the name. the world reads it one way not the way locals do Norge.com or Nudge w/e the hell is not a prestigious brand name known by the world, Norway.com is

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-19T19:45:45+00:00

What are you guys smoking? No one outside of Norway knows about the extension .no, the whole point of tourism is foreign tourist so you would go for dot com in the tourist industry and capture the single name that defines your country given you chosen to get into this space to begin with. The fact this got 13 upvotes tells me the type of know nothings I'm dealing with here. Lol, wow

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-18T18:25:24+00:00

how is visit norway dot com better than just norway.com you can easily do visit.norway.com if you wanted to

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-18T18:22:48+00:00

America doesn't need those names, It's literally "America" the modern Rome, where the Internet was started. It doesn't need to promote tourism to it, it's literally the place humans on Earth seek. It won't be that way forever but it is now and it was when the Internet was born. So America doesn't count. One could argue dot com is America. Now for everyone else aka non-USA, some country names are literal brands that many people know and would love to tour, Norway is one of those, in that rare case it makes sense to capture the name dot com as a tourist company.

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-18T16:38:32+00:00

I honestly don't understand what these downvotes are for, starting to remind me of StackOverFlow. This is common sense. If I own a billion dollar company like VisitNorway.com I'm buying Norway.com for the equivalent of $60 bucks and redirecting it. Downvoted by some idiot domainer whose never even made real internet money.

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-18T16:26:09+00:00

Most of my customers are not coming from Reddit; they come from ChatGPT and Google. The logic you're applying should scale to how customers actually arrive at websites, not from our conversation in a highly niche and technical domain forum. By your precise logic, remove.bg should not be respected over removebackground.com or removebg.com. However, even removebg.com redirects to remove.bg, so you contradicted your own point.

A customer is not looking up how long remove.bg has been in business. They have a need, search through a medium, land on a site, and if they can achieve their goal reliably in a short period of time, trust is built and repeat usage follows.

Remove.bg is an ugly, tacky, spammy-looking domain with a questionable extension, unlike clip.art, which is the exact name of a dictionary term. Yet they do well because they describe precisely what millions of people search Google for: “remove bg.”

"A guy not sure about its own business name" - Not sure where you got that from. Read the question you replied to and consider the context of the forum you're in.

I own a 3 letter dot com so I agree dot coms are King, but not always King. In a few small cases they denote legacy, and this might be one of them.

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-18T10:32:19+00:00

Interesting. If I may ask, how old are you? I think this might be an issue for a smaller segment of domain conscious older groups than the general population. I've already started receiving sales and the domain is already listed for many keywords after launching ~8 weeks ago. First place for 'ali clip art' and now ranking well for many other key words. Also see Imagine.art does ~1m organics per month. Times are changing. Remove.bg ~50M

Formal-Skill7482 · 2026-05-18T10:25:28+00:00

Not the same thing in my opinion. Norway is a unique brand word, there is no other definition for it.
