DNW Podcast #601: .Ai end user domain stories

These two entrepreneurs moved their websites to .AI domains.

.AI is hot, but what do business owners think regarding them? On this show, I speak with two business owners who switched their businesses to .ai domains. One started with a .so and quickly realized the extension’s limitations. The other started on a .com domain that ended up pigeonholing this business.

First, I chat with Felix Ingla of Pedra. He launched his business on a .so domain and immediately ran into problems. He knew he needed to choose a different domain, and considered getPedra .com, which he could have hand registered. But ‘get’ works best as a prefix for English speakers, and his primary clients are in Spain and Germany. He ended up getting Pedra.ai.

Next, I speak with Angeli Angelos of Swipe. When his firm first launched its product, it went with the name Post Protect, and that ended up limiting its ambitions. So he looked for a broader name and landed on Swipe. He discusses buying the domain swipe.ai, and how lease-to-own made it possible.
