   Is putting a dash in your URL a bad idea?

     @darth Historically, some people perceive domains with dashes as less credible or as being lower quality, possibly because spammers often use such URLs.

     There are advantages too, this is just what sticks out to me. https://wiserbrand.com/hyphens-dashes-in-domain-names/

     @darth If you're not happy with the domain name, consider that $25 investment a learning lesson and move on with a better idea!

     @killyourfm I am impatient. I have been impatient when I spent $25 on that domain yesterday and now I am impatient to get the bloody site up an running.

     @killyourfm yeah, it's certainly not the end of the world. I rushed it because I wanted to start...
