rk0567 commented on Ask HN: How do you get good domain names?    · Posted by u/rukshn

The highest we've paid for a .com domain name is $1.5K. We also ended up buying the same .co domain.

In another case, we opted for the .co, since the .com owner wanted $16K. Using a .co is a good alternative, since Google treats it as a generic ccTLD [1].

I am curious, what do people here think about .co domains?

I'm using .co domain for couple of my side projects [0] and they rank well. So, from SEO point of vew, it's as good as .com.

> "TDS Deducted from Salary"

It would be helpful to explain initialisms like TDS for those who don't know.

rk0567 · 10 years ago
yeah, I should add that. I thought it was too common for target users. Thanks.

Nice. However I must ask, the official tax department's site has been revamped and added a very slick calculator [1] a few months or maybe a year ago. Is there a good reason to prefer yours ?

However, if you are an expert in tax rules, here's something I'd pay money for - clear tax guidance in the form of a decision engine, where I can feed my inputs and get an accurate interpretation of the tax rules. I will pay for this as long as you can back the interpretation by a certified tax consultant.

Maybe not, yet. But over a period of gradual improvement, it may offer something unique to certain niche. e.g beginner users, who would prefer a tax calculation tool with a clear and easy to understand step by step guide, followed by some tax related advise etc (something similar to what you've recommended). Thanks.

Looks nice. Just a question, are you storing the data. (I know not sensitive but still.)
rk0567 · 10 years ago
No. Data never leaves the browser (temporarily stored on client's browser using sessionStorage).

I can't help but notice the .net.in domain. I haven't seen this before. Is this like .co.in but for .net versions ?

I feel the website is a good starting point but would be nice if it had more sliders for providing various inputs and a real time update of the tax to be paid.

rk0567 · 10 years ago
yeah, I couldn't find anything else.

Points noted. It's the initial version of what I wanted to build. I'll add more features gradually as I get some input/suggestion from the users. Thank you.
