It feels impossible to get a domain with anything like a reasonable name. I’ve got what i think is a solid idea for a saas. I’ve got a good start on the architecture. I’ve had some good feedback on names amongst friends and family. But nothing is available. And to add insult lots of my ideal domains aren’t even being used. They’re parked with for sale sign on them.

Assuming you don’t start with 5 figures to spend on a domain where does one even start? Buy an ugly tld and seo the hell out of it?
