In fact, I have written thousands of words on this topic.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, though, those thousands of words fall by the wayside compared to a short quote from someone that uses a premium domain.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, I&#8217;ve gathered 6 quotes from founders and C-level executives of companies that have acquired a one-word domain name. These quotes perfectly describe the experience and potential benefits of utilizing a premium domain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;One Word Domains Are the Holy Grail&#8221; &#8211; Harry Hurst, CEO of Pipe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>British entrepreneur Harry Hurst launched Pipe in 2019, providing an option to <a href=\"https:\/\/pipe.com\/\">convert recurring revenue streams into up-front capital<\/a>. The service was popular from the get-go, allowing Pipe to raise $16 million in funding by mid-2020.<\/p>\n<p>In under 2 years, Hurst led Pipe to a $2 billion valuation, achieved thanks to a $250 million Series B funding round in 2021. To date, Pipe has raised $566 million in disclosed funding.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout its journey from startup to unicorn, Pipe has operated on Pipe.com. The company made securing this ultra-premium domain a priority. As an online financial platform looking to make a mark on an industry, acquiring Pipe.com allowed the company to present itself as a legitimate and trusted entity with long-term ambitions it has undoubtedly fulfilled.<\/p>\n<p>The power of Pipe.com hasn&#8217;t gone unnoticed by founder Harry Hurst, who put out a series of tweets about one-word .com domain names. The memorable quote from the thread is, <em>&#8220;One-word dictionary domains are the holy grail IMO (but I&#8217;m biased). They&#8217;re not cheap, but they stamp authority, allow you to build trust with your customers faster (all else being equal) and typically convert better from paid digital through to checkout\/sale.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;(Owning Wealth.com) gave them a sense of the size of the idea behind this name, it&#8217;s an amazing branding point. I believe in domain names.&#8221; &#8211; Rei Carvalho, Executive Chairman of Wealth.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In May 2022, I <a href=\"https:\/\/mediaoptions.com\/blog\/on-the-record-wealth-com\/\">interviewed<\/a> Rei Carvalho, the co-founder and executive chairman of Wealth, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wealth.com\/\">a new estate planning service for the 21st century<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The platform was built as a result of Carvalho&#8217;s own needs for a modern solution to estate planning.<\/p>\n<p>Over a year before launching, Carvalho acquired the Wealth.com domain name for an undisclosed fee, giving the new business a perfect launching pad for success.<\/p>\n<p>Carvalho, an Internet entrepreneur with a string of successes under his belt dating back to the 90s, has a strong understanding of the potency of a good domain name, both as a founder and an investor.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, after investing in one Brazilian drone startup, Carvalho gifted the company its exact-match .com domain.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to me about Wealth.com, even the experienced Carvalho was amazed by how the domain name has positively impacted the business.<\/p>\n<p>New employees marveled at the company&#8217;s ownership of Wealth.com, while Carvalho noted that the domain gave potential investors a sense of the size of the idea behind the domain name.<\/p>\n<p>Wealth launched to the public in early 2022, revealing that it had raised $16 million in funding while in stealth mode.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;The single word dotcom effect is real&#8221; &#8211; Carl Hancock, CEO of Gravity Forms<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gravity Forms has grown into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gravityforms.com\/\">one of the most popular WordPress developers<\/a> since it was founded in 2007. The company, which predominantly offers powerful WordPress web forms, has operated on GravityForms.com since its launch.<\/p>\n<p>However, it has always been interested in owning Gravity.com. Unfortunately, for a long time, the domain was owned by AOL, which itself acquired the domain in 2009 as part of the purchase of content personalization company Gravity.<\/p>\n<p>When the opportunity to buy Gravity.com came about, Gravity Forms snapped at the chance, purchasing the domain in an all-cash deal.<\/p>\n<p>Gravity Forms&#8217; co-founder, Carl Hancock, quickly realized how impactful the Gravity.com domain name is.<\/p>\n<p>In a tweet, Hancock said, <em>&#8220;One thing I&#8217;ve learned from just a few days of owning the Gravity.com domain name with a catch-all email address is if your company name contains the word &#8216;Gravity&#8217; people assume your email address is gravity.com. The single word dotcom effect is real.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Owning Extend.com makes us seem, feel, and act like a standalone multi-billion dollar corporation.&#8221; &#8211; Woody Levin, CEO of Extend.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Extend&#8217;s acquisition of Extend.com is one I have written about a couple of times before. The 2019 startup immediately realized the need to own its exact-match .com, purchasing the domain for an undisclosed fee as soon as the company knew it was available.<\/p>\n<p>Extend&#8217;s CEO Woody Levin was so eager to secure Extend.com that he owned the domain within 48 hours of opening negotiations. That&#8217;s remarkably quick for a domain name of this magnitude.<\/p>\n<p>In a 2020 <a href=\"https:\/\/mediaoptions.com\/blog\/on-the-record-the-domain-story-of-extend-com\/\">interview with me<\/a>, Levin described the reasons for acquiring Extend.com so early in the company&#8217;s lifecycle.<\/p>\n<p>In a standout quote from the interview, Leven said, *&#8221;owning Extend.com makes us seem, feel, and act like a standalone multi-billion dollar corporation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;By having Olive.com, it really adds a level of credibility to our brand and helps drive name recognition.&#8221; &#8211; Paul Sherman, CMO of Olive.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>AI company Olive has raised $856.3 million in funding and has been valued at $4 billion. However, Olive, plus several other companies named Olive, missed out on the Olive.com domain name. Now, Olive.com is off the market forever.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s because <a href=\"https:\/\/olive.com\/\">extended car warranty brand<\/a> Olive bullishly acquired the domain soon after launching.<\/p>\n<p>According to Olive&#8217;s CMO, Paul Sherman, the company was not in a position to acquire Olive.com before going to market, but it decided to purchase the domain as soon as it could in order to help with offline marketing and brand amplification.<\/p>\n<p>Olive has grown quickly since its launch in April 2020, achieving 144.5% growth between 2020 and 2021, and Olive.com is central to the company&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n<p>The domain has been featured in national TV commercials and is now a sponsor of NHL team Anaheim Ducks, meaning that Olive.com will be heavily promoted throughout the Duck&#8217;s arena. Would Olive have been able to achieve its success using its previous domain, GoGetOlive.com?<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps, but as Paul Sherman told me in an interview, <em>&#8220;by having Olive.com, it really adds a level of credibility to our brand and helps to drive name recognition.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;There&#8217;s a sense of trust and authority that comes with a great name like Paw.com, and that seems to give a positive boost to just about everything.&#8221; &#8211; David Gimes, Founder of Paw.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trust and authority. These are two words that are synonymous with ultra-premium domain names. Whether you represent a multi-billion dollar business or a brand-new startup, the right premium domain can help you present as an authoritative figure.<\/p>\n<p>When TreatADog was hunting for a new name after noticing customers were struggling to remember its brand name, the company settled on Paw.com.<\/p>\n<p>The generic nature of Paw.com meant that the company could expand beyond dog-related products while also establishing itself as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paw.com\/\">trusted authority in the pet product industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In an <a href=\"https:\/\/mediaoptions.com\/blog\/paw-com\/\">interview<\/a>, Paw.com founder David Grimes told me that the switch to Paw.com had a tremendously positive impact on the company, noting that *&#8221;there&#8217;s a sense of trust and authority that comes with a great name like Paw.com, and that seems to give a positive boost to just about everything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a domain name journalist, I can write thousands of words about a premium domain names&#8217; benefit to a new or existing company.
