Choosing a good .io name
Pick a name that still makes sense when spoken aloud. Many teams pair a .io with the matching .com later as they grow.
Where .io came from
.io is the country code for the British Indian Ocean Territory, but most people who see it think of input and output in computing. That association made it a favourite for software, APIs and indie games from the early 2010s onward.
Things to check before buying .io
Compare the yearly renewal with .com, as .io usually costs more. Choose a name that engineers will remember from a code snippet or a conference talk. Aged .io names with existing backlinks can give a new project a head start in search.
