Another Web Surfer / Domain question

TheCoilist · Oct 3, 2019

Okay...

I have another client who's looking to setup a blog/podcast site. He's mentioned wanting to do a particular domain that goes along with his youtube channel name, but the name is taken as it is.

So the question is, from a end user (not SEO point of view) would you as a listener/fan rather go to a hyphenated URL or a half spelled URL.

For example, let's say the YouTube channel name is 2019 but 2019.com is taken.

Would you rather go to:

20-19.com or 20nineteen.com

20nineteen...less symbols the other way but you have to do more to get there, I think.
Hyphens are the black sheep of the keyboard.

+1 just what I was thinking after reading the first post !

It just looks more like a legitimate web site, just my impression !

Edit to add:

another possible idea is podcast2019.com

That’s true. I’ll inquire why he wanted the number vs spelling it out. I did mention hyphens are generally seen as spam indicators.

Thinking he’s just stubborn with YouTube channel name. But I do like podcast#### too.
