Ask HN: Do I need to register a lot of redundant domains?
I am asking this question because I find myself occasionally registering redundant domains that relate to my company/service. For example, my company has a .io domain, but I have also registered a few other TLDs like .app, .cloud, .email and .online just in case.
I already have a subdomain mail.<example>.io but I am about to register mycompany-mail.com because someone else might register and misuse it. I stopped to think if everyone did this or I'm being super paranoid.
For the same <example> name, I have more than 20 domains registered while I could have easily settled for subdomains. I have <examplegames>.com as well as <example>.games domain and few more typos and double 'aa' variations, just in case.
Please share if you have a similar experience or wisdom. What's the best practice in your opinion?
