Wouldn't cotech.coop be better than coops.tech?

I guess it doesn't make a huge amount of different but personally I think cotech.coop would be a lot better url for CoTech than our existing coops.tech domain (more pricey though)
What do you think? Does it matter?

in the long run, but as others have said, cost and convenience may also be factors

I think this should be thought through strategically from a branding perspective before switching things up.

Conditional on overarching aims of Cotech - if to grow cooperatives .coop. If to focus on tech .tech

Already #1 on Google for cotech. But, makes sense to pick a TLD that it just for coops, and features the brand name explicitly

whilst i love the coop tld, cotech is a bit of a mouthful

I'm forced to choose an option to comment, which seems problematic. There's a wider issue here. AFAIK, cotech is not a co-op but rather a collection/network of co-ops. Perhaps that should change?

I don't think we should be focusing our efforts on minor points like this. Anyone can have a .coop domain so it's not fundamental to me. There's also a cost issue, so unless anyone is willing to own this and pay for it...if it ain't broke :)

CoTech isn't technically a coop so I think this is confusing from a brand perspective, and there is brand projects underway, so whilst it is performing well already I don't see the reason to change in the short term. :thinking:
