Do you think "tek" is a reasonable subsitute for "tech" in a domain?
As the title says.. I'm curious if others think "Tek" would be reasonable substitute slang word used in a domain where "tech" isn't available for the given phrase.

Tek is the brand name of a self drilling and tapping metal screw -- that is my first thought association with that word.
TEK is a part of a lot of trademarks Trademarks | USPTO Search database for trademark registrations and applications by mark, owner, or serial/registration number with Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) Make sure your name would not infringe. |

Yeah "Tek" is a reasonable substitute for tech 👍😁 Due diligence for trademark / service mark, also check domain history for any a previous disputes and you're good to go! |

tec is a better alternative to tech
That achieved branding. If you root name + tech +tec is not available I would get a new plan. Too much name confusion ... |

tek in my case would be in line with technology.. So something like pctek or spacetek as examples of how I'd use it.. If I use tek I can get a nice short name vs something much longer.

Funny, but i had exact same issue 16 years ago, so in the end i went with technology instead. But i never builded anything on site so it didn't matter in the end. Domain which i registered then was VRTechnology.com , tho dont remember what i was planning to do with it.

You can always buy a .tech name cheap -- the domain name slippage factor will be the same. I would find a name I could register in the .com and the .tech TLDs
root_word.com root_word.tech 301 the .com |

My target audience will be traffic coming from various Web forums and social media where I expect people will drop links to the site for informational purposes. This is why I want a short easy to remember name.

It's not that far off, tekné is the spanish for the greek τέχνη (craft, technique).

Na, I'll only buy a .com but I have 2 choice root words that I can pick between (both mean the same thing so combining them doesn't work) one is 3 letters the other is 2 letters. Meaning it's very hard combo to find a open name with out adding a 3rd word. If I use the 3 letter root I can use tek but for the 2 letter version nothing is available that is reasonably short or meaningful.

You run the risk of someone not finding the site if told about it verbally.
