While a domain in of itself does not a public company, its hard to argue that this company would not have had the success it had without the category killer domain.
The word “alarm” drew me in…
I am doing research for: ArmedAndAlarmed.com
So many options for these two categories (in consumer goods per topic)… I find the research fascinating…

Wow… That shows the true power of a great domain name!
A beautiful name coupled with a great product is a recipe for success…
Could this have happened with one of the new ntlds? No way in you know where!
