Politics
What the legislature did while nobody was watching
The session is short and consequential, and most of it goes unreported outside Austin.
Below is a concept, not a real business. One version of what you could build on texans.live.
Texans
News
Texas, covered by people who live here.
Reporting from across the state, without the national framing that treats thirty million people as a single anecdote.
SubscribeWater
The resource question nobody wants to answer
Growth, drought, and an aquifer that is not keeping up.
Culture
The state is not one place
El Paso, Houston, and the Panhandle have less in common than the national coverage suggests.
Live
Coverage as it happens
Storms, elections, and the things that empty a town on a Friday night.
Thirty million people, covered mostly as a punchline.
This is the other version.
A demonym is a stronger name than a place name, because it names the people rather than the map, and people subscribe.
Texas has an unusually strong regional identity and an unusually large population, which is a good combination for anything that depends on affinity rather than reach.
Dot live reads as an assertion here as much as a format, which is the sort of accident that makes a name memorable.
Some ideas
A few things you could build here
None of these are the "right" answer. They're just starting points, and if you have a better one, we'd genuinely like to hear it.
A statewide publication
Regional news that people pay for is having a genuine revival, and identity is the reason.
A live events or sports brand
The extension is doing obvious work for anything broadcast.
A community or membership platform
Affinity names carry membership businesses well.
If you want it
We can build whatever you have in mind
Most domains are sold by people who only sell domains. Savo Group is a design, software, and marketing company, so if you want texans.live live and working rather than parked, that is a conversation we can actually have. Entirely optional, quoted separately from the name, and no hard feelings if you already have a team.
Design and brand
Identity, site design, and the whole visual system. If you have a name and nothing else, this is where it starts.
Software and product
Web apps, platforms, integrations. The thing itself, not just the site that describes it.
Search and growth
SEO, content, and paid acquisition. Getting the domain found once it has something worth finding.
Tick the box on the offer form and we will include some thoughts on what texans.live could become when we reply. Or say nothing, and we will just talk about the domain.
Terms
Two ways to acquire it
Not every buyer is in the same position, so the domain is available on any of the following. Tell us which suits you and we will put figures against it.
Purchase
$6,888
Pay in full and own it outright.
- texans.live transfers to your registrar account, normally within three to five business days.
- Full ownership from the moment the transfer completes.
- Escrow.com available on request, with the fee split or covered by us on larger sales.
Lease
Agreed with you
Use the domain without buying it.
- We keep ownership and point texans.live to your site for a monthly fee.
- The rate depends on the term and what you are building, so we agree it with you rather than publishing one.
- Sensible if you want to test a brand before committing to the full price.
- Cancel with 30 days notice, or convert to a purchase at any point.
Whichever route you take, there is no broker in the middle and no commission added to the price. Offers receive a reply within one business day.
Still thinking about it?
Names like this tend to sit until someone decides they want it, and then move quickly. If you're weighing it up, send a number and start the conversation. There's no obligation on either side.
