SPO: Hub site URL naming convention
kenneho I would not recommend using a naming standard for hubs or hub membership in the URL. Instead, use the Site Title to accomplish this. Hubs are designed to be flexible and change as your business needs change. If you keep changing URLs, you will have a web of re-directs. Most users will see the Site Title before they see the URL (and when you make a navigation link, you always want a relevant, user friendly label - rarely the URL). I would consider a hub site title naming convention first, for example, HR Hub or HR Center (or Centre).
jcgonzalezmartin and SusanHanley , thanks for your input.
SusanHanley , if I understand you correctly, there is nothing in URL for your hub sites that indicates that it's a hub sites? In other words, both hub sites and regular com.sites follow the same naming convention? (This is what I'm leaning towards, as I find that to be a more flexible solution for changes in business needs - if some time in the future we find that a regular site could benefit from being converted to a hub site, I'd like to do so without having to rename the URL and incoming links as well. )
