     "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
     new { controller = "Other", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
 );

For your Home Controller, to hit

index action url: mydomain

you need

routes.MapRoute(
 name: "Home",
 url: "",
 defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

to hit

about action url: mydomain/about

you need

routes.MapRoute(
 name: "Home",
 url: "about",
 defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "About", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
); 

For your Other Controller, to hit

index action url: mydomain/other

you need

routes.MapRoute(
 name: "Other",
 url: "other",
 defaults: new { controller = "Other", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

Note that, in all cases, the “name” parameter doesn’t really matter.
