Web Hosting Talk : Other Forums : Web Hosting Lounge : 4 Letter Dot Com

[DynastyHost]

If you see a 4 letter dot com available. Would you register it?

[-Edward-]

register it and do what with it?. i have a 5 letter one but its .co.uk.

[BC]

I did, and I have. And the site is going live November 5th

[Bogdan]

I would

Maybe in 5 years it will worth millions.

No way, I was wrong. I thought that there were no 4-letter domains avalaible. But then 2 days ago, using a basic whois, I found out there are still a lot of them. I didn't register 4 letter with different letter, only the same letter. Here are some of mine:

bbvv.com
aauu.com
uuuq.com

but I would never reigister something like:
lpzu.com or
qzxr.com

know what I mean? because there are a lot of them like that. If you want, I will give you a list of over 40 of 4-letter domains which I didn't want to, including some the-same-2-letter-out-of-4 domains.

Last month I was having a hard time finding a 4 letter domain name. any 4!!

What happened? Did NetSol released them?

[kunal]

Depends on the domain name for me.

[BC]

Sometimes it might be NetSol releasing them; other times it's just sheer luck.

I wanted a 4-letter domain name starting with the number 1, so I did various letter checks through DirectNic - and found the one I wanted within 5 goes, so I was happy

[Nam]

No clue, I've had a hard time finding them too, but may be I didn't try hard enough. How about 3 letter? . I got 2 , but no hope of finding anymore, even 3 with number. Just took a lood at kunal's link on the other post, something like ar4.com, t8u.com are already taken .

Hey Nam, are you Vietnamese?

[JTY]

I wouldn't register a domain unless I had a good use for it.

[theNonsuch]

I'd have to agree with JTY on this one...

Domain horders are quite lame. It's because of all of the hording that we're stuck with unwieldly product names and dot-com companies with really stupid names.

I've only a few, which I'm using... and I registered my name as it's pretty common and a short version of it went to a porno site :-(

Yikes.

Hehehe, that's called business.... guys. If I can make money in a legal (and ethical) way, I'll go for it. I'm not talking about me (just an amateur), but people who get into this business, they're smart. It's not easy, they have to be fast, patient, spending a lot of time and most importantly, they saw and knew the lucrative future of this business, which nobody could see it at that time.

I had the same thought, I was going to get some names for me, but I couldn't get them, I was so angry seeing the name own by "domain for sale", it was 2 years ago. Then it gave me the copycat idea and that was how I started, I own about a hundred and so far I've only sold 2 of them, which gave me close to ten grands... but, it wasn't worth for the time I've paid. Lately, when I started to learn a bit about web design, my good domains are NOT for sale anymore, they will be used to make money like my friend, Son, at 123finder.com in the coming future. So, I don't see anything wrong with domain holders, I admire them, on the contrary (not me, though ).

DynastyHost, you're right, I'm Vietnamese (and proud of being Vietnamese ), how did you know?

[JTY]

Well I own several domains, most of which I don't use. But I use to when I had a use for them. Now I'm going to stick with thelostmind.com atleast until someone offers me cash for it.
