wayne_chance · 07-30-2010, 06:03 PM

costari_ca or costa-ri_ca ?

I'm not a fan of hyphens, so I'd choose the first one.

CostaRi.ca is the ultimate hack for this geo!
avoiding hyphens whenever possible is best!!

jandermile · 07-30-2010, 08:11 PM

costari.ca prefireebly becuase theres no hyphen. I think this is a great hack

"avoiding hyphens whenever possible is best!"

domineers myth!

this is the way i see it, value ranked:

Costa-Rica.com
Costa-Ri.ca
CostaRica.com
Costari.ca

Now look at this list which looks out of place?

Costari why Costari sounds like an italian name or a rap singer.
In this case a hyphen is ideal for a two word domain hack.

CostaRica.com is the best

The only hack I'd like would be: Costa.rica

Otherwise:

CostaRica.com
Costa-Rica.com

CostaRica.com is by far the best, and it is not even close. It is at least 50X more valuable than any other domain on the list.

Second would be Costa-Rica.com by a landslide. There are far more end users willing to buy a top tier hyphenated .COM than a domain hack.

I agree with you 95%. A great Hack can be more valuable than a hyphenated .com
In this case he is trying to use a "longtail hack" which has little to no value.

With that being said....as far as longtail hacks go Costari.ca isn't terrible if you just want to own a hack and experiment with it.

Good luck with your idea/project regardless what you choose.

I wanted to make sure I was clear that Costa Rica isn't a great candidate to be hacked no matter how you slice it. This is a good example of why sensible hacks so rare and valuable.
