Domain Empire

sales Understanding the Mid Five-Figure Domain Name Sale of Huifenqi.com

Spaceship Spaceship
Renting a place in China requires a lot of cash upfront. Apart from the one-month deposit, renters also need to pay three to six months of rent in advance when signing a contract, which may be difficult for people with good income but not much saving.

Huifenqi is an app and lending service designed with this in mind. Simply described, Huifenqi makes the advance payment on your behalf and then you pay them back in monthly installments plus interest. It's gaining in popularity and received Series A funding within a year of its launch.

In May of this year, the startup paid mid five figures CNY to acquire the domain name Huifenqi.com for its official website. The name Huifenqi consists of three Pinyin characters (commonly called "3-pin" within the domain industry): Hui() Fen() Qi(). The domain name matches its service brand and means "paying by installments."

What a simple message! You get it right away when you see it.

As a 3-pin containing only 9 letters, Huifenqi is quite easy to remember. However, to protect its brand and future, the company may want to acquire its acronym equivalent: HFQ.com. The domain name HFQ.com is currently displaying a parked page with ads and an inquiry link that indicates it may be for sale.

Kassey-I think you're going to get many replies on this post. We always try to buy the ".com" but we recently bought Duzhu.org I understand it's not the .com but I think it will have future value. As I mentioned above we own eXingbie.com The English version "eSex.com" is worth a lot of money to whoever owns it-how this one will translate we'll just have to see. Thanks again for a great post-we'll be following your future articles.
XingBie:性別>Gender (not a "sex"y word though)

PayByInstallments.com would get rather "mid five finger" than "mid five figure" in the west...

Kassey-excellent and informative post-thank you. I think that the China domain market will see more and more "names" that can also translate int the rest of the world. We own names such as eXingbie.com Time will tell if we're correct or not but we'll keep looking for great Chinese names that can be used worldwide. Happy Holidays!

Yes, the "G" should not be there. As a new blogger, I tried to check and recheck but I just didn't see the obvious mistake. Thanks for pointing out my typo.

You can have a prosperous future. You speak the language and understand the culture. All you have to do it learn some basic domain theory. Short, Catchy, Easy to pronounce, memorable. What makes your opportunity so unique is the Chinese are breaking every rule and buying 10's of millions in domains.

Nice blog entry CM. I particularly like how well it illustrates what a pinyin acronym actually is.

CM, does the pinyin 'Kuaifenqi' make sense for this type of service as well?
If so, why was 'Huifenqi' the preferred choice?
Excellent question! I'll look at it in details in my next name review series. Please subscribe to my blog to get the update. Thanks

You look at every opportunity! single-pin, double-pin, 3-pin, and 4-pin may become common terms in domain investment.

Wow, You must be very good at Chinese!

In the name Hui(会) Fen(分) Qi(期), the character 会 can, as you said, be pronounced as either Hui or Kuai. See the Yabla result here: .

However, Kuai is used for accounting-related word, so may not be appropriate in this case.
