tips Dash in a otherwise single-word domain name

If you add a hyphen in the middle of a word, it takes all value out the name.

You can get lucky with a few words where it makes a little sense, but its unlikely

Avoid hyphens in domains, unless its a .DE, Germans dont mind a hyphen.

Suppose it's one of those lucky ones that make sense, annd suppose it's a .DE. How much less value does the one with "-" as opposed to the one without it?

For instance: -

Berlin-Wall.de

vs.

BerlinWall.de

How about this domain, New-Born.com (i own it)?

Your post is valuable. I appreciate.

It really depends on whether you can find an end-user for it and how deep their pockets are. I would have BerlinWall.de over Berlin-Wall.de any day. This is different because its 2 words. I would not want Inter-view.de though, in .DE or any other extension, thats putting a hyphen in the middle of a word which doesn't work

which is more appropriate,genai.com or gen-ai.com? without the hyphen i would pronounce it genay.genai is actually the name of a town.
