question Are 5L Domains A Waste Of Money?

[nhauctions]

Another thread that asked people to list their 5-L .com domains got me wondering if they are in fact a total waste of money for most people. Some of the names listed were truly terrible.

Let's do the math. There are 11,881,376 possible combinations of 5L .com domains. Namebio shows that just over 4,000 have sold this year. The top sale was voice.com and that is indeed an awesome name. But what about the average 5L domain that most people buy?

Well, if around 4,000 of these domains sell every year, it will take around 3,000 years to sell the whole lot. In other words, there is a 1 in 3,000 chance of selling a random 5L domain in the next year.

Many of the 5L names I see people buying and trying to sell are worse than average in my opinion (feel free to disagree).

So if you have a 5L domain how do you plan to sell it when you probably only have a 1 in 3,000 chance of selling in the next year?

The odds are hopelessly against you. Most people are just wasting their money registering these domains.

I hope this post will make people stop and think and also save them some money.

I just registered a 5 letter domain hahaha. Kill me !! A few months ago I had found it free, never registered, and I liked it. Pronounceable and attractive, at least to me.
I even like it for some future project
I present to fyppo.com

With 5Ls such as this *yppo, you might want to check WHOIS history to see if they've ever been regged before (if so was it developed, and if so, what for),

to ultimately ask yourself or find if any keyword is noticeable, for *yppo.com, the golden ticket (imo) would be hyppo.com (hippo).

Then, it's worth noting what variations are registered,

what's developed [byppo.com, cyppo.com, gyppo.com, hyppo.com, syppo.com],

what's available at reg fee [wyppo.com, ryppo.com, jyppo.com, qyppo.com].

This is not a recommendation to purchase any domains mentioned in this post. If anything, it could suggest you grace delete your domain and go for something else, but also if your budget allows, and if you're really feeling the *yppo, you have the option to double down and get another variant.

But if other variants are what you seek, note additional options such as *yppa.com. However, yppa loses the ippo for hippo play.

what's developed [nyppa.com redirects for/to new york press photographers association .org]

what's available [byppa.com, fyppa.com, gyppa.com, jyppa.com, xyppa.com]

note* Lyppa.com listed on brandbucket highlighting the keyword lip.

I have one very good 5L with surprisingly 2 words (rare to have because 5 letters only).. here we go:

 

[Pay.My.id]

5L .COM isn't bad domain , 5L suitable for building website , drive traffic with content , then offer to end user in the future. We know Google.COM 6L , but Google isn't worthless domain. ...

The problem is domainers have been told over and over again by a bunch of clueless people that if it's pronounceable then it's valuable. Not true. 99% of the names listed in that thread are total garbage.

Bad 5L .COM are most certainly a waste of money.

I like mine Tusno 5L thread few pronounceable

i believe value lies in 5L being pronounceable.

5L too much! Dont think all b reg’d, my life

I like mine sexkb.com compound of 2 words,well an word and an acronym.
I think I will hold on to it a little more ...

But I do agree, most of them are crap that do not mean anything, like posted in this thread something like ATRAH.com or other... random char strings.

Thanks,
Cristian
