question Are Arabic Domains Garbage and do you have any?

[WhoaDomain.com]

I shortened the original thread title which was:

Are Arabic character and or Arabic word domains created using western characters garbage?

Just wanted to know since I did register some like last year. I really don't understand why Arabic Character domains and even Arabic word domains created using western characters (A,B,C,D,E-X,Y,Z) haven't really taken off since ICANN allowed IDN's? One would assume easily that anything "arabic" is Big money just because of the wealth in those countries. Why hasn't it been adopted in areas like Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates? I mean for a culture that takes pride in being "Strict" with it's rules and having so much pride in it's culture (rightly so because of it's rich history) why haven't they adopted the idea of using their language with Arabic characters in the domains they use for their businesses? I mean I understand that Saudi Arabia and the UAE basically want western businesses to come to UAE and Saudi Arabia. So it makes sense that they would want to make it easier for Westerners to easily find their websites since of course most Westerners don't read nor speak Arabic but still why not accompanying Arabic domain to match company domain?

I know there are other IDN's but I have a specific purpose for this thread so I'm leaving this as a separate thread and next will be the Chinese IDN version of this thread.

So let's hear all your comments, opinions from everyone newbies to Guru's and everyone in between. Let's hear your thoughts and views and honest opinion on this topic. Thanks.

I dont have Arabic and Chinese Domains but still got bank domain ie BankOfEmirates(.)com...If any bank established in emirates,due think the .com will be there priority if they want to globalize their company services ..?

.AE rules in UAE. .. The .com is almost secong grade when it comes to big companies but still a .com is an interrsting option for any business entity...no doubt.

It is not slang per se at all. It means Gold... Hence ..why it is taken .

what about dhahabi.com? I did a google it means Golden? or no? plus googled it and first on the list was the name of some arabic or muslim religious figure name Dhahabi? also I'd like your opinion on my list Abdullah Abdullah please? thanks!

let's be fair i think your domain is good and i didn't check the sales history before i see the list you mentioned here so we may see it selling to the right enduser

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

Guys you are going crazy over here lol. As weird as it may sound even though I speak Arabic I would invest in 5n.com or 6n.com any day rather than risking it with Arabic domains, too many choices too many risks for me, check @Abdullah Abdullah numeric portfolio for example ... Maybe there is Arabic speaking domainers who are having success but it isn't me so I can't help any more

haha lol thanks Bro I understand.

I've lined up some prospects already in Arab countries for these domains.

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

how the heck did I miss that one? bankofemirates.com since june 2015? wow! nice!

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

closest I have to BankofEmirates.com is AbudhabiWealthFund.com Abudullah? you still there? what do you think?

AHHH! nice! didn't even bother looking just assumed it was villa.
lol

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

Alfaylat doesnt sound like villas it sounds more like files - villas can be villat, vellat, vilal, velat, vilat, beyot, this is what i mean by too many choices. IMO best thing is to check google keyword planner and see what gets most searches.

rufahia can be rafaheya, rafahia and so on.

BTW Abdullah? use google translator and check out the pinyin to english for XNXSZG.com I see you have BJVR.org

anyways XNXSZG.com translates to VRChina.com

Alaleab.com
alaeib.com
muzahadur.com
aistathmar.com
alfaylat.com
hiwanalyf.com

well...Let me tell you one thing... with so many dialects , you will always have people who spell a word the same way you did, which is in a way a good thing. With that said lets see what i see:

Altatbiq.com - The Application

dhahabi.com - Golden

Albarmjiat.com - Programmes


aistathmar.com ---Invest

Fayiq.com - Excellent - Outstanding , etc

 

[Abdullah Abdullah]

Fayiq.com is five-letters Does it mean something like superior or great? Also maybe could be a kids name?

Fayiq.com - Excellent - Outstanding , etc

There you go Thank you! are you sure are just buttering my ego up?

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

Not at all , add that to Ruhaia....which means welfare etc.

you mean Rufahia?

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

Aizdihar Prosperity?

 

[Branded Domains]

how the heck did I miss that one? bankofemirates.com since june 2015? wow! nice!

It was dropped by someone(may be the registrar was not enom godaddy etc where auction takes place for expired names)...So grabbed..it..

 

[Abdullah Abdullah]

I keep
Istishhad.com +istishad.com
Tahlila.com
Shahadatan.com
Not commercial brands, but after all 25% of the world population understands the meaning of these words.
More than understand Chinese.

Good ones with the spelling too

 

[TRY]

NycArab.com

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

Yes but it is more like Ezdihar and yes, it appears the .com is gone for good lool

so mine is wrong? geeez! well look I'm planning on selling to someone online yes? If I link them to the Google translator page that shows Aizdihar? why wouldn't they buy it? I mean maybe no arabic buyer but some western buyer. I'll tell them I have the word for Prosperity in arabic for say $5000!. in .COM. don't believe me? no problem just check this link on Google. Thanks.

https://translate.google.com/?hl=en#auto/ar/prosperity

With any luck no one will do much research after that. besides is Aizdihar really "incorrect" or just "sounds" incorrect? or "looks" incorrrect? or like you said depending on where an Arabic speaker is from there's like 100 versions of how to spell an Arabic word with western characters correct?

The spelling is not correct which changes the way it is pronounced but yeah some countries might like it.
