域名|Chinese Perspective

[Kassey Lee]

I believe only short and easy-to-remember domain names are sustainable, regardless of where in the world you live and which cultural background you come from.

Now that the Chinese domain market has become a hot topic, I myself want to understand this trend too. Is there any real meaning behind each domain name sold in China? Here, I'd like to share with you what I've found as I read the Chinese news everyday.

GZX.com
GZX can stand for 更自信 (even more self-confident) which can be used in many fields such as education, self-help, and even consumer products to raise your self image.

XLY.com
XLY can stand for 夏令营 (summer camp) or 新领域 (new field) which can be used in recreation and high-tech products.

I'll take GKJ and GJS to correspond with the 3 Chinese characters.

Thanks 2 Chinese translation sites wrote them differently so I got confused.

meaning of 569 in china?

I couldn't think of any appropriate one myself. However, I did a Baidu search on 569 and got the following three suggestions which I don't feel very comfortable. Maybe other Chinese domainers can help.

@ChinaMobi - Your thoughts on LNNL com names?

LNNL is not my cup of tea, and my thought is not worth a penny.

 

[Kassey Lee]

There are always exceptions.

Long domain names can still be easy to remember, sometimes. For example: MaiMaiMai.com. The domain name was sold recently. Both buyer and seller are apparently located in China.

MaiMaiMai can refer to 买买买 (buy, buy, buy) or 卖卖卖 (sell, sell, sell) depending on the intonation. The site has a landing page only. I think it's a good choice for an ecommerce site. What do you think?

都不知道是什么意思

I sold bwz.com to China and was getting lots of inquiries. Do those letters mean anything or just was there "premium" generally?

Funny market where most sellers don't really understand what they are putting up for sale.LOL

Sorry couldn't help. I don't know.

What about "fi". Have it some meanings?

 

[Kassey Lee]

FI as a whole does not have any pinyin equivalent.

Couldn't find any meaningful Chinese characters by looking at individual letters.
