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 think pinyin.cn is one of the best things to buy. Most of the best ones are taken, as I think there's ~30m domains there? I only have a few myself, but am happy to get a few of the best ones I can!

A lot of .cn ,premium granted, sold at the conference, could be the start of a .cn boom.

According to my http://coreile.com/p160616.html post, .cn registration rose from 3,984,188 in 2012 to 19,364,064 in May, 2016. So, you can see the tremendous growth.

You had the foresight!

Thanks, Kassey, for your blog posts re. NN and English k'words combinations.

Have registered two promising com's: one with 37 and one with 51 - in both case, with extremely popular k'words.
IMO, it's the money much better spent than going after "patterns" and "funny extensions."

Warning and advice from a Chinese domain investor >>

The most important advice IMO

(1) Bulk trading has no truth because of the burden of renewal, so the boom of 2015 will not come again.

I see your latest post "How is .org being used in China" and it made me think to ask the real meaning of 机构. I have read it means agency, organization, and government organization. Is .机构 not commonly used? How do you interpret it? It is ran by pir.org (same company that controls .org).
