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.

Thanks in advance

@ChinaMobi, do you think numeric .info has a chance in China? We've been having some debate about them on this forum.

The company's full name in Chinese is:

广州大功将装饰工程有限公司

The name is too long, so they picked only the most important part of the name:

大功将装饰>Da Gong Jiang Zhuang Shì>DGJZS

There you have it.

Sorry, I'm not the expert, so I have no idea what the future will be.

After acquiring ZCB.com, domain investor Yang Bing ZOU once again grabbed two more LLL domain names in an auction.


CNX.com @ mid 6 figures

CNX:长宁县>Changning county

CN can also stand for "China" and X for "visit" or "heart"

CNX:中国行>Visit China
CNX:中国心>Heart of China

LLL.com domain names are considered hard currency, gaining wide popularity in China.


JBW.net @ mid 5 figures

BJW:北京网>Beijing net
BJW:比价网>Price comparison net
BJW:白酒网>White spirit net
BJW:保健网>Health care net


Some of Zou's recent LLL acquisitions include:

dwz.com @460k RMB
bqt.com @ mid 6
zcb.com @ 7 figures

@ChinaMobi do you think Chunjie.info ( 春节 ) is worth mid 3 figures?

春节(Chunjie) = Chinese New Year

Sorry, I'm not the expert, so I have no idea how much it's worth. But, for us, Chunjie is the most important event during the whole year, which means this name is associated with a lot of money.

The multiple identities of Chinese...

Domain investor Yue DAI just bought NXR.cn for mid 6 figures, after acquiring NXW.cn recently. These two domain names mean a lot to Dai because he's from Ningxiang.

NXW:宁乡网>Ningxiang net
NXR:宁乡人>Ningxiang people

Ningxiang is a county with a population of about 1.4m -- not really large by Chinese standard, but with high per capital income exceeding 12,000 US$.

These two domain names can be used as social networks for folks from Ningxiang, which implies commercial values.

Note that each Chinese usually carries multiple identities. Someone can be a Chinese, Hongkongese, Cantonese, and Hakkanese simultaneously. There are many Chinese associations in the world catering to the different identifies of Chinese.

Hi ChinaMobi,

Its been a while since our last chat on Mobility(.)mobi

Do you think HKCN.biz is acceptable for Hong Kong, China ?

Thanks

 

[Kassey Lee]

@noonoo1 Nice to see you again. Personally I don't like geo+countrycode names. How about CardiffWales.com? Is it acceptable? But, Biz did very well in terms of registration number in Nov. Just amazing!

IMO is just a bubble made by smart guys
Say chinese not buy or reseller buy only DN without vovels

From 4.cn - live auction & are a lot of this and good price + read more about chinese language so nothing serious here almost any domain name is good if it sell to the right buyer & stop sell cheap to so called "reseller's"
"I believe only short and easy-to-remember domain names are sustainable" true + keywords & one word and not important if have or not vovels
