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.

hg1816.com got sold in more than $ 1,000.

I don't know why it was sold for a certain price, but I do know the HG prefix + number is popular. For example, this site sells many HG domain names. http://www.07123.cn/

HG:皇冠>Imperial crown

1816 is easy to pronounce in Chinese.
18:易发>Easy to make a fortunate
16:易来>Easy to come
So fortune is easy to come.

This thread is very inspiring and helpful! I'm learning great new things here, thank you!

I was wondering if there would be any meaning to XZQJ?

 

[deez007]

Excellent post mate, thanks for shedding some light on the matter. Definitely makes a lot of sense and I'm sure it would help a lot of us going forward when it comes to thinking of creative domain names for the Chinese market.

LOL, how much are you willing to pay for it?
Thanks so much for the review.

Kassey when I am hand registering a domain, should I reg in English or simplified Chinese?

 

[Kassey Lee]

meaning of FYBBS.

The Chinese name shown on the FYBBS.cc site is 阜阳论坛 (Fu Yang BBS). Fu Yang is a city name and BBS is English abbreviation for Bulletin Board System. So you see Chinese do use English words in domain names.

any meaning to XZQJ?

Examples:
XZQJ:西藏全景>Xi Zang (Tibet) panoramic view
XZQJ:西藏趣记> Xi Zang fun note

Tour-related sites?

thinking of creative domain names for the Chinese

Yes, lots of thinking required.

when I am hand registering a domain, should I reg in English or simplified Chinese

I do both. Chinese do understand common English words. Must be simple and easy to remember, imo. I've written a related blog post and will be published soon.

Thanks for the interesting questions. They help me produce more creative juice.

I recently got this 5 letter, non-vowel name, and it's a PR3, so it had to have been important at one time, so I checked, and it was this truck-container company. But the letters sjyjf do not seem to be in the company name, but they do appear on the logo. I also see there is a link to what appears to be a Chinese government website at the bottom. Was this a government run company?

What else could the letters mean besights the container company?

 

[Tytus]

Are tools like google translate reliable with translations for domain letters? One thing that confuses me is that some meanings that are all capitals have completely different letters than all lower case. Does this matter or does the word still mean the same thing?

8YunQi.com Kassey comments please? I forgot we own this one lol Thank you !

 

[Kassey Lee]

whats the meaning of BIDBD.COM?

I may just keep the "BID" part as English and
BD:宝店>Treasure shop, so a shop full of treasure that can be bought via bidding. Brand becomes BID宝店

With long names, I don't try to find any meaning. In most cases, they are not for consumers. For speculation, most probably don't think about meaning. I may write a blog post on this topic.

Company name: Shang Hai Jiao Yun Jí Zhuang Xiang Fa Zhan (上海交运集装箱发展)
SJYJF =Shang Jiao Yun Jí Fa (taken from name, but unusual abbreviation, should be better with JYJ in my opinion)

I use it regularly, but only to explore possibilities. It's not the sole tool. Sometimes not accurate. Good idea for another blog post, thanks to your question.

8YunQi.com Kassey comments please? I forgot we own this one lol Thank you !

yunqi:運氣>Luck
Name is good but I'm not sure if 8 + Pinyin will become popular in the future. But, China is big, so anything is possible.
