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 have two premiums.
wbo.xyz
oit.xyz
what are these means in chinese?

The idea of Chinese meaning works well mostly on letters there are not aeiouv. There are few exceptions, of course, such as e at the beginning or v at the end. In your case, I can't find good meanings for the domain names because of the "o" and "i" in them..

香港島.com (Hong Kong Island)
please advise,it is worth to buy?

Please note there is a slight difference in the name between the traditional Chinese (香港島, which is your domain name) and simplified Chinese (香港岛). Very subtle difference. One man's rubbish is another man's treasure, so value is subjective.

8194.com?
I know 8 is popular, I was also reading that these numbers are pronounceable, does this arrangement have any significance or is it simply a good CHIP? or NNNN.com? What do you think it will sell for?

Got in the bidding war on namejet, just checked, currently at $10,000. yikes.

Doing a little research:
8294.com 20,000 USD 2016-04-25 NameJet
Though isn't 2 a bad number? or is that 4?

8194.com?

8194 rhymes with 百应久思 (respond to many, think for long). Can be used in consulting services.

Do these domains mean anything and who would be my target buyer?

8 rhymes with 发 (make a fortune) and 富 means "wealth", so it is a money word. I am not a fan of domain names made of number and Chinese character. I have no idea who the buyers may be. Sorry, can't help.

Going for NNNLL.com's seeing they have some potential. Any idea what these LL mean?

Sorry, if this has already been discussed, opinions?

.移动 DOMAIN DESCRIPTION

The .移动 domain name extension will provide an improved opportunity for Chinese-speaking people around the world to expand the creation of Chinese domain names. Having a domain name extension in Chinese that focuses around mobile applications will make available vast new opportunities, including being able to create complete web addresses in their native language. With a .移动 domain name, sites that focus on mobile technologies and sites that have a separate mobile version will get a major boost.
