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.

Kassey
Your thoughts on US city pinyon .com value and demand
such as xiyatu.com Seattle.
Thanks.

You can use Baidu and check its search result to see how popular the term is.

I think Pinyin names for popular US cities would be great for building travel-related sites. Great brands and easily recognizable by consumers.

Kassey, Do you have the latest available Baidu released search data or link 2 ?
Is the word/term “Cyber" known or used currently in China's B2B comunities ? I asked the question as new tech words\terms that will become global generics offer opportunities in brand lead generation "Cyber" "Crypto" CyberAnquan will ultimately supersede WangluoAnquan IMO what is your opinion Kassey?
Thanks in anticipation of your netizen knowledge

Here's the link: http://tongji.baidu.com/data/source
Note that it's in Chinese and flash based, so my latest Firefox browser can't display it.

Even if you don't read Chinese, you can still use the search engine. Just enter your English term into the search box and check the number of search result. Look at the results and see if there are any domain names incorporating your search term. Visit them and get a general feel.

My Thanks Kassey
May I ask if you would please reply to my other inquiry at a personal cognitive feel/reaction as it is only to a Nation State citizen I can asked the question given time do you think "Cyber" will become a generic term in the Chinese B2B community? I have my thoughts but it would be arrogant to make assumptions without the all important cultural knowledge I look forward and will be grateful for your comment albeit a best guess.

 

[Kassey Lee]

I'm not sure if common Chinese folks recognize the word "Cyber".Is it still popular in the western world?

 

[E-Promote]

No one with any business sense cares about the word "Cyber"...add that to the pile that includes "online".

A company using Cyber.fund which is high traffic website and has Alexa traffic rank of under 200K. Poor choice of name.

Kassey It is not about the common people and for sure if you do not know then it is not known. It is about the B2B community. over the last year VC funding is pouring into rationalising the "cyber security" industry at the level $50 to $100m per group small startups will not survive without access to D-Wave systems front of till Alexa Siri Alibaba IoT mesh will force international "Cyber"Security international agreements for IoT to advance. No disrespect but Abdul/E-Promote have blinkered vision.
Google = "cyber security” [About 26,200,000 results]
crypto = 33,300,000 result
Baibu = wanglou 百度为您找到相关结果约100,000,000个
Baidu = anquan 百度为您找到相关结果约100,000,000个
Its about the near future I have done the best I can as a foreign investor for Chinese centric Cyber Security fintechs to take forward keep an eye and open mind on events as I cannot access China's fintech startups.

You misunderstood my statement.
I just shared the fact. That doesn't mean I was pointing out that the term "cyber" have faded. And that example (Cyber.fund) given above was shared for another reason that I own CyberFund.com

 

[dordomai]

cyber is not a good term in English it is dated and even if chinese people know it (doubt it) it would likely be even a worse choice in eastern markets.

This is fantasy/daydreaming domaining IMO.

 

[john888]

Kassey, have you seen an estibot like site for valuating Chinese character and pinyin domain names?Maybe someone in China will get started on one.

Having followed @Kassey Lee on here for some time now and his really expert advice I know this-if you want to sell to China make it Short and Meaningful but most important SHORT. As to pinyin names the ones that really sell are the 1 or 2 pin names re caifu.com etc and they are very expensive. I know the term "luxury car" in pinyin sold for $2 million we own hualiche.com " gorgeous car" but who knows what it's really worth because it's a 3 pin term. It's only worth what a large car dealer might pay-nothing more. Sick to SHORT for China.

 

[pablohc86]

however today is Cyber Monday
there are still people that use Cyber in western world

however what we can see here it is self explanatory:
