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.

NN provided varied use IMHO

True. Many possibilities.

 

[Robson1]

I have

Dadiceliangxue.com (Geodesy/https://chinese.yabla.com/chinese-english-pinyin-dictionary.php?define=dadiceliangxue)

What do you think about this?

I have

Dadiceliangxue.com (Geodesy/https://chinese.yabla.com/chinese-english-pinyin-dictionary.php?define=dadiceliangxue)

What do you think about this?

Long 5-pin name with narrow application. But, what do I know? I assume you have done your research and found commercial application for it.

True. Many possibilities.

I may have found one:

盛年年年

Years of prosperity?

I may have found one:

Acronym domains usually have many possible meanings. I think it is more important to list your domains so that end users in China can also see them. They know what the acronym means to them when they already have a brand name in mind. For this reason, I list my domains at Afternic with fast transfer so that the domains can be seen inside China. Are your domains also available via registrars in China?

I normally just put them on 4.cn since it has an English version....ename etc are a bit weird to navigate.

I find Afternic fast transfer best because you can then sell to the entire world including China.

Yea I put them there as well. I thought you were talking about just Chinese marketplaces .

I don't. I always aim for the whole world.

 

[Domainating]

I was just wondering what the worth of the .com 'W3DN' might be on the Chinese market?
Just curious, of course. If I die from COVID-19 anytime soon I want to be able to tell my son which domains to be sure to hold onto.

 

[Kassey Lee]

I don't know @Domainating, because I'm the worst domain appraiser in the world. To overcome my shortcoming, I do end user research using dotDB and Google search to see if there are potential users for a domain I plan to acquire, unless the name's value is obvious, such as apple.com and banana.com.

 

[Domainating]

Yeah, I guess it's not real valuable in China, but I had GF9 and WF9 (both .coms) that I sold to a Chinese girl (I think). None of these make any characters in Chinese according to that link on the top of page 79. But W3DN works well for what I use it for. So, at least it's valuable to me.

 

[Kassey Lee]

Actually I own many 4C domains and in June I sold Jo20(dot)com which is being used for someone who is running as a presidential candidate. I picked them up a few years ago because they are short and easy to remember. In these cases, I did not find any potential users but I simply believed they would be useful one day. GF9 and WF9 are definitely valuable because they are short and easy to remember. In the case of China, LL is the most popular acronym and 9 is a good number.

 

[platey]

I check namebio every morning for sold results

Simply by typing

xn--

As a

keyword

Then press search

Which lists all

Emoji and idn website addresses above $100 ish etc

I then type any new xn-- in to the emoji website address website which shows me which xn-- s are emoji and which xn-- s are idn s etc

But when the xn-- code produces an idn pic etc i can see the 2 or 3 characters but havent got a clue what they mean etc

Does anyone know the best way to work out what an idn means etc

.com is the king

 

[slader23]

@Kassey Lee

Acquired:
AIXX(.)COM
I think it has great potential in Artificial intelligence with meanings like;
A.I 学习(Xue Xi)---> A.I Learning.
A.I 学校(Xue Xiao)---> A.I School.
A.I 学校 (XinXi)---> A.I Information.
AI 行星 (XingXing)---> A.I Planet.
AI 星星 (XingXing)---> A.I Star.

and also for phrases like;

爱学习, 爱星星, 爱学校, 爱讯息.

Good Luck
