discuss Is "0" really that bad in numeric domains?

[J9]

We all know that 4 is bad number.

But I don't have much knowledge why 0 is considered bad. Actually according to my research 0 at end is better than any random number. Still people prefer other number than 0.

What are your thoughts regarding this?

 

[Chirag]

0 = nothing, not bad, but people involved around numeric domains have started discarding it as bad

 

[J9]

This Wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbers_in_Chinese_culture has placed "0" in lucky numbers and writes "The Number 0 (零 or 檸, Pinyin:líng or níng) is a whole number and it is also an even number for the money ends with 0."

 

[NPer]

"0" means "You" on it's own.

It also can give meaning to other strings of numbers.

 

[noonoo1]

I believe 0 at the end means infinate but i could be totally wrong.

 

[mirul]

Personally, I like "0" at the end

 

[Chirag]

@ChinaMobi can explain better, but chinese prefers it at last. And resellers dont prefer it at all.

 

[noonoo1]

It initially was my concern when thinking about the price range for 790.co and was good news in the end.

 

[J9]

The general trend is that buyers don't like "0" even at end. Can anyone explain the reason behind it?

General perception by the resellers that 0 is not at all good. But if you check various sites all of them says one thing, 0 = nothing, 0 = neutral. So Chinese people dont have issues with having 0 preferably not at start and resellers dont want 0 at any place./

That's exactly the point. I guess maybe reseller don't like 0 at all because Chaomi has made a complete category for numeric domains without 0,4?

General trend of numerics without 4: No 0 at all goes for good price, 0 at end goes for quite less than that, 0 at somewhere in middle goes for even lesser, and 0 at start goes for least.

So 0 at end is preferred than any other place but not at all compared to any other number at end. Why?

 

[gemstar]

We all know that 4 is bad number.

But I don't have much knowledge why 0 is considered bad. Actually according to my research 0 at end is better than any random number. Still people prefer other number than 0.

What are your thoughts regarding this?

I don't think they are because I have several of them Once the cherry pickers realize that the domains they passed up previously have become rare depending on the numbers and pattern ..They will start looking for them again

 

[DnEbook]

Doubled up for some reason, see below

 

[Kassey Lee]

@ChinaMobi can explain better, but chinese prefers it at last. And resellers dont prefer it at all.

Fortunately or unfortunately, no one told me that "0" is bad when I was growing up, and it seems I'm not the only one. Read the story of 0556.cn in my thread.

 

[artstar]

One meaning of zero is " completion" hence at the end makes sense but IMO the issue that zero is a bad number is simply erroneous info perpetrated by misinformed domainers who have done limited research on such.

 

[Michael R.]

So if I understand correctly some posts here, 100.com is less valuable than 153.com or 172.com since it has 0 in it, even at the end?

Yeah, and my Ferrari is less valuable than my BMW... If you want...

We are not talking about exceptional domains like 100 instead we are talking about domains like 52370 or 623780 etc.

 

[DnEbook]

More sales with 0 than 8 ........namebio
~
I would happily own 52370

 

[doubleU]

The number Zero '0' is dangerously close to the letter 'o' in both appearance and proximity on a qwerty keyboard.

Giving rise to enduser confusion and typos, commonly misread on screens and printed paper or overreached on keyboards.

 

[DNabc]

0 is excellent and easy to remember, those buyers that think it's bad can keep their money.
There is no reason at all to be considered bad (either from numerology or real life) other than to domain resellers .
Even at the beginning, do you know that 00 is the international prefix in Europe?

 

[artstar]

I like zeros and have lots of 5n dot co with them besides they were the last decent ones with good sequences available when I started regging during NC sale.

Not sure where the zero issue got started as i said prior but its a number that has allot of use in any country and domains!

Zero can also mean infinite ...

 

[FX]

088850.com just sold for $888 sedo OMG it had two zeros ..lol

anyone looking to sell there N domains with 0 cheap drop me a pm

FX

 

[artstar]

Like I said in prior post I like zeros .

Zero also can mean completion.

I have one 5n dot co with 4:

00080.co
