Can someone put a value to l-ll.com domains for Investment purposes?
Thanks,

l-l-l are a better investment now. However, in the near future, I believe all that may change. With domain registrations currently growing at 20-30 percent a year, all 4 characters will be the next to go. When that happens l-ll may become more valuable than the 5 character l-l-l simply because it only has 4 characters.

l-l-l.com are better than l-ll.com or ll-l.com regardless of whether the 1.7million 4 character domains one day get bought out or not. Some rare exeptions will apply but l-l-l.com are more practical >90% of the time.

Let's look a few months into the future. I predict that all the premium L-LL and LL-L will be registered in February of 2008.

Vurg is right l-l-l are more popular and only time will tell if my prediction comes true. Chances are it won't. Still, for me, I'd rather have a true 4 character domain than a 5 character knockoff of a 3 character domain and I'm thinking someday others will feel the same. I'm not abandoning the 4 character ship yet. For me, I could care less about about which letter is premium in what country, whether numbers or dashes are valuable or not, whether y is a consonant or vowel. I'm just hanging onto the simple fact that less is more and 4 digits is second only to 3. Besides, some of my highest earning parked domains are words like R-ue, inn9, p-ow, etc., I'm earning more on them than most of my random but premium 4 letters. I don't know...maybe my thinking is backwards (or I'm just cheap) but at this point in the game I'd prefer buying something like s-ly for $7 than s-l-y for a few hundred.

PS Back to pricing on this thread. I've made a very rough pricing guide and posted it on the front of my website for people to tear apart. Feel free to PM me with any corrections.

...that is a nice website 4ltr .... http://4ltr.org - News & Info for the domain industry.....
I agree with your sentiments. The fashionistas may be elsewhere but this I think suits those of us still putting together a 4-character portfolio at reg fee.

I think its really natural with a "e" or an "i" (L-LL) almost as good as a 2 letter AND A LOT CHEAPER! but I guess it comes down to preference L-L-L or L-LL or LL-L. I really like L-L-L as well as its neat and tidy and easy to remember/brandable and also a good alternative to a LLL (price wise).

This is the thread I was looking for when I was talkin about E-XX being the closest thing to a 2 letter without the huge cost (all went soon after).

Can this be moved to the short section???
