NNN and NNNN

How valuable are NNN and NNNN?

NNN are easily the most valuable group of domains (other than prime dictionary words of course) in any TLD that doesn't allow 1 and 2-letter domains.

Random NNNN's are valuable only in TLDs where all possible combinations have been registered for some time, such as .com and possibly .mobi in the medium term.

There is a lot more that can be said on this topic, I'm sure many other people can give you a lot more detail.

Among many other reasons, it's great if you are say a Japanese or Korean business and want to make it easy for your international customers to find you. That's why it's very popular in Asia.

Very long topic again, feel free to let me know if you need a detailed exposition.

From a psychological point of view (and thus business point of view) people remember groups of numbers much more easily than they do letters. This is of course helped by the fact that there are fewer numbers than there are letters.

Also as pointed out in a previous post 'internationalism' of numbers is far greater than that of any given alphabet, and of course numbers are the same language '10' is '10' in English, French, Spanish, German, etc., etc., and yet although all these languages use the same alphabet words for the same object can be different in each of them.

Now NN and NNN domains are valuable because they constitute an easily recognised and remembered domain address, indeed certain numbers have an associated value because of perceived luck, etc..

NNNN domain names have really ridden on the back of the value of NN and NNN domain names, although a four digit number is readily memorable to all mature humans. The problem comes with larger numbers just the same as with long words, people do not remember them so easily.

Hope this simplified explanation helps.

Oh ok.

in some languages, it is easier to tell someone your names by the NNN numbers.

Fascinating! Are there examples that we English speakers can understand perhaps?
