Official 1800/1888 Vanity Domain Names Thread

[.tv]

Hello,

This is the official 1800/1888 Vanity Domain Names thread.

If you have any 1800<keyword> or 1888<keyword> domain names, please share with us.

I am starting with:

1800MortgageRefinancing ,com

1800election ,com

1800realestateagency ,com

:hi:

I really like 800 domains ... IF they have the actual matching telephone numbers (and preferably not longer than 8 or 9 characters - as only 7 are required for the number), IMHO. An random example might be 1800CoolDay.com / 800CoolDay.com (with the actual, workable toll-free tel. number of 1.800.266.5329). :talk:
Of course, seven-lettered pure GENERIC terms useful for an 800 service - with the same matching toll-free numbers - would warrant a higher premium, in my experience. :gl:
Best of Luck.

I have

1800cabins,com

 

[Jeff]

1800cabins,com

^ This is a problematic domain name ... for the reasons I stated above, IMHO. :gl:

Best of Luck.

Not surprised, at all, that it was available ... please see reasonings above, IMHO. :gl:

:bah:

At least it has the right (optimal) amount of characters ... do you have the actual matching toll-free tel. number, as well?

It should be noted that these domains are immediately limited to the US market only.

Might be good. Advertising on the Net to get people to ring up sounds a bit arse about face, however, these domains do obviate the need to have two addressing systems in adverts, therefore you can print it bigger.

Of course there aren't going to be any short domains in this Genre. Obligatory 11 characters.

Has anyone ever thought of establishing an alternative Root on 1800?

1800Jeff.com is available!

Nah, but 1800Jeffery might work. You must have the same number of characters as a phone number to make this concept work.

The problem I as I see it is that it is meaningless underless you can nail the equivalent phone number, which is probably where the real value lies.

Some of you guys need to start asking fundamental questions like: Who would want this? Why would they want it? How can they exploit it?

I cannot agree 100% with what you said. There are hundreds of companies holding 1800names without a matching telephone number.

jeff, yeah, the 7 letter one would be optimum for sure, but i have seen a ton of numbers advertised on tv that were not- many were longer by a letter or two, since only the first 7 connect- and i have seen shorter ones, and they added a number or so. its fairly common as i think people had the numbers first, then may look to develop. 1800porn.com is not something i would pass up because it was 4 letters! like everyone else, in the actual number, letters or numbers would be added.
not optimal, but common.
like premium names, the most perfect ones are gone- but i can see a market for them in the future simply due to mobile browsing.
nothing makes more sense to me than to have a website that is a phone number, when you are mobile browsing- and you can work in the phone number in a few ways.
if you have the pure 7 letter with the number, that rocks for sure- but they are harder to come by and i can see the numbers being worked a bit- like 1800allstate.com- always advertised- 8 letters, ect...

 

[Rubber Duck]

You'll be telling me they're generics next.

Like the generic "iReport" ... wait, this isn't the "King" thread ... :red: :yell:

Optimum ... yes ... for those new registrations, and preferably for developments, in this useful toll-free context, correct! :gl:

why would anyone be telling you that

 

[Rubber Duck]

why would anyone be telling you that

Well you are telling me companies would advertise phone numbers they have no control over, which is every bit as absurd.

 

[smashfactory]

no, thats not what i said

+ Canada and the Caribbean

 

[Rubber Duck]

no, thats not what i said

No but .TV said it. Apologies over attribution. But my point stands, the value is only there if you have the phone number to match, and of the two the phone number is clearly worth more.

Unless of course the main play is a TM squat.
