Domains with Hyphen ( - ) will rise

i wanna make it simple :

Soccer is the biggest Business in the World
The German Bundesliga ( German Soccer League ) is one of the most popular League in the World

The Advertising boards shows more and more Website with Hyphens
These Companies pay a lot of Money to advertise there


Examples :

H-Hotels.com

Some Domains with Hyphens make sense ( specially when these are 2 or 3 word Domains )

Here are mine :

3d-holoportation.com
3d-teleportation.com

business-setup-uae.com
business-setup-doha.com

business-setup-qatar.com
business-startup-doha.com

business-startup-qatar.com
business-startup-dubai.com

business-startup-uae.com



What is a Hyphen ?


The hyphen (‐) is a punctuation mark used to join words and to separate syllables of a single word. The use of hyphens is called hyphenation. The hyphen should not be confused with dashes (‒, –, —, ―), which are longer and have different uses, or with the minus sign (−), which is also longer in some contexts.
As an orthographic concept, the hyphen is a single entity. In terms of character encoding and display, that entity is represented by any of several characters and glyphs (including hard hyphens, soft or optional hyphens, and nonbreaking hyphens), depending on the context of use (discussed below).
Although, as mentioned above, hyphens are not to be confused with en dashes and minus signs, there are some overlaps in usage (in which either a hyphen or an en dash may be acceptable, depending on user preference; discussed below) and in character encoding (which often uses the same character, called a "hyphen-minus", to represent both the hyphen and minus sign entities; discussed below).

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
The English Premier League has FAR more global viewers than the German league, and out of the thousands of matches I've watched, I've never seen a hyphenated domain shown on an advertising board.

The popularity of hyphenated domains in Germany is nothing new. These ads have been on display for many years with no effect on the rest of the world. Why would it start now?

I'm not German. I like hyphenated domains. Am I the only non-German in the world that likes hyphenated domains? nope!.... Domainers often forget that when you take away the smoke and mirrors and all the blah blah blah... the bottom line is that you are selling a domain to another human being. So if this non-German human being likes hyphens, I assure you there are plenty of other non-German human beings who feel the same way. Are we the mainstream, no not at all. This does not mean the market does not exist.... Tongue piercings and nipple rings and all of that are not mainstream either does this mean the market does not exist? Off course not...

Also from a Internet Marketing and SEO perspective, we all know that Google ignores the hyphen so the Google spiders will read MY-HYPHENATED-domain.com as MyHypenatedDomain.com so hyphenated domains do have considerable SEO value. Also, with many domain names the hyphen also makes it look better aesthetically and can sometimes prevent a domain from being read incorrectly or looking convoluted, for example: PENISLAND.COM (PenisLand??) to avoid people reading it like that you could simply add a hyphen Pen-Island.com

Nice.
I think if the hyphen is positioned in the right place it would look natural, logical and easy to type too.
Indeed the hyphen was and still around for many years. It makes long domain names easier to read and understand and more choices for domains in terms of name availability.

It may rise, but I don't think it will be more than 15-20%.
My favourite hyphened domain I own: face-swap.com

God-Tube.com..........regged during my first week domaining :(

Btw, the sad face is because I did not know about hyphens when I regged it. I also did not know that God Tube is trademarked.

I do like the words and idea of the domain. God is good

I usually stay away from Hyphens. But I met a successful photographer recently and got his business card and to my surprise he was using an hyphen in his business name(on his business card). His friend knew I was in domaining and was looking for me to school him. I really just felt like asking him he he wanted the name without the dash; i would try and get it for him. But He intentionally choose the name with the dash. He preferred a dash basically. So dash domains are not worthless.
