So.. What makes a domain name brandable.

Sorry for the noob question!

Short answer: is it short and could it make a nice (pronounceable) brand name ?

Is NextGenTutorials.com brandable?

brandable name means you can TM the word.

If you own KICK.com you can't effectively TM word nor restrict the use of the word "Kick".

However ..... if you own KiKK.com you could "brand" or TM the word "KiKK" because no other
use for the name exists. You have branded the name as yours.

Is NextGenTutorials.com brandable?

I think you would be able to "brand" a name like "NextGen" however the word "Next" and the abbreviation "gen" are common use. G[][]G search Results = 2,370,000 for "nextgen".

So even that term is widely used. "NexGenn" could be branded or TMed with out much issue.

Here is an example of what I mean.

ipTelecom a great brand name but now is widely used ....
ipTelecomm effective and brandable with out reasonable common use expectations.

I suppose that content (web site) hosted under the domain name does. Nothing more. of course if that is new domain name not well established offline brand

I think mostly any domain can be brandable if it is easily memorable and passes the radio test (people tell you the name and you dont need an explanation on spelling.)

NextGenTutorials can easily be branded if you have a good development plan and offer either great content or a unique service OR both.
