discuss What makes for a good brandable domain ? Showcase your brandables here

[oldtimer]

With thousands of startups needing a name for their new company and many more existing businesses also branching out all the time and needing names for their new line of products and services it seems that brandable domains is one of the areas that could be very beneficial to domainers both old and new and deserves to be explored further.

Below are a few points of discussion to get this thread started, if I have left something important out please let me know so that it can be added to them. If you have any tips or advice about brandable domains please feel free to share them with the rest of us.


1-What is a brandable domain.

2-How many different types of brandable domains are there and is one type better than the others.

3-What makes a brandable domain stand out amongst thousands of others.

4-What is the optimum length for a brandable domain, how long can a brandable domain be and still qualify as being a good choice.

5-What types of brandable domains are most desired by startups and existing businesses.

6-What is the best way to find brandable domains.

7-What is the best way to sell brandable domains.


Attention Newbies: It's probably best to first hear what some of the more experienced domainers have to say about this subject before you consider getting any domains, and even then it's probably best to experiment with just a few domains at a time. You should be able to sell one domain and then use the proceeds from that sale to get more domains, if you cannot even sell one domain then you are doing something wrong and need to adjust your strategy. IMO

Most good brand names also loosly describe the nature of the brand ie NetFlix, LinkedIn, StumbleUpon.

Seeing as "Jack" is associated with theft (carjacking, hijack etc) I wouldn't rate JackYo very high in terms of brandability.

I think it's the "Yo" that makes me think slang, probably just watched Boys n the hood to many times when i was younger!

What sector would you say JackYo would be best suited?

JackYo.com Hosting History: 54 changes on 24 unique name servers over 10 years. Seems to suggest it's not such a brandable domain name.

[gary-glen]

I don't know, people! Sure, some of you have great domain names, yet the brandable market is sending many domain investors down the wrong road. It reminds me of the 4L collapse, yet worse. We at least had a finalized number for 4 L's. Brandables are infinite
