// My question is getting more and more specific. Thanks to all of you for your comments and suggestions.

Dear All,

wordA and wordB are technical words with 500,000 keyword searches per month.

Which is a better domain to host my site? I have following options listed with each one's pros and cons.

(1) VCVC.net


+ only 4 letters.
+ first V=online/on ...etc. Remaining CVC exact abbreviation of keywords
+ pronunciable
+ brandable
+ easy to remember

- .net and not .com
- .com redirects to some chinese tourist site not related


(2) wordAwordBCenter.com

+ has exact keywords
+ easy to remember
+ .com .net .org all available

- long (21-22 characters)
- not brandable
- center / centre spell confusion?


(3) wordAwordB.in

+ exact keywords
+ easy to remember

- not.com country level .in
- target customers are global


(4) wordA-wordB.net

+ exact keywords
+ easy to remember

- hyphen
- not.com
- hyphenated wordA-wordB.com for sale expensive


Is it better to develop brandable 4 letter VCVC dot NET?
Or go for exact keywords?

Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

PS: wordAwordB.com is on sale for $15,000, wordAwordB.net for $7000, wordA-wordB.com for $270 on goDaddy.

I'd buy WordA-WordB.com for $270, maybe make an offer. It sounds like a bargain. That contains your keywords in the right order and the - won't hurt you. The search engines will treat WordAWordB.com and WordA-WordB.com, pretty much the same, except for the content. It will kill your type-in visitors, but then so would anything else.

I could not find any such domain on GD matching even 2 of those 3 conditions.

@ -NC- - Word is only a substitute for the real word, unless you have psychic abilities which are beyond me :)

Not psychic. I'll show my working this time:

Search for domains on godaddy with a price between $269-$271 and extension of .com
Scan the results for domains containing 1 hyphen.
Collate all those domains.
Remove the hyphens and then for each domain search for the .net version with a price between $6999 and $7001

I guess the hyphen domain is not on godaddy but has come from one of the network feeds. Or OP has bought it as per your suggestion.

Not psychic? Then devious :)

I feel you can find a better domain name to support your brand. If you initiate SEO you will be able to fill the void of not having the keywords in your domain name.
