3 and 4 Letter or Number Domain Names

image

LLLL or NNNN domain name values
We hope over time to clearly define, track, and resolve what is true, hype, false and possible in the domain name investment business because as we write today we read and see a lot of thoughts, misunderstandings and maybe a little hopeful thinking when it comes to the shape that a domain name can take on.

We are excited to be able to share what is becoming all of the current rage about being the owner of a 3 or 4 letter or number or combined both letter and number combination domain names.

Letter and Number Domain Name Terminology
The “L” in this article reflects being a letter and the “N” reflects a number. If you see a single or multiple “L” with a “N” this means that the domain name is made of letters and numbers within the same domain name. For an example of a letter and number combination domain name we have selected one of our own being 0vl.com from our portfolio of domain names here Domain Name Portfolio showing the “0” as a number and the “v” and the ‘l’ as letters so we would see this as “NLL.com” because when we are on domain name forums or webmaster forums discussing the letter and number domain names that are for sale or have been sold these L’s and N’s are what they use.

Next we are discussing generic 3 letter or number or any combination of that are .com’s only as well these names and or number combinations do not spell anything like IBM.com or Iraq.com or 1800.com or even 123.com but rather just your basic letter and number domain names like 12re.com rrht.com or 0vl.com.

Domain Name Availability
We realize that readers might not be aware of the types of .com domain names that have been purchased already and are in the hands of a third party today where as you could usually just go and buy a domain name from a register for the average 9.95 dollars each.

This means that to acquire a domain name that is taken you will either find it on one of the domain name broker sites listed for sell or you are going to need to contact the domain name you are seeking on your or hire a company like ViperNames.com at their Domain Name Assistance web site Domain Name Experts to do this for you.

Domain Name combinations that are no longer available
The .com domain names that are completely taken are any letters, numbers or combinations are listed here:
Any one charactor L or N.com
Any two charactor LN.com
Any three charactor LNL.com
Any four charactor LNLN.com
Any five charactor LNLNL.com
Even any six charactor domains are almost all taken today or will be in the near future at least for the 6 NNNNNN.com and the 6 LLLLLL.com combinations.
Any single word names are taken.
Most all two word combinations are taken but please note that the two word domain names that make sense and have value are all taken in fact all three word domain names that make sense when put together are all taken as well and these are known as keyword combinations such as one we own “ManagedWebSiteHosting.com” is a good example of and average three keyword domain name.

3 and 4 Character Domain Name Sells
We monitor through the greatest domain name industry sales reporting agency DNJournal.com and from time to time they will show a sell of a 3 or 4 letter and or number domain name like they are reporting this week the domain name R8R.com sold for 2550.00 dollars here Domain Name Sales DNJOURNAL.com but we all need to realize that the rare sale of a 3 or 4 digit domain name is just that it is that a person either needed it so they sought the name out from its owner or they got into a bidding ware on a dropped domain name auction list.

Logic belongs and has a membership in the three top domain name drop companies POOL.com, ENOM.com and SNAPNAMES.com and they all offer the same list of daily dropped domain names however you would need to enter the names you are wanting into all three of these to guarantee that you are going to be in the bidding that follows 3 days after the list of names are tied up with a minimum deposit from the bidding firm which ViperNames.com is one of.

Domain Name Broker web sites
We went online and visited one of the more popular after market domain name selling web sites being SEDO.com and researched 3 and 4 character domain names and wanted to touch on the pricing of these names and you might like to visit this selling site here Domain Name Buyers and Sellers

The problem with SEDO.com in our opinion is a seller is not obligated to sell the name they post so what we have had happen and what happens a lot at SEDO is the person lists a name they own then when the price is the minimum they are asking they just do not sell the name. So the site is used to see what a domain name owner can get without the obligation to sale the name.

These broker sites sell and buy names for individuals and the concept is great for buyers and for sellers because we have utilized SEDO in the past to buy domain names and it is a safe way to do transactions because you buy a name and you put the money into and account then once the name and the money is with SEDO the transaction is completed safely.

We went onto the SEDO site to view the current bidding for generic 3 and 4 charactor domain names and we see that names with 3 letters are offered for a few 150.00 to 4000.00 dollars and 3 letters and number combinations are offered for around 3 and 400.00 dollars and with 4 letters is offered around 100.00 dollars to 1700.00 dollars and 4 letter and number combinations are around the same 100.00 dollars. These are just some rough pricing bids that we observed and like with any name sells it is all up to the buyer to offer enough to actually close the sale so we just wanted to provide a little insight into some pricing for this article.

3 and 4 charactor monetary conclusion
If we are honest about this rage to own any 3 or 4 charactor domain names we first need to realize several facts about these domain names and the hype behind them. Look at the possible combinations of 3 and 4 letters that are possible and then the add the amount of combinations that using 3 or 4 letter and number combinations and we can safely conclude there are more domain names in just these two domain name charactor combinations then there are sites on the Internet today.

So there is no wonder that there is more buyer/seller hype behind these domain names then demand for them. There would need to be a masive site build out of these names in order to add quality and real value otherwise they are just like having a really great 800 number but not having the line connected because it is just a great 800 number with no current use.

Next we also have to contribute to this article our traditional statement that we have not been able to find a single generic 3 or 4 charactor domain name that is popular and well known when doing searches on the search engines and this needs to happen in order to truly verify the actual value besides the obvious value these names do have in that they in most cases are easy to remember because they are short domain names.
