a short domain

I like relatively short domains. They are so much easier for people to remember. If the domain name is short and easy enough you can verbally give it to someone and they will be able to remember.

Yeah, that's true. However, the only setback is that most domains name which are short particular to certain keywords, most probably has been taken up. If would be great to have a shorter one rather than very long names which can be hard to remember.

Ya thats true. Even i preffer to have short domain names. You should be lucky enough to find one which you desired.

Basically the shorter the domain the more widely its accepted. The best example woulf be the 3char domains. Its almost imposible to find any 3char dot coms. And not to speak about their prices. They just get you good bucks if you intend to sell one.

Yeah, maybe you can find 3 characters domain name but most probably they don't have any meaning. 3 characters domain name should be very rare because basically the shortest character allowed in a domain name is 3 and all alphabet combination could have be bought out by now.

Ya its actually meaningless but if you make a phrase or any other wordings it proves to be the best.

Might be thats the reason hy they are so important. Any one can write a name or a phrase over the three char and use it as he wants.

But some are actually after some cars name or cars model no ect. Mnny such possibilities

Hmmm....Can you guys think of interesting or successful websites having a 3 character name? I can't think of one. The shortest which I know and most popular is ebay.com

I like to have one. Maybe for my directory project. I like to have one directory site with short domain. Hope i can do that in this year.

Hrmm yeah, i think so too. Kind of sucks how most short domains are disappearing now though!

Well I suppose all of them have been snapped up by individual who has cash and think that it's a good investment to buy short domain names. Who knows what's the value in years to come.

f2s.com is a biggen uk2.com ada.co.uk (think thats still there)

All big companies doing well off their 3 letter / number :P.

In another thread it said lll.com, now people say "what can you make from that" Ive got a name for it:

lll.com - Legions of Llama lord .com :P

Now that would be a good site

I see. I also really like to make short domain one day. Hope i can make one even i know its really hard to think which one the word you want to choose for that short domain..

Yeah, I think in terms of promotion and marketing, it will be easier for people to remember short domain names.
