There are a lot more L-L-L.com's developed than I thought at first. It doesn't matter if most domainers hate the dash, end users and businesses are using these types of names for sites.

Other countries and languages use Q, K, Z, X etc. a lot more than english speakers, so an LLLL.com with crappy letters could be a good domain in some parts of the world. The problem is if you don't know what you're doing, you have to buy a whole bunch and hope to get a few good ones.

What does a business with a three letter acronym do if they want a short domain but can't afford their LLL.com? BNA company might want B-N-A.com for example.

There are only 17.5K possible L-L-L.com combinations, and 457.0 K possible LLLL.com. In other words, the ratio is 1:26. And I'd bet there are more three letter acronyms than 4 letter acronyms. So to me, L-L-L.com has potentially greater demand and also less supply. Ofcourse, pronouncable LLLL and nice letters LLLL are also good, but those were gone long ago.

In ten years time, both classes of domains will probably be in high demand. Look how LLL.com perception has changed in only 5 years.


Couldnt agree with you more hugegrowth... the other thing is... the countries that use "Q, K, Z, X " are almost all in emerging markets which are expanding exponentially as it pertains to internet usage. I came a little early before the full CVCV.com and VCVC.com rush without completely believing in them and here am I today so happy I took that chance. One does not have to believe in something to profit from it, think religion lol. I didn't like L-L-L.coms neither but entered that arena as well. Its all calculated risk when you look at the numbers.

agree 100%..its a really small risk to take with a potentially big reward in 5 years..hell..let it be 10 years..if a L-L-L.com is worth 500 bucks then it was still a great deal to buy a couple of hundreds of them or so right now.., it will be interesting how N-N-N.coms will do compared to L-L-L.coms

1-8-0.com drops on 7th November i think at snap

Great number and dont think 'Darts' is big in US, but big in UK & Europe & in particular the Netherlands. They are mad for it & have some great players.
180 is synonymous most with Darts imo & be interesting to see if that heats up, or is sold on in time.

Obviously has many other applications.

180.com is quite fun. lol

Yep, we're now at 0.2% available lol!

Pretty fun to watch - I've only been into domains since the start of this year, hence this is the first proper buyout I've seen :) I've got 90 LLLL.coms (ranging from all premium letters, to pretty poor ones ;)), hence it'll be fun to monitor how things go.

LLLL.coms are (currently) the most-afforable shortest domains and may skyrocket in value, should new devices or applications come along that would best be accessed by short domains. As others have mentioned, people in non-US countries may also like the "odd" letters (X,Q,Z,Y, etc), and many of those people may not yet be online. It's kind of like "real" real estate, where, once Main Street starts to develop, the surrounding property starts to go.

Hey everyone, I have been following the last few hours of the LLLL.com domain countdown. If you didn't know, today is the day that the last of the names get taken... my latest reported update as of the time of this post is around 400 available to register.

This is a historic event for the domain industry. Will 4 Letter names spike in value or flop and start expiring? Will five letter brandables (LLLLL.com) become the new trend of must have names?


I would love to get your feedback and help reporting on the aftermath of this event. I may post it in my article with your permission. :) Cheers!

These comments I found elsewhere were quite good I think:

what is most likely is that:
1. anything dropped will be snapped up.
2. consolidators will step in at $10, $12 and $15 to purchase anything.
3. new market entrants will move in.
4. quality sales will float everything.
5. if the default price reaches $20 within 1 year, £30 within 2 years, then the hoovering will motor along as the renew price is covered.



any sale in ebay will fetch $15 to $20 minimum after all 4 letters gone.
