Why do I advise you not to invest in Chinese domain names?
domain editor
In the past few years, Chinese domain name registration was very popular. As a website operator, I often received promotional calls or emails saying that the Chinese domain name in the industry you are engaged in should be registered first, otherwise it will be registered by others and you have to buy it back at a high price. There are many promising Chinese domain names in the future, etc. In the past two years, no one has called to promote Chinese domain names. Of course, just because I didn't receive a call doesn't mean that it didn't happen.
A few days ago, I saw a scam about Chinese domain name. A newbie who didn't know website domain names was fooled into buying more than 40,000 Chinese domain names. For example, fruit.com. Mobile.com. They used the bait of making money by investing in Chinese domain names and said that this scarce resource will have many people buying it in the future. After you pay the fee, someone really calls to ask you to buy it, and at the same time asks you to buy other packages, such as adding a server. This is a common method used by the same group of people.
The above Chinese domain name investment scam is just one aspect. There are other reasons why you are not recommended to invest in Chinese domain names.
1. Search engines do not include it
We know that letter + number domain names are international standards recognized by the world. Search engines have emerged from abroad. Currently, they only include English/number domain names. No search engine will include Chinese domain names, not even Baidu. Our domain name is equivalent to a house number. If it is not included, it is equivalent to "no way". You can't even find the entrance, so there is no point in buying it.
2. Input trouble
The first point mentioned that Chinese domain names are not included in search engines. If you want to find your website, you have to enter Chinese in the browser. Most of the people who can speak Chinese in the world are in China, so there is no international market. Entering Chinese is obviously much more troublesome than letter + number, and China's mobile Internet is developing very fast. Entering Chinese must be on a PC, so there is no way to enter it on a mobile phone.
3. Unrecognizable
A few years ago, when Chinese domain names were popular, we tried to enter Chinese in the browser, and the domain name copied was a long string of code. Because Chinese cannot be recognized, it can only be converted into various alphanumeric symbols through binary. For example, the conversion of fruit.com to a letter domain name is http://xn--gtv25h.com/. Is it worthwhile to register 水果.com when you have this domain name? Isn't this a waste of money? What's more, this domain name is easier to remember than just registering it casually.
The above points are the disadvantages of Chinese domain names. Of course, the real situation is more than the above reasons. In short, it is right not to invest in Chinese domain names, especially for beginners, don't easily believe in Chinese domain name investment.
Alphabet + number domain names are still very promising. If you are interested in digital collections, you can learn more about them.
