Domain name investment has evolved over decades, and through continuous development and refinement, different trading rules and investment categories have emerged. Below, we'll discuss the five main types of domain name investment: numeric domain names, alphabetic domain names, mixed domain names, shoulder pole domain names, and pinyin domain names.
1. Numeric Domain Names
Numeric domain names are composed entirely of the ten digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. In China, different numeric combinations have led to different names.
Leopard Domain Names: Numeric domain names composed of three or more identical digits. For example, 888, 8886, and 6888. 888 is also known as a pure leopard, 8886 is the head of the leopard, and 6888 is the tail of the leopard.
Straight Domain Names: Numeric domain names composed of three or more consecutive digits. For example, 123, 1234, and 4321. 123 and 1234 are also known as a straight, while 4321 is a reverse straight.
2. Alphabetic Domain Names
Alphabetic domain names are domain names composed entirely of the 26 English letters. They are categorized as alphabetic domain names, phonetic domain names, word domain names, and pole domain names.
Alphabetic domain names are further categorized as initial consonant domain names, which are domain names consisting of letters excluding a, e, i, o, u, and v. Depending on the number of initial consonants, they are categorized as three-, four-, and five-consonant domain names, and so on.
Pinyin domain names are alphabetic domain names composed of Chinese phonetic symbols, and are categorized as natural spelling and creative spelling. Depending on the number of pinyin characters, they are categorized as double, triple, and quadruple spelling.
Word domain names are alphabetic domain names composed of English letters, and are categorized as natural spelling and abbreviated spelling.
3. Hybrid Domain Names
Hybrid domain names typically refer to domain names that combine numbers and letters. Depending on the number of characters, they are categorized as two-, three-, and four-letter domain names, and so on.
4. "Bearing Pole" Domain Names
According to common domain name registration rules, the hyphen "-" in English can also contain characters. It is usually used between numbers, between numbers and letters, or between letters. These domain names, resembling a carrying pole, are also called "Bearing Pole" domain names.
5. Pinyin Domain Names
Pinyin domain names use the pinyin of Chinese characters as the prefix for the domain name. The advantage is that users can immediately understand the meaning of the domain name and thus the content of the website. Search engines are also very friendly to Pinyin domain names, and Pinyin domain names have a high weight in keyword rankings. Currently registered Pinyin domain names mainly include single, double, and triple pinyin domain names. These domain names have relatively large terminal domain names, so the prices vary greatly. Some can only sell for tens or hundreds of dollars, while others can sell for tens or even millions, depending on the meaning.
