3 CHARACTERS : PRICE BASICS

3 characters domain names are one of the most valuable domain investment. Mostly are offered in very high value/price. Why are They getting too expensive? What makes Them more valu- able in today's investment? How could we determine Their average or even lowest price limits?

Here's The answer I could give, based on my knowledge and other website and domain experts references.






Why are These names so expensive ? What makes Them valuable?

- First, They are Shorts [Yes, It only contains 3 characters long]. Easy to remember, catchy and flashy names.

- Second and the most important is : It's RARE! Sure, 3 characters names are only available in very limited numbers [in compare to the total amount of all internet users or domainers].

* 3 Letters are only available in 17576 [a-z= 26, 3L combinations would be 26x26x26 =
17576] around the world and It's all taken! nothing's left for a handreg!

* 3 Numbers are only available in 1000 [0-9= 10, 3N Combinations would be 10x10x10 =
1000] around the world and It''s all taken. Numbers also a lucky thing in some beliefs
[especially to chinese people]. These are the highest value of 3C domain names !

* LNN, NLN, LLN, NNL [L = Letters, N = Numbers] 2N+1L Combinations are only available
in 10x10x26 = 7800! and It's all taken.

* NLL, LNL, LLN [L = Letters, N = Numbers] 2L+1N Combinations are only available in
26x26x10x3 = 20280! and It's all taken.

* L-L are only available in 26x26 = 676 ! and These names are alternative for 2L names or
other TLDs those are not allowing domain registration for under 3 Characters long.

* N-N are only available in 10x10 = 100 ! and These names are alternative for 2L names or
other TLDs those are not allowing domain registration for under 3 Characters long.

- Other reason why some 3C names are more valuable among other 3C domains are :
3Character domains are somewhat unique in that they can be valued somewhat more
accurately due to three very important features, which include [resource : 3characters. com]:

* Their length
* Their character composition
* Their comparable recent sales data

And the specific Value of 3 character names will be explained/shown below :

+ Notes: Why are There are only 3C [N+L combinations] dot coms having good value, but other TLDs are not/RegFees? Because other TLDs 3C are not RARE It means We can even find that They are sometimes available to freshly handreg [dropped or still available in domain registrars].
