domainZ.com ??

**RegFee** · 04-10-2005, 12:05 PM

I was just wondering what everyone's opinions on domain names with a Z substituted for an S, such as AUCTIONZ.com or FORUMZ.com. I know Z is kind of a bad letter to have in a domain name, but amazon does quite well with it.

Thanks

Z isn't a bad letter if it's in an actual word.

There is no similarity to Amazon and auctionz. Amazon is a word, auctionz isn't. Substituted letters can work, but usually they look unprofessional, although that it is not always the case.

So domainz.us would be worth even less? Would it still be more than reg. fee?

Thanks

if it is domainz.us i think it may worth alittle above the reg fee

but anything else xxxxxz.us depend on how the good the word is

anyway these kind of domains doesn't worth the effort of registering and reselling unless you want to develop it

I run a domain with a z in it, 300 uniques daily, tons of traffic and new signups daily. I recently caught the domain with the s in it. Now that I've got both traffic has increased.

I can only surmise that people hear the name and try the S domain first, then realize/remember it's supposed to be with a Z.

Was it DNgeekz.com?

Thanks for the replies. I'm probably going to register is just to give it a shot. It's only $8.88, and I'm sure I can at least get the reg fee back on ebay.

Also I wouldn't recommend asking on a DNforum if you do get a good idea for a name

someone might snap it up before you get the chance!

Ordinarily, if you have to tell someone how to spell it (it's like domains, but with a Z instead of an S), it is not worth as much as one where the spelling is obvious.

But then, consider how successful Orbitz is. If you put the effort into branding, or if the Z designates a bit of extra zip and verve, then it is fine (but only as a .com)
