[QUOTE="DomainVP, post: 2210933, member: 322706942"] I agree with Charles, having to explain the hyphen to people that expect a domain name to be in the format [ string.extention ] is a mess. In general, think about how they would advertise on the radio... Just go to Cold"HYPHEN"beers.com and get yourself a drink. This would lead to people going to ColdHyphenBeers.com, Cold'beers.com, or Cold_beers.com (yes some people have no idea what a hyphen is). The hyphen is the LAST resort that you want to have to use for a domain name. Right now I am working with a potential buyer who owns a hyphenated name, and I own the non hyphenated name. HOWEVER! I have come across a few six-figure names with hyphens that had metrics to justify a huge price tag even for the hyphen. Typically, avoid hyphens. [/QUOTE]
