If you find a 4 letter .net, available and there is no Z, Y, Q, W, V, J, or X in the string of 4 letters, should it be grabbed immediately? Or are there plenty of them out there ...

Thanks for your opinions.

.net...not likely to be of much value. But still it depends; especially, if it is meaningful or has a great acoustic effect.

Yes but...
ALL three letter .com and .net are not available anymore.
In the year to come expect the same for 4-letter names, regardless if they are meaningful or not.

Of cource, "meaning" is still important. :)

3 letter = 17,576 for each TLD
4 letter = 456,976 for each TLD

I think you can easily find available 4 letter domains in future.

Actually, I loved "readable" 4 letter domains (even .net) once.
I'm not sure how much worth they have at this moment.

Anyway, it seems that most of "readable" 4 letter .com are registered. (Should I take "Jaby.com"?)

Oops. I might still love such domains.
I've just registered "Phot.net" :)

Wrong options....all the 4-letter names were taken in the fall of 2000 and many speculators dropped them in 2001 because they have NO USE. This will most likely NEVER happen again. People have figured out that the chance of selling 4 random letters thrown together in ANY extension is slim to none.

"Z, Y, Q, W, V, J, or X" Why did you pick to exclude these letters?

I like the letters "Z" and "X". Makes the domain stand out I find.

You definitely would never want to use a W in an internet domain name. I can only think of a handful of crappy words that start with W, like:

World Wide Web :)

Try any W?? combination in Google. If you find anything below 5,000 hits (even with numerics), you have a gift.

Maybe you're right.
If we add numerics, then we have 46,656 combinations for three letters.
Actually I modified my original program, adding numbers, and found many available 3 ch. combinations, some interesting.
I'll post findings about this soon.

I really didn't know it. I still think that was a wrong decision.

This will most likely NEVER happen again.

I wouldn't be so sure.
