Hi

it depends on:
whether you're buying the domain to hopefully resell for profit or to develop

also, depends on:
what the actual letters are and the number in the domain or words and numbers.... and if it's .com or another extension.

ie: web3.com would be premium name for "web3" category, but xpe5.com wouldn't have much appeal on reseller market.

in every hypothetical situation, it always depends on the actual domain.

imo..

Is this a domain name for a company?
In general as long as the domain name sounds good when said out loud and passes the "radio test" (easy to spell out correctly by anyone) you should be in the clear.

I guess we cannot really tell if that is good or not because we do not know the purpose of the domain. But generally, as long as it sounds "legitimate" and preferably short it will be good for me.

It should be fine, as long as it is related to the purpose of the site.

That depends on what you're using it for. Punctuation and numbers can be a problem if they make the domain look spammy or make it harder to say out loud, but if it's still pronounceable and brandable one digit might not be a problem.

I found this article about what makes a domain valuable useful

How Much Is My Domain Name Really Worth?

Not knowing how much your domain is worth might mean missing out on an opportunity to sell it. Follow these steps to determine your domain value.

This domain name consisting of 3 letters and 1 number is short, easy to remember and unique, suitable for brand communication, but you need to make sure that the letters and numbers are related to the brand, otherwise it may reduce recognition and user trust. If the domain name is meaningful and not used for bad purposes, it is a good choice; otherwise, it is recommended to choose a more meaningful word or phrase.

Personally, I am not a fan of the mixing of words and numbers in domain names.
For the radio test, it's hard to say that "Royal7" and "RoyalSeven" are the same. But, there are some exceptions like "news24", etc

A 3-letter + number domain can work if it’s easy to remember and brandable, but a pure 3-letter is usually better.

Pretty sure 3-letter, 4-letter and 5-letter brandable domain names are all taken up. Numbers next to a domain name does look strange but I am aligned with Name built comment about the number.

But I think with some content, building audience and it will become brandable, something that people will recognize otherwise, domains with number is worthless in my opinion.

Here we go-- After almost 25 years domaining I've seen a lot and I mean a lot of different names for everything. But to answer your question straight forwardly.... A domain with both letters and a number is not a very good combination that is unless.... you intend on using it for a business name, a brand that you are developing or something similar. When I was a boy we lived in a certain town in California and a company had just built a big development there. My Dad told me about it. The name of this company was very weird for those days in the 70's. The company name was IBM. Was it weird then? Yes of course. Is it weird today? Of course not!

Wow, that's very well said.

Choose a domain name that is short, easy to remember, and reflects your brand or services. Avoid numbers or hyphens and prefer a .com extension if possible.
