Chinese Premium Domains – A Coincidental Attempt to Further Boost the .Com’s Reigns.

 

All things are working for good - is a biblical phrase. This same particular phrase is recently proving to be truth in domain name industry. My curiosities as to the way things are happening in the domain industry, these days, are impressive and very interesting and worth writing about. 

The ongoing release of hundreds of new domain extensions by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is purposely acted, in order to reduce the high concentrations of demands on the generic top level domain extensions; especially, on the .com, and to provide more rooms for people to access the internet via another alternative extensions.

But to my surprise in the recent time, we can clearly see the emergence of the Chinese premium domains as a very strong boost on .com extension.

 I am saying these, for real, because about 90% of Chinese premium domains are found with this king of extensions, and it does not give any room for any other extensions to dominate in the ongoing trend, nor any of the new extensions could come closer to it. 

Once again in 2015, this is the repetition of what has happened at the inception of internet, in the early 70s when .com began its reign, until today. And that is why I mentioned in one of my past articles that we are in a - New Done of Domain Industry. Though, there are other generics and country codes like .net, .cc and .top which are likely to share little out of the success of the Chinese premium names, but unlike the huge attentions and focus people are given to .com.

The Chinese domain name investors themselves are not even seems to cherish their own country code .cn or .com.cn; but of course, I can understand and reason with them, for fear of loss of money as that would be amounted to careless business attitude. 

However, at this juncture, I wish to resfrain for anyone to contribute

Chinese Premium Domain Name, Is It Not Too Late to Get the Good Ones?

In the middle of this year precisely in June, 2015 the spikes on four letters (LLLL.com) and four digit/ Numbers (NNNN.com) began and now in October the increase of the projection of the spike is going too fast for low cash capital investors to get the good ones. 

Can we say again, like the common saying of the experienced domain investors as they usually say - It is too late to get the good .com domains. 

I have just observed that if care is not taken, by the end of this year, God knows, the Chinese domain investors could have bought all available premium domains in the aftermarkets and also register all of those low hand reach fruits could have completely be harvested by the fast ones among them and possibly, those non Chinese who understood the logic behind the trend could join them and possibly leave the fruit on the high trees where hands cannot easily reach for harvest.

Surprisingly, can you imagine that domain investors are even in the recent time scrambling for 5 to 9 letters and 4 to 9 numeric are now on fast tracks of investors, though, one can still get the good ones among these types of domain names on .com.  I am also surprised to read about some Chinese investors on namepros.com that bought 30,000 domains on .net extension and another Chinese investor Mr. Xie registered new 33,000 premium six digits NNNNNN.coms premium domains in just two days on 13^th and 14^th of September, 2015

Another surprise is that it has got to the stage where investors are buying 3 letters from corporate end users with the hope of reselling.

The battle is getting tough and tougher on daily basis and the rich are getting richer in domain investment business. But above all, there is one impression I would love to put aright and that is to give courage to the startup investors to believe that it is never too late to get into this business. Provided one can do a lot of research and diligence in order to know where to cut corners. 

4 ways to Cut Corners in Premium Domain Investment:

i.         First and foremost, there is the need to learn the tricks and understand all about what   makes up the Western and Chinese Premium domains.

ii.      Be ready to take a sensible risk of purchasing when due diligent are being made.

iii.       Study a new market and watch when to purchase before the market gets ripped; but that could tie down your money, but however, there is hope of making money ahead.

iv.     Buy premium domains when you can still afford to buy them within your available capital or profits.

What Are Premium Chinese Domain Name?

A brief note collected from Giuseppe Grazino – in his comprehensive starter Guide posted on October 6^th 2015. And another comprehensive post and review about someone who purchased 30,000 Chinese premium domains on .net extension, by Shane Cultura In his website.

Chinese premium are in two ways; either numeric or letters, they also come in several typical patterns. 

The Chinese premium are combinations of those alphabets excluding vowels i.e. A, E, I, O, U and letter V because letter V is not available in Chinese syllables, also, stay away from double 00 and 4 in case of numerics.

You can have them registered in either .com or .net – It is very rear to get a new one for hand registration in four characters .com, but there are less than 150,000 of .net left for registration as of today. You can register your domains also in other ccTLD extensions, especially .cc which is among the hottest country codes, I am sure of.  The new extension .top is also a good one for registration.

Chinese Premium Domain Patterns:

There are several patterns of the domain names - they are:

1 AAAA (eg pppp.com)

2. ABAB (koko.com or cmcm.com)

3. AAAB or BAAA, ABBA (eg. bbbr.com prrr.com, prrp.com)

4. AABA, ABAA (eg. ggrg.com, rdrr.com)

These patterns can be applied to other more numbers such as 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and more I have seen somebody who registered 12 digits.

But however, remember that - one major logic in domain name is, the shorter the combinations the better and so it will be liquid-able.

If anyone can still do a much tensed searching, it may be possibly to still find some mixed characters pattern such as listed above i.e. NNLL or LLNN, NLNL or either way.

Chinese Premium Domain Name Trend, A New Done for Domain Name Industry.

No doubt about the facts that the ongoing talk of the town in the domain industry is the Chinese Premium Domain Name Trend and it looks like it is a new done for Domain Name Industry.

It  all began in the early 60s to late 70s, when there were only two heavy computers connected together with cable as a means of communication from one user to the other user sitting in front of each of the two computer systems. That was the genesis of email sending on internet; it was done via electronic cords connected from one system to the other like a Child's play.  After that, they realized the need for computer engineers and programmers to find a more sophisticated and higher technology means that could enable them send emails and files to other next or far computers that were not in their vicinity without any cable connections. 

The first time ever was in 1969, a network of more computers without any cord were connected by the US Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) was contracted to handle the project in which they were able to send and received emails from more and far computers; though, the systems were made to transfer information via IP (Internet Protocol) and not via readable email address like what we recently recognized as email via domain name.

Shortly after that in late 1969, sending of emails on domain name and other files were been sent on the ARPAnet network of 62 computers that were connected and.

Finally in early 80’s, another advanced protocol was proposed and led; a team of two Americans Paul V. Mockapetris a computer scientists and another internet pioneer Jon Postel, both of them successfully  breakthrough from ARPANET initiative, when they made a more sophisticated system, in which Domain Name System (DNS) was invented; a type of protocol that enable sending of emails via domain names and makes it easy for everyone to recognize the sender of every message through domain names, rather than the IP address that were used in the previous protocol. And up till today, the system of sending emails through domain names remains valid and highly accepted till today.

 Domain Name's New Done:

 Meanwhile in the 20^th century, to be precised from year 2013, the ICANN began rolling out more new domain name extensions for internet users, to provide more rooms for startups to access internet and also for them to bring their various businesses online; as it was observed that there were shortages of generic domain names in the market for thousands of these startups. While that is still in progress, another serious and trendy spikes suddenly initiated by the Chinese domain name investors, the momentum that is making things looks different, and no one seem to know when the trend could end, as it is not visible to anyone.

However, with the looks on the ongoing trend and based on many facts as stated below; it seems the trend is going to be a continuous one. However, the following backgrounds are my major reasons behind my conclusion and in addition to the principle of demand and supply  which is also accounting for the ongoing trend:

Here Are The Impulses Behind the Chinese Premium Domains Trend:

1. Their population factor; Chinese population is one seventh of the entire world population and

2. Their level of internet users are high and playing the vital role in the ongoing drive in their  chosen markets, including domain name investment, means a lot to the other world markets.

The World Population as at October 10, 2015: World Populations:7,372,969,317

Chinese Population: 1,404,354,046  (21.97% of the entire world)

World Internet Users:

The World:  2014 = 2,925,349,355 and i
n 2015 to date= 3,223,031,400,

The Chinese Internet users: in 2014 = 641,601,070 and that is 25.55% of the total world Internet usages.

  3. There is another strong factor as published on news week of on the 22nd of July, 2015, that China is eagerly ready to invest $6.4 trillion in assets to $20 trillion by 2020 of cash everywhere abroad; they are very ready to spend huge sum of money to buy so many properties that could improve their economy back home.

This is happening as a result of falling in their stocks and domestic real estate market and in order for them to replenish their economy; their government is willing to ease the stringent restrictions that they have seen as the medium of problem for their economy.

Domain name is one of their targeted properties, though, domain name is not seen as a foreign property, on which they are now investing with the believe that, when they buy cheap and kept for sometime could be profitable when they are selling, it has got so high that - can you imagine that they are even buying what they considered as premium domains from end users for resale.

Residential properties amounting to 16 percent were being purchased in United States by the Chinese investors and they just began.  

In our next episode, we shall write on the types of  Chinese Premium Domain Names on which they are investing.
