5 Letter Domains for a Brand | Five Letter Brand Names
Brandings loves 5 letter domains and we’re not alone. We found some independent information about why others love five letter domains as well.
5 Letter Domain Names
Brandings believes in the power of the five letter domain name. For anyone that reads our blog or articles on our site you’ll know that we love them and we’ve been promoting them for some time.
In addition to just loving the 5 letter domains we love “brandable” names or ones that have no specific meaning although some of them have roots in Latin or Greek. We love the “brandable” names because they are just waiting for a creative person to put their stamp on it. They are also usually easier to trademark when the time comes to it.
Now when you put the 5 letter domains that are available with the “brandable” you have our most favorite domains of all but, you don’t have to take our word for it! Recently I came across this article at Domain Shane where they talk about how Twing.com sold for $11,600.
Here’s a snippet of the article, to read the entire thing just click on the link below:

Twing.com Sells for $11,600: Quality Short Names Still Increasing in Value
By ShaneCultra | Sep 3, 2011
You’ve heard me preach the value of a quality 5 letter dot com for years. The market has really heated up this year with names now consistently reaching into the four figures. A deleting name Twing.com hit $11,600 at Namejet.
I was willing to even pay $3-5K for the name but bidding soared past the number. This has been the case for many short, “brandable” type names at auction or drop over the last few months. Five letter, six letter names that have that startup or app sound have flourished. Dobble.com hit $467, Skeech.com went for $200, Labl.com brought $2900. The names ending in “ly” (not the TLD) have done well with names like firstly.com, which hit $560.
The next question I always get is, “how do you pick out the names that are going to do well?” My answer is vague. You just have to have that feeling of what types of names the startup or app people are looking for. The names ending in “ly” or dropped vowels (like label) continue to do well. They almost always can be looked at and pronounced properly. If you have to tell them how to pronounce it, the value automatically drops.
Now to see our available 5 letter domain names please just follow the link. I hate to toot our own horn but as the article notes the desirability of 5 letter domains ending “ly” we have quite a few of them.
