The four pillars of value
  • Length — shorter is almost always better.

  • Extension — .com still leads the aftermarket, but premium ccTLDs and new TLDs have carved out real demand.

  • Keywords — exact-match terms with search volume attract end users.

  • Brandability — names that are easy to say, spell, and remember.

No single pillar guarantees a sale, but a domain that scores well on all four is liquid in any market.
