Short domain names
« on: August 06, 2008, 12:30:44 AM »
Apart from having a much sought-after acronym, and using it for a shortening URL or URL redirection service, what is the use of having a short domain name?

If you had a short domain name, what would be a good use for it that it would be better than having a longer, more descriptive domain?

Some ideas I thought of:
Hosting
Image hosting
File hosting


I really can't think of much more... so why the fuss over short domains?
(I'm talking about 4-5 letter/number domains here, we all know 3 letter ones are worth gold ;))

If you have hosting a shorter domain name is more appealing since it will be used for making sub domains and people don't seem to like mysite.hostingcompanisname.com/net they rather have mysite.abc.com/net
