And what's wrong with DomainNameBargainsCheaper.com or domain-name-bargains-cheaper.com? How would replacing '-' with '.' affect anything? I've noticed an odd thing while draining my spam traps. When I see an advertised domain name that consists of two or concatenated more English words, it's usually Oriental. I don't mean necessarily hosted in Asia but with non-ASCII content. It's as if Oriental spammers are smarter about creating memorable English domain names and avoiding the squatters. > > Using domains will become > > easier. > > Empirical evidence indicates the biggest problem is finding the 1 out of 41M > .com domains and avoiding all the typosquatters... and neither of those has anything to do with the last 4 characters of the name.
