Hello Logic here.
Happy Saturday to my friends.
Ok taja609.
Short always works for us.
We try to share that in the competive days of the Internet as it has become, and continues to grow requires a broad marketing plan.
The SEO/SEM word yes, that now includes forums and blogs be a part of any successful (to be) start up in our opinion.

So this is why the short and most importantly simple to remember comes into paly for us.
Our favorite domian that is easy to remember and it is short. (2 words always never more)
We also know to realize .com only people type this without anything else automatically.
No Hyphens either. Could you imagine growing your business and having this name:
(Radio Commercial)
Hey come on down and see what we just got in to offer you our loyal community members. If you cannot get to our store we are on the Internet so come vsit us there at I-hyphen-Love-hyphen-To-hyphen-Rock-hyphen-Hunt.com
Our you can hit it big and then go muy the domain name from and owner who if they are start will run the name through their favorite search engine as realize they have a winner to sell or worse sell ad space to all of your competitors to enjoy your TV, Print, and Radio adverising dollars spent because people do not remember to put the hyphens into their typing.


Ok our favorite domian name from our inventory is YoYoFish.com and we are not using it nor do we sell our 10 years of building our portfolio.

Sorry for the longer then needed winded note here but you are asking a light question that needs to be detailed in the explaination.

Have a great weekend,
Logic...

I think that it doesn't really matter. Only for the domain names: they must be memorable.

One of the most important things about a domain name is that it should be easy to remember whether short or long.

i prefer short domains - like three or four letters

you do not have to type so much and the links are very short, so you can fill them in every place (signatures, etc.)

The shorter it is usually the easier it is to remember. Also the less typos a user will make when typing it in.

Short domain is better, but it should have a meaning for your business.
For example, JKS = JKookServ.com

I don't have that 3 letter domain name though...

short domain names for sure;

www.thehouse.com is better than www.the-house.com
(very little difference, but still better )
