USTV.com
Over the last few years the Internet has changed the way
we do business, listen to music, communicate together
and has practically worked its way into every facet of
our lives. With the popularity of the new LCD TVs and
other HD television peripherals, there has been a major
shift with how people would like to be entertained.
In case you haven’t noticed, the attendance at movie
theaters in the past year has slowed down dramatically.
People nowadays are watching sporting events, playing
online games, chatting, blogging, IPODing, and all other
things indicating the shift of consumer interest to the
Internet, and those taking advantage of this shift, will
be the winners. Yahoo and Google have the plan to
provide movies through your computers online. Apple has
created a frenzy of people anxious to download the
newest music video or television programs to their video
IPOD. The new generation is computer savvy. They prefer
to watch Star Wars movies online, check their email, and
download music all at once, and the only way to do that
is through the Internet.
The future holds that you will be able to use your HD
television to watch movies through the Internet rather
than your satellite or cable provider. It is on demand,
you don’t miss a beat, the quality is as great as it
gets, and the future will provide more and more uses.
Now you can hook up your computer to your TV, using a
monitor which is no longer the 17 inch monitor
introduced five-ten years ago. Recently Sony has
introduced its newer 40 inches and up LCD High
Definition television to be connected to a computer.
For a major company to take over this business and
become the pioneer provider of movies and television
programming on the Internet, they must have the best and
the most prestigious domain name, and here you have it.
There is no doubt that ustv.com is the killer name when
it comes to prestige. It consists of 4 letters. You
cannot misspell it. You cannot forget it and it
indicates that the geographic location for the
entertainment provider is the United States of America
where all of the movies and TVs came from, where
Hollywood is, and where the great actors and studios are
located. The commercial value of this domain name is
tremendous. It is not just a domain name. It is a future
trillion dollar business on the Internet. It is a bigger
money-generator than poker.
1. Top Level Domain ...
The Top Level Domain (TLD) or domain extension (e.g.,
.com, .net, .co.uk, etc.), has considerable influence
upon the value of a domain name. However, not every TLD
suits every term, nor does it suit every market. The
domain name ustv.com is comprised of an English term and
the all-purpose .com TLD. This tends to positively
influence the value of the domain name. The .com TLD has
come to be synonymous with business on the Internet. The
.com extension carries a higher level of prestige and
reduces the risk of traffic diversion to other
extensions. For these reasons, most businesses prefer to
use a .com domain name for their online presence. In
turn, this results in .com domain names having higher
values than domains with other TLDs. The .com domain has
the advantage that it may not only be used in the
English speaking world, but in countries worldwide. This
is particularly relevant in countries which have strict
guidelines for the allocation of country TLDs like
France(.fr) or Norway (.no). The resulting international
shortage of quality .com names leads to prices
considerably higher than for any of the other TLDs.
2. Length
and Retention ...
The
domain name ustv.com is short (4 letters). Our research
has shown that shorter domain names (from 2-7 letters)
tend to be the most valuable, while domain names over 10
letters long are worth slightly less. the value of a
shorter name. At 4 letters, your name is considered to
be of an ideal length, and you should see a positive
impact in the domain s value due to the length factor.
The term is relatively easy to remember. The easiest
domain names to remember tend to be those that consist
of a single real word or a popularly used expression.
Although "ustv" contains meaningful words, it is not a
common expression but instead a somewhat arbitrary
combination of common words, which could make the domain
more difficult to recall.
3.
Linguistic and Phonological Suitability ...
From a
linguistic point of view, the domain name ustv.com is
considered valuable as it is a meaningful two-word
phrase in the English language. Due to a general
interest in these names, they tend to be more valuable
than domain names in other categories.
4. Typing
Error Sensitivity ...
The
domain name ustv.com is resistant to traffic diversion
as it is relatively easy to spell and uses the dominant
.com extension. This has a positive impact on domain
value.
5. Legal Situation ...
Legal
requirements and jurisdiction have a deciding influence
upon the registration and sale of domain names. The
domain name ustv.com can be categorized as a generic or
descriptive name. Because trademarks granted on generic
terms are less restrictive than those granted on unique
terms, generic domain names are generally less
susceptible to ownership disputes arising from a
trademark conflict than are brand able, non-generic
domain names.
6. International Usage
...
Suitability for international usage is an asset for any
domain. This is not a must, but it increases the value
of a domain considerably. Both language and TLD
influence the suitability for international usage. Due
to the .com ending, ustv.com is suitable for
international use. .Com domains are used not only in the
United States, but also in many countries around the
world where usage of the country-TLD is restricted or
uncommon. This ending has a positive effect on the value
of a domain name. The .com TLD has established itself as
a symbol for the Internet and has achieved great
recognition around the world.
7. Search
Engine Friendliness ...
The
appearance of popular search terms in domain names
allows them to achieve higher positioning in search
engine results. Search engine algorithms give higher
placements to domain names which contain the searched
keyword. For example upon entering "ustv" into the
search engine, the results will contain many domains
which have this term. Search engine "methods" vary from
engine to engine. Keyword presence plays an important
role in results for engines like Google, but for example
is not as important with an engine like AltaVista. In
search engines where the domain name has a large
influence on the positioning of the results, the web
sites ustv.com and ustv.co.uk will tend to be positioned
towards the top of results generated for a search of "ustv".
8. Branding and Advertising
Potential ...
Ideally, the domain name is identical to the brand or
company name in purely Internet-based businesses. Thus,
for an Internet-based business, the domain name is
doubly important as it serves both as the company s
brand name as well as the means to locate the company
online. The use of domain names by conventionally
established companies also results in a positive image
transfer to the company and its products, as it implies
the company is on the leading edge of technology. A
strong brand identity (along with other factors, such as
quality of the product on the Internet site itself)
helps in building a successful web site. This applies to
both internet-based businesses and conventionally
established companies. Although opinions vary as to what
makes a good brand name, many experts suggest
considering the memorability of a name, its sound when
pronounced, what qualities the name suggests, its
uniqueness, and how easy it is to spell. In addition, a
brand name in the online world should use a .com
extension, should not contain unnecessary words such as
"online" or website, and should not be hyphenated. Your
domain name has excellent advertising and branding
potential for the following reasons: 1) Short and easy
to spell; 2) Prestigious .com ending; 3) A descriptive
and memorable term that is not entirely generic. For
these reasons, it is definitely possible that either an
existing company or an Internet-Start-Up would be
interested in developing this domain as an online brand.
9. Commerce
Potential ... -
The
domain ustv.com possesses great online commerce
potential. It is most identifiable with an industry that
is well known for its online presence, and can use this
awareness to effectively generate revenue. Thus, the
value of the name benefits significantly by its
compatibility with this sector. As a result, the domain
ustv.com would be a valuable asset for any business
seeking to break into this field. Another key component
to determining the overall commerce potential of a
domain name is the industry associated with the terms it
contains. Some industries lend themselves easier to the
online world than others, and have a reputation for
using the Internet to promote their products and
services. Thus, any domain name that contains similar or
relevant terms known to these industries can benefit
significantly from this association. Your domain is most
identifiable with the Ecommerce industry. This is
clearly an industry that is well known for its online
presence, often uses the Internet to maximize revenue,
and is constantly evolving in the online world. This
domain name has several possible applications with the
marketing and presenting a specific product for sale.
