brand-ready shape with punchy and natural cadence
Moderate scoring — fine as a portfolio filler if the aftermarket covers cost, not a chase on its own.
Synthesized from the DQS, aftermarket estimate, registration cost, lifecycle stage, and trademark check on this page. Not financial advice — your portfolio strategy overrides.

DQS 53 · .diy · 5ch · brandable
Directional only — a gut-check range, not an appraisal. Uses DQS + TLD + length; doesn’t know about comps, trademarks, or brand context. Treat as “worth looking at” vs “skip,” not a bid price.

shane.diy is a keyword-forward name — "shane" carries intrinsic meaning before any branding layer is added. Short names like this (5 chars) tend to be the sweet spot for SaaS brandability — memorable without hitting the premium-tax of 3-4 letter names. The phonetics are balanced between vowels and consonants — typical for a pronounceable English-style name. .diy is a niche TLD with a narrower buyer pool; the aftermarket here depends heavily on whether the SLD itself carries standalone demand. With zero Wayback coverage, the domain's prior history is effectively a clean slate from a content perspective. At DQS 53, the name sits in the mid band — not an automatic buy, but worth evaluating against a specific use case rather than on its own merits. Redemption-period status means the owner has about 29 days left to reclaim the name. Any outside party can only wait and watch. The keyword component is the honest hook here.
