zip.codes

zip.codes presents as a brandable — a fabricated or rare-word name that would need positioning to land with a specific audience. At 3 characters it lands in the "very short" bucket, which is where the aftermarket premium lives — sub-5 names in any desirable TLD are scarce and defended. Balanced between vowels and consonants — typical for a pronounceable English-style name. In .codes the valuation compresses toward the commercial value of the SLD itself rather than the TLD premium. The Wayback Machine has no archived snapshots of the domain, suggesting it was parked or lightly used in any prior registrations. At DQS 51, 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. Because the name is still in redemption (day 3 of 30), its future is largely controlled by whether the prior registrant pays the restore fee. Bottom line: evaluate this one against a specific use case you have in mind. Mid-band names don't sell themselves — they sell when the buyer is already looking.
