Top Picks

The TBR listings finally show an increase this week, jumping by just over 170 domains compared to last week, proving that we are definitely in another downward trend. The number of .CA TBR domains for October 24 checks in at 7,477 and when combined with the 6,529, 6,702, and 6,854 entries from the previous three weeks, it gives us a new and higher (by 84) weekly average of 6,890 TBR listings through the prior month.

The overall domain quantity has remained consistent this week, but the quality has dipped slightly. resulting in a wide selection of mediocre LLL, word and multi-word domains. Our Top Picks include several that we feel are premium, including BGB.CA, CYI.CA, SYI.CA, 444.CA, and HENRY.CA.

ADU.ca – Not a premium LLL letter combo, but it’s average and is also a pronounceble and thereby a potential brandable.
BGB.ca – A very good letter combination with a starting and ending “B”, the latter of which could stand for Business, Brand/Brands, Bureau, etc.
CYI.ca – The starting “C” could be used for Canada, while the ending “I” is a key one with Inc., International, Industries/Industrial, etc. as options – the issue is the middle “Y”.
SYI.ca – Similar to the above LLL, the starting “S” and ending “I” (again, for Inc., International, Industries/Industrial, etc.)  are excellent, but that middle “Y” is problematic.
Henry.ca – First-name domains are always popular, as not only do you have the odd company in hot pursuit, but potentially all the Henry’s in Canada.
444.ca – It’s not often you see a repeating 3-digit domain come up, even if it includes a digit that is considered “unlucky” in the Chinese culture.

Other LLL.CA Domains

There are a whopping 15 LLL leftover domains this week (compared to 7 last week and 8 the week before that) and although there are a few potentials, due to their ending letter. All of these have some issues, such as containing at least one undesirable character (J, Q, X, Y, Z), and/or the letter combination is too low-end to hit our Top Picks.

Of the remaining lower-end LLL domains, IYI.ca and IYS.ca are the only second-tier auctions, due to their flexible ending letters “I” and “S”, while the remainder will have very limited use in the small Canadian business market.

One of the most important factors of lower-end LLL.CA domains like these is the presence of a company, especially a large North American multinational, using the corresponding .COM.

ESJ.ca – The .COM resolves to Enterprise Systems Journal.
IYI.ca – No resolving .COM company.

XGA.ca – No resolving .COM company.
XXM.ca – .COM resolves to EXXM Development.
YKI.ca – No resolving .COM company.
YPI.ca – .COM resolves to Yankee Publishing Inc..
YYI.ca – No resolving .COM company.
ZXF.ca – No resolving .COM company.
