The Case for Six-Letter Domains
Six letters sits right at the edge of what's considered "short" in domains. You get the benefits of brevity - easy to remember, quick to type, clean in marketing materials - while accessing a much larger pool of available names.
The math is straightforward: there are far more six-letter combinations than five-letter ones. This means you're more likely to find exactly the name you want, rather than settling for whatever's available in a shorter format.
Many of the most recognizable tech brands are six letters: Google (6), Stripe (6 with extension), Notion (6), Linear (6). These companies didn't see six letters as a compromise - they saw it as the right length for memorable, brandable names.
From a pricing perspective, six-letter domains typically offer better value than five-letter equivalents of similar quality. You can often get a more meaningful or relevant name at a lower price point by accepting one additional character.
Larger Selection
Exponentially more combinations available. Find exactly the name you want, not just what's left.
Better Value
Often lower prices for equivalent quality. One more letter can mean significant savings.
More Real Words
Access to thousands more dictionary words. More meaningful name options.
Still Premium
Six letters is definitively short. You get premium short-name benefits without extreme scarcity.
5 Letters vs 6 Letters
Choosing between five and six letters often comes down to what's available in your preferred style. Both lengths are definitively "short" and command premium prices for quality names.
Five-letter names are slightly more memorable and type-able, but the difference is marginal. Research shows that humans process strings up to seven characters as single units, so both lengths benefit from the same cognitive advantages.
Six-letter names give you more room for compound concepts (two 3-letter roots, for example) and access to more real English words. If you want a name with built-in meaning, six letters opens significantly more doors.
From a budget perspective, you can often find a premium six-letter name at the same price as an average five-letter name. If quality matters more than absolute brevity, six letters often delivers better value.
The recommendation? Don't limit yourself arbitrarily. Look at both lengths and choose the best actual name, regardless of whether it's five or six characters. The specific name matters more than the character count.
