Short Domains for Sale
Short domains, 6 characters or fewer, across all TLDs. Compare a 5-letter .com to a 4-letter .io or .ai. Premium pricing on .com, cheaper on alt extensions.
Short here means six characters or fewer before the dot. Nothing letters-only is left under five characters on .com, so this inventory moves through the aftermarket rather than through registration. The same five letters can be a six-figure .com or a low-four-figure .io, which is the trade most buyers on this page are actually making.

Asking prices and realized prices are not the same thing. Estimate what a name is worth from comparable public sales before you make an offer.
Why short domains hold their value
Less to type, less to forget
Six characters or fewer fit in a logo, a spoken handoff, and an app icon without truncating. On a phone keyboard the gap between a short name and a long one is friction users feel every time.
Supply ran out years ago
Every letters-only .com up to four characters was registered long ago, and five and six character names are filling fast. Most new short inventory comes from drops and the aftermarket, not fresh registrations.
Priced by extension
The same five letters can be a six-figure .com or a low-four-figure .io. Short names let you trade budget against extension: pay up for .com, or take the same brand on .co, .ai, or .io for a fraction.
