What To Expect in 2022?

Super short domains (1&2 characters) remain our “best sellers” and are becoming an important asset for any business that is planning to utilize a memorable URL shortener for increasing brand awareness. Although they come at a steeper price tag, the sheer number of short-link impressions justifies the investment in brand building, and it is logical to expect that the number of 1&2 character domain registrations would increase. After all, nothing says Facebook and WordPress like FB.ME and WP.ME.
