On December 16, 2025, the domain name Affex.com was sold for $31,500 (approximately RMB 227,000) through the Atom.com platform. This transaction further confirms the platform’s core position in the premium short domain name trading market and highlights the market competitiveness of semantically rich, branded .com domains.
From the perspective of the domain’s core value, Affex.com possesses three advantages: simplicity, semantic extensibility, and high adaptability. As a five-letter pure English .com domain, its letter combination is fluent and easy to spell, with extremely low memorization costs. It is convenient for mobile input, meeting the core demands of global commercial brands for their core domain names. Semantically, “Affex” is highly associated with core English words such as “affect,” “effect,” and “affix,” conveying the brand connotation of “generating influence and creating value,” and possessing strong industry adaptability—especially suitable for advertising and marketing, consulting services, technology tools, fintech, and other fields that require highlighting “professional influence.” As a self-created word without negative associations, its brand plasticity is extremely high, allowing companies to freely imbue it with their own brand story, avoiding the semantic constraints of existing words.
The golden attributes of the .com suffix further amplify its commercial value. As the most recognized and trusted general-purpose top-level domain globally, .com domains account for over 60% of applications in commercial scenarios, serving as a core carrier for companies to build global brand trust. The scarcity of five-letter .com domains is becoming increasingly prominent, with only 26^5 combinations globally. The circulation of high-quality, unambiguous combinations continues to decrease, making it a “hard currency” in the domain market, with significant resilience and appreciation potential.
The $31,500 sale price of Affex.com not only aligns with the market value trends of premium five-letter branded .com domains but also reflects the strong market demand for combinations of “short characters + strong semantics + high-trust suffix,” providing an important reference for similar domain transactions.
