Another two letter .com domain sale.
The premium domain SZ.com has sold. According to the Whois record at Godaddy where the domain is registered, the domain was updated on September 16 and the owner is located in the Fujian Province of China.
SZ.com was registered in 1995 and I could not find any price information for the domain. Namebio has the following recent sales of two letter domains, so I speculate that the price for SZ.com would be high 6 figures or more.
Domain | Price | Year |
---|---|---|
OA.com | $609,068 | 2020 |
TM.com | $1,250,000 | 2019 |
IJ.com | $550,000 | 2019 |
RX.com | $1,000,000 | 2019 |
OL.com | $900,000 | 2019 |
A lot of two letter domains are owned by Chinese companies or investors, and the reason was explained in my last article Why are 2L (letter-letter) domains so sought after in China?.
Domain Meaning Assistant reports 2660 Chinese phrases which can be represented by SZ as an acronym. Many of the phrases are well-known throughout China, as shown in the following examples.
Pinyin | Chinese | Meaning/significance |
---|---|---|
Shen Zhen | 深圳 | City named “Silicon Valley of China” |
Shi Zhuang | 时装 | Fashion, category defining name |
San Zang | 三藏 | Monk in “Journey to the West” story |
Shen Zhou | 神州 | Old name for China |
Sun Zi | 孙子 | Author of ancient book “The Art of War” |
As I have said many times, two letter domains are sought after by corporate China because they are not only short but can also help Chinese companies go global.

You are right, Xinxin. Suzhou (苏州) is a very famous and ancient city. In fact, there is a idiom: 上有天堂,下有苏杭 (There is heaven above, and there is Su Hang below). It tells you how a wonderful paradise Su Zhou (as well as Hang Zhou) is.
