That's a good question. I'm not sure what is the answer. I'll do some investigation and get back to you if I discover an good answer. You should email the people at Godaddy as they probably could help you..

Why?.

Don't get it at all..

And is it relevant?..

Yeah, it's relavent... it's just a pervert's joke..

69 would be something sexual....

And I thought i'd post it because somone just posted some 168 for some reason lol..

Three 8's is enough and the best combo, more than five 8's is rarely to be used with..

And not everything with 888 is good, only money, fortune, gambling or business related terms with 888 and 168 are considered to be lucky...

I own 8-8.com.

Anyone want it.. Thats about as close to 888.com that you will probably ever get. hehe..

Good numbers like 888, 168, 158, 518, 365, 247, 360, 123, 100, etc!..

I have 888luck.com and with no pushing at all, gets a trickle of traffic at sedo..

Although 888 means lucky, I don't think a lot websites will include that in their HostGator name. It makes the website looks not professional. No big sites use such names. Also, not easy to brand...

^True, but you can make the 888 a redirect...

Some domainers have a big down on hyphens in number domains, but it's better than mine (88-88.org)..

69 is a sex position where two people reverse themselves to perform oral sex simultaneously on each other..

That's for the hopefully small number of people who didn't know..

P.S.: Please don't ban me.

...

I didn't realise I had to reverse myself. Thanks for the tip...

You obviously didn't pick up the point I was making. The numbers 888 have special significance to the Chinese..

Barefoottech has 888pokerplay.com. Developed correctly and directly marketed at the Chinese community = $BLING$.

My personal taste would be against it too, but you've got to look outside your own preferences and see how some things have huge cultural differences...

I have similar question. if all 1-800 , or 800 are taken, and now there are more toll free phone numbers available like 866 or 888. is this worth to register upfront of one word domains?..

I believe 8 in Chinese sounds like wealth, that is why 888 is favo/ured by the Asians..

888.com was sold by the Chinese owner, not too many years ago, to the company that now runs 888.com probably the most successful casino website on the internet..

I own 888Blog.com - seeking a wealthy Chinese entrepreneur who wants to Blog about his /her money etc..
