startup-grade brand feel; punchy; natural cadence
Moderate scoring — fine as a portfolio filler if the aftermarket covers cost, not a chase on its own.
Synthesized from the DQS, aftermarket estimate, registration cost, lifecycle stage, and trademark check on this page. Not financial advice — your portfolio strategy overrides.

DQS 52 · .news · 4ch · brandable
Directional only — a gut-check range, not an appraisal. Uses DQS + TLD + length; doesn’t know about comps, trademarks, or brand context. Treat as “worth looking at” vs “skip,” not a bid price.

emma.news centers on the keyword "emma", meaning its resale potential tracks the broader commercial interest in that term. The 4-character length is premium territory; domains this short in established TLDs rarely reach open registration without being caught immediately. Vowel-heavy and smooth to say aloud. .news is a content-oriented TLD, which narrows the buyer pool but works well for publishers and information products. No Wayback snapshots exist for this address, which typically means prior owners never developed a public site. At DQS 52, the name sits in the mid band — not an automatic buy, but worth evaluating against a specific use case rather than on its own merits. The domain is currently in the Redemption Grace Period — the original owner retains the right to restore for roughly 27 more days. It is not available to register today. The signals are mixed enough that we'd only recommend the name to someone who already has a concrete use for it rather than as a speculative play.

Social handle availability

Not catchable yet — queue up early
The owner can still restore. Drop-catcher pre-orders lock in priority; retail registration will fail until release.
