machi.city

Because "machi" is a recognizable word, machi.city benefits from both type-in traffic and search-intent alignment. 5 characters is commercially viable: long enough to encode meaning, short enough to pass the memorability test. The phonetics are balanced between vowels and consonants — typical for a pronounceable English-style name. A .city address keeps the cost base low but also caps the upside — most serious buyers will weigh it against a .com equivalent. No Wayback snapshots exist for this address, which typically means prior owners never developed a public site. At DQS 49, 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 29 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.
