trades.academy

trades.academy is a keyword-forward name — "trades" carries intrinsic meaning before any branding layer is added. 6 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 .academy 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 60, 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 28 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.
