The premium domain SZ.com has sold. As stated by 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 firms or investors, and the reason was explained in my last article Why are 2L (letter-letter) domains so sought following in China?.

Domain Meaning Assistant notes 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 stated many times, two letter domains are sought following by corporate China since they are not only short but can also help Chinese firms go global.
