The "Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival" has just passed. Agriculture has a long history in China, and in the field of the internet, many companies have adopted brands and domain names related to crops. Today, let's take a look at these plant-themed domain names!

You must have seen these!These plant domain names are full of life on the Internet!

1. **Xiaomi:** MI.com

Previously, when people mentioned "Xiaomi," they immediately thought of grains and cereals. Today, when we mention "Xiaomi," we think of the "Xiaomi" brand first. Lei Jun's development of the Xiaomi brand has undoubtedly been highly successful.

Lei Jun once said, "A good name has a trademark, a domain name, a good meaning, and is easy to remember." Xiaomi initially used the double-pin domain xiaomi.com, which cost several hundred thousand yuan. Later, they acquired the two-letter domain MI.com for 22.4 million yuan. Xiaomi also owns numerous "米" (rice) related brand domains. Xiaomi has transformed from being a newcomer to becoming a Hong Kong-listed company with a market value of 554.156 billion HKD.

2. **iQiyi:** QY.com

In its early days, iQiyi used the double-pin domain qiyi.com, which was originally registered by Cai Wensheng and had agricultural origins. Later, it was renamed iqiyi.com. In 2014, they acquired the two-letter domain qy.com/.net for several million yuan. In 2020, they spent an eight-digit sum to acquire the two-letter domain IQ.com. Despite being a brand under Baidu, iQiyi was willing to spend a significant amount to acquire brand domains, operating independently and establishing its brand presence. It currently has a market value of 6.677 billion USD.

3. **Mango TV:** mgtv.com

Mango TV, launched in 2014, is the only internet video platform under Hunan Broadcasting System. In 2016, Mango TV officially adopted the international domain mgtv.com, with the original domain hunantv.com automatically redirecting to the new one. mgtv.com is more concise and memorable, saving users time in remembering and typing. It also signifies Mango TV's ability to stand independently, apart from Hunan TV's umbrella, and create its own place in the market.

4. **Tudou (Potato):** tudou.com

Tudou.com was launched in 2005 and was one of the earliest video websites globally. Initially, Tudou used the creative domain toodou.com. Later, they acquired the authentic double-pin domain tudou.com from Cai Wensheng, with the transaction price being substantial. In 2015, Alibaba announced the acquisition of Youku Tudou. Today, Tudou has completely transformed into a short video platform.

5. **Douban:** douban.com

Douban, founded in 2005, is a new type of community network that integrates reviews, interest-based social networking, and collections. Its official website domain is douban.com, and it protects brand-related domains like "豆角" doujiao.com.cn, "部落" buluo.cn, "小站" xiaozhan.com.cn, "豆瓣说" doubanshuo.cn, and daluo.cn.

In China, many companies use plant-themed domain names, including Mogu Street's mogu.com, Baihe.com, Huajiao Live's huajiao.com, among others. Overseas, such domain names are also popular. For instance, the "Plants" domain name Plants.com was sold for over $450,000 in 2018, and the "Carrot" domain name Carrot.com was sold for $565,000 in 2019.

Plant-themed domain names are known for being vivid, easily memorable, and evocative, similar to animal-themed domain names. They leave a strong impression on users, increase familiarity and trust, and naturally boost user traffic and engagement.

Whether used in any industry, plant-themed domain names can create a magical synergy, helping companies enhance brand uniqueness and differentiation. Due to their inherent advantages, plant-themed domain names have a high value. In conclusion, plant-themed domain names with premium characteristics are a domain category with limitless potential!
