Abstract:

Four-letter domain names are highly sought after due to their simplicity and memorability, making them exceptionally scarce. When businesses utilize them, they enhance brand recognizability.

In August of this year, DomainGang reported that Door.com was likely acquired at a high price by Latch, Inc., the parent company operating Latch.com. Theo noticed this through a trademark filing in the US Patent and Trademark Office. In fact, as per an article in The Verge, the domain has already been purchased, and Latch has rebranded itself as Door.com.
