Ask HN: Using numbers vs. longhand in domain?

I've found that people often remember longhand domains better and those ones have more direct visits. But overall I haven't really noticed a difference.

I think people sometimes see numbers in a domain as spammy. But if there's a catchy reason to put the number there then go for it!

Buy Both, and redirect 5folders.com to fivefolders.com or vice-versa.

I went longhand with onedayonejob.com and onedayoneinternship.com

The longhand version looks more professional.

neither. Avoid numbers entirely.

Buy both.

I've found that people are more likely to type "fivefolders" over "5folders" into their web browser.

So if I was you I would ensure that I had the longhand domain, and if possible the number version as well.
