Domain names should be short and sweet. The ideal length of a domain name should be 8-10 characters.

Some people have made a lucrative side business just by owning the right domain name.
Cyber Squatters (aka: Domain Squatters) gradually purchase a portfolio of domain names, put up a single static page on the website that says ‘For Sale’ (and lists contact info), and they just sit on them until somebody buys them.
There are also criminals in the domaining world. They usually engage in theft in the form of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking (RDNH).
