In terms of domain names, does it make a big difference if you use the letter "z" instead of the letter "s" for the plural form of a word or phrase? For example, ***videoz.com vs. ***videos.com, or torrentz.com vs torrents.com.

I think ending a domain with "z" looks unprofesional and also kind of kiddie,cheap,hackers etc..

what do you think ?

I think whoever registers them might be desperate to register some domain like that and because domains with 's' might be out already, they wanted to try with 'z'.
it does sound bad, but with the rate nice domains are gone (and going) away there'd be no option but to choose these kind of domains.

Unprofessional image and no real value. Only good for niche markets.

I'd register one of these if it was for some kind of personal/gaming/fun web site. Even then, I am not so sure. For the most part, the web sites that I have visited like that were poorly built, or I was mislead to going to it. They were web sites that looked like they had good information, but many times turned out to be something quite the opposite, sometimes sites that border illegal activities. I'd rather not have that initial impression on my visitors minds if they have experienced the same thing.

Also, as most of the other posters said the 'z' at the end does look quite unprofessional for a business.

In my opinion using z's instead of s's is very childish and really should not be used in domain names.

I think using a "Z" would make your domain less memorable. The sites that usually have domains like this aren't taken seriously. I consider them to be childish.

Yeah,
If you are making a 'kids' or 'hacking' website, OR BOTH, it is probabily good, otherwise, unprofessional

Thats a lot of opinions. Probably the right time for me to release my list of names ending with 'z' ....

www.musicz.biz
www.musicz.org
www.musicz.us

What do you guys think these names are worth?

"z"ss... I don't know, I wouldn't prefer it 'cause like you said, it looks unprofessional. I like "s" better.
