Q. Are domains with hyphens a good idea?
Is a domain with hyphens in it worse than one without hyphens (for the same words)?
For example:
Is-This-Domain-Better.COM
vs.
IsThisDomainBetter.COM
??

Here is a thread on the topic of having a dash in the domain name.
My summary:
- Get both (hyphenated an unhypenated). Redeirect the one with the dash to the other.
- Limit it to one dash, because dashes are not so memorable.

I've also read here the hyphen is kindof a cultural thing. Over 50% of German (.DE) domains have hyphens. The .DE TLD is the second biggest after .COM (bigger than .NET and .CN and .ORG).
