Lightbulb Domain Name
Can you tell me why a domain name that begins with an e is worth more money than the same name without the e before it? What is the meaning or intent of the e?

What domains are you talking about? If they're already registered, the price is made up by the owner.

e-business, e-mail, e-gaming, e-cars, e-bay? That type of thing?

the e in such examples means electronic.

I can see where that would cost more, simply because the demand would be greater, simply because it's the current fad.

I think the "e" stands for internet. Whenever you see that the "e" thingy being used it is to refer to an online biz.

I don't think that a domain name that starts with an "e" is necessarily worth more than one that does not start with an "e". If you had to choose, which one would you go for between love.com or elove.com????
