In this post, I cover all the questions that we think about before buying, selling, reselling, and registering domain names.
1. Which Domains are the best domains to buy and will be having good premium value?
The best domains of.COM extension will be having good value when compared with any other extensions like.ORG or .NET or.BIZ or any country-specific domain extensions. Best domains should be easy to remember.
If a domain name comprises proper meaning then that will be easy to remember. Domains having 2 letters and with extension .com worth more than $100K. Domains of 3 letters will also be having great value in the market.
Single keyword domains and dictionary meaning will have worth more than 100K USD. Next is two keyword domain names. A combination of two popular keywords will have good value and its value ranges from $2000 to $50000.
If the domains Personal Loans, and Bank Loans are worth $50000 then the domains like Loans Review and Loans Limit will be worth only a thousand or $2000. So we need to think of how frequently these keywords will be used and also what type of commercial content can be presented on the sites.
It is better not to invest more than 2000 USD to acquire the domains having three keywords. It is better not to take domains having 4 keywords even for 10 USD in the primary market.
Better not to take spelling mistake domains if you expect your business will grow on a large scale over some time. Because even if you develop a domain like Biziness.com to a great extent the free traffic will get diverted to Business.com
For very popular keyword domains people can spend around $500 to acquire. So Personal-Loans or Bank-Loans are better to acquire between a price of $200 and $500. But better not to buy the domains like Loans-Limit even for 10 USD.
Domains should be easily pronounceable. Avoid suffixes like inc, ltd, etc to represent the actual name.
Search for the domain name string in the Google keyword planner. Generally, if the Global Count is greater than 10000 then the domain will be considered a good domain. At the same time domain name should not be greater than 18 characters.
Better to keep it below 12 or 13 characters and in two words. If the search results are greater than 100000 and the domain comprises only two words then it will have good demand.
The next thing is to type the search string in Google and search for it. If you are getting ads when you search then you can consider it a good domain name. Again the more ads the more worth the domain name.
Here again how much revenue will be generated on clicking that ad also will matter to consider the worth of the domain name. Over the period along with experience, you will be knowing whether the string will be having a good increase in domain value or not.
The more the age of the domain the generally more value will be there for the domain name. Again we have seen a couple of domain names that are not worth buying even for 1 dollar and registered for 8 years. So do judgment based upon all points and not on any single point.
In the secondary market if you are purchasing any domain with more than $10000 then check for similar domain names with all possible vendors. Sometimes you may be getting domains that are worth more than the domain name you are planning to purchase.
Single-word domain names are exceptional and their worth will range from hundreds of thousands to millions of U.S dollars. This is what has been observed in the domain names like Business.com, Cameras.com, Autos.com, etc.
Try to avoid local terminology domain names if the business is not purely domestic. The domain goodbusiness.com will have good value when compared with manchibusiness.com Both the domain names have the same meaning but the second domain name is in the local language which is not possible to understand by a broader community.
Consider all points and do a proper exercise of assessment and win a good domain name which itself can give you good customers to your site and thereby improve your business or idea. The domain name can also be considered one of the important key factors to get on to a successful position in the world of business.
Best and high-premium domains will generate good traffic, which helps to generate huge money if someone is running an eCommerce business. A couple of domain names like hotels.com, fb.com, business.com, loans.com, and creditcards.com have been sold with worth of million dollars. Most of the premium domains are bought by investors and a couple of there are available in the secondary market to resell.
2. How many domains and websites are there at present?
There are about 30 million domains that are registered and 15 million websites are present in the market. But there are a few best domain name registrars that provide great domains with cheap rates.
3. How to buy or resell domains of high premium value?
Many service providers in the market offer to buy and resell domain names that are best, great, and have high premium value domains. There are many resellers like afternic.com, Moniker.com, Sedo.com, Snapnames.com, etc.
It is always best practice to reach as many brokers and buyers as possible to resell the best, tremendous, and premium domains. So we recommend trying with the maximum number of possible brokers and buyers to generate good profits.
The more we try to reach the brokers and buyers, the more the possibilities are to resell the domains at the best and great price.
4. Domain has launched a Website. How to estimate the value and traffic to the domain and website?
Alexa.com's website helps to find the traffic to the site. It helps to get regional ranking and the global ranking of the website. Similarly, the sites like worthofweb.com and valuate.com will help to generate the traffic and worth of the website in dollars.
These numbers will help to estimate to come to a conclusion. Apart from our company has several metrics to evaluate the best and great premium domains with websites.
5. How domains can be monetized that have good traffic?
Domains can be supplied for parking domain service providers. They will use your best domains for advertisement and part of the share will be provided to you as a commission.
6. How to Buy Expired Domain Names in the market?
If the originally registered domain names are not registered then they will be considered expired domain names. Generally, with the registrars, we can buy expired domains by placing backorders. Apart from that, a couple of vendors in the market use great technology to capture domain names.
A few of the vendors are Snapnames and Enom. Apart from this GoDaddy is one good registrar with whom we can place backorders. It is better to place an order with all the vendors. The charge will be done by the only vendor who is successful in attaining the domain's name.
7. What is gTLD and ccTLD domain names stand for?
The shortcuts gTLD stands for Generic Top Level Domains and ccTLD stands for Country Code Top Level Domains. A few examples of gTLD are:
- .com which stands for Commercial Domain Names
- .org which stands for non-profit organizations
- .biz stands for business
- .info stands for Information
A few examples of ccTLD are:
- .us stands for USA Domain Names
- .de stands for Germany Domain Names
- .in stands for India domain Names
- .au stands for Australia Domain Names
Read the article on Wikipedia with generic and country-code top-level domains.
8. How to assess the Domain Names and Websites? What price I can pay for the domain name?
Estibot is one of the best websites. We personally feel in 60% of the cases one can pay 40% to 70% of the price for the domains that are priced below 25K USD. Estibot will consider only domain worth and not the content on the website.
We feel for some domains we observed the domain prices that are displayed are highly priced and for a few the prices are undervalued. Of course, different people will be having different thoughts related to valuations.
Always list out alternative domains apart from the domain you want to buy. Then do the exercise of assessment considering.
- How frequently free traffic will be coming to the domain name.
- Valuations by different vendors.
- How easy is it to remember?
- Commercial sites related domains will be having more worth. So like this, the list will be on.
The worth of the web is one good website that will hit google, Alexa and so many systems using APIS to fetch traffic to the site, regional-wise traffic, content in the website like this and so many other factors.
This is one of the metrics that can be taken as input to consider the value of the site.
