Do domain extensions really matter?

admin — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 00:55:27 +0000

If the extension doesn’t matter much, there would be so many that domains would have little value. Dot com’s would plunge in value. Only a small number of one word domains with each extension would have some value. Good for some and bad for many of us that own domains.

The reason dot com’s have great value over others is that it is the top domain. It has credibility as a premium site. Would you first check out a web site with .com or .whatever ? Some will only link a dot com on their site and not bother checking out the other domains. Others look like and are usually foriegn country domains so many won’t bother checking it or they fear it may have a virus or a scam of some kind. But country domains have value in their country. A dot biz sounds to me like a scam “bizness”. Credibility is worth a lot of

Four letter, 4L, domains have some value

admin — Mon, 17 May 2010 02:34:02 +0000

Four letter, 4L, domains have some value do to the limited number of them, however, it really matters what the letters are. Its possible that any 4 letters can be in demand some day if it becomes a name of a business, a name of a product or service or an expression like TGIF.

It’s true about the reg fees. Its best to have higher value domains so the cost of the reg means less. Reg fees are a low cost to hold a domain. You can also create a web site with it to gain some revenue from it. Be creative and make a site that sounds like it makes sense for your 4 letters.

Domains that make sense seem under valued to me and I think they will rise at a good rate for a number of years.

Before all the 4 letter domains were taken I looked at the ones left and took one that I liked and will keep it.

About the Domain Name Classification system

admin — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 04:32:58 +0000

My classification “system” is very simple and it doesn’t value sites. With the exception being that class A domains would be worth large sums and below F, no rating, would more than likely be worthless. But if a new meaning of a domain name becomes evident the domain will move up in class.

Commercial real-estate has class A, B and C. It’s based on opinion to some degree but it also doesn’t value a property. The size of the property, comparable to how much traffic a domain gets effects the value to a large degree.

This system can have some benefits. It can focus attention to better domains rather than those at F or unrated.

Clearly everyone would be interested in Class A and B but if someone has class C and D’s people will take a look if they are available.

People, domainers, will have credibility if they actually have C and D’s if they claim they do.

Diamonds are also classified by look and color. Its opinion to some degree. A diamond that is a D flawless is the gold standard of diamonds. I set the class D as the beginning of quality for domains.

Domain Name Classifications

admin — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 21:43:55 +0000

Domains should be classified to show potential value. Commerical real-estate has classifications of A, B and C. Here is a classification chart I created to separate classes of domains.
Class A: Best premium, domain name sells itself, short and most likely searched keyword. Million dollar plus values.
Class B: Premium, short and highly brandable
Class C: Brandable, domain name makes sense, two or more words, or one word that’s not B class
Class D: Domain name makes sense, multiple words, useable for a web site
Class E: Good for parked page or possible web site use, some value
Class F: Limited use, registration fee value
Below F, no use or value, no classification

Domain Investing Has a Low Carry Cost

admin — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 03:23:26 +0000

January 2nd, 2008

When investing there are many costs involved to hold the investment in your portfolio. These costs are often called the “carry cost”. Investing in domains or web sites have very low carry costs. It costs about $8 a year to register your domain. That is next to nothing compared to most investments. The low carry cost makes it easy for anyone to get into domain investing and hold your investments for future profits. If someone has a web site the hosting costs are also very low, under $20 a month or even less than $10. Then there are parking services that will host for free and give you revenue when people click on your web site and an advertisement. The cost of domain investing, the carry cost, makes domain investing low cost and better than most other investments. Real-estate has taxes that can cost thousands a year and maintenance can be both expensive and time consuming. The low carry cost makes domain and web site investing a good choice compared to other investments and will therefore attract more money into it and higher web site and domain name values.
