I purchased 2 - cloudserver & cloudservers both co.uk. Have offers in the mid to high £x,xxx but was considering sitting on them a while.

Will there be a trend in the future? I hope so but i do have my concerns, do i sell now for a good profit, wait another 6 months for a bigger profit or will that waiting prove to show a negative investment.

I'd be interested in your opinions on my domains?

Yours are amongst the better ones as they are directly relevant to the industry. The competition is high on the keywords with the CPC at around £15.

Personally I would have taken the high £x,xxx offer but a higher price might be possible if marketed to the right circles. I'd start looking now. Who knows, in a few months we may be over the cloud phase and decide Rain is the next big thing.

Rainservers anyone?

Since you asked, I think you were right to hold out for more. I think you will be able to make a good sale on these names. What I would do is put up an informational site explaining what cloud servers are, giving some general info. Then at the top of the page, put a msg saying your domains are for sale, a bit like I have done for jet hire and rare wines, but your name is much better!! Then rank it. You will be getting eyeballs from all the big industry players. Then work out how much it's worth (quite a lot!!) and wait for the right enquiries to come in.

I would do this quickly if I were you, because you don't want to miss the "buzz" surrounding cloud names. Companies are now moving in this market, so they will be starting their offerings up, and I think now offers good domain sale opportunities. Keep atuned to the cloud market so that you don't miss the "tech buzz".

Good luck.

These names are good. Not all domainers have the ability to land that kind of domain
I think you will be able to fetch more by holding them for some time. In spite of the hype, there is future in the cloud.
Good luck.

Thanks for your comments, it would seem the majority are agreed that although this may be a trend it is likely to see the light for a while to come.

Accelerator appreciate the tip, will be working on that now and have ordered some content.

Deltrus - the CPC is high but getting these domains to rank with such high competition is going to be very difficult. I will put some adsense on them and see how it goes.

What about affiliates? I understand they pay well, does anyone have any experience in this area under this topic?

+1 for cashing out...

I'd say only the brandable cloud domains will be worth the money as the internet user swarms don't tend to search for say 'office cloud' or 'google cloud' - they search for office 365 & google apps.

The products are far to specific for generics to take off IMO.
