domain name ending value?

hugefoot · 19-04-2011, 10:34:00 PM

Hi Guys,

New to the forum and domain buying/selling... I have a couple of domains that I bought because I thought they might be worth something.

I'm looking into either monetising these or selling them on, but not sure where to start, hopefully this is a good place?

What name endings are most valuable?

e.g.
.co.uk
.com
.co
.org.uk
.eu
.tv

If I find a domain I like, which of these are the most important to scoop up?

So far, I have just stuck to .co.uk & .com.

Thanks!

Welcome to Acorn Domains, hugefoot.

Hope you enjoy visiting, there is a huge amount of information and knowledge here.

What domain names do you currently own?

In terms of value...

.com
.co.uk
.org.uk
.tv
.eu
.co

In terms of popularity...
.co.uk
.com
.org.uk
.tv
.eu
.co

Personally, as an investment, I wouldn't touch the bottom three extensions.

Added: there's not much in it in regards to .tv, .eu, .co – would depend on target audience, extension fit, nature of business etc.

I own a few, but as I say, there are still other endings available out there, so I would rather hang on with the names until I know which ones will be worth something.. hope that makes sense?!

What is the best way of valuing a domain name?

Also, I have just used the exacts tool on google adwords and I get 40500 exacts for a .co.uk on one domain.

And 900 on another and 250 on another - are these good stats for a valuable domain?

I have just used estibot and valuate to value one of my domains, how realistic are these?

The .com of one of mine is valued at >$150,000, I own the .co.uk though, am I likely to get anything close?

If you divide that amount by 3, and open your front door there will be a man standing there with the cash ready to give you in exchange for it; no questions asked.

The real answer is "who knows". It depends on the domain name, who might want it and all the other obvious stuff that I doubt you really have to ask. However if you are having to ask, I suspect it's unlikely. People usually know if they have something of value, without having to ask here in a newbie thread.

Sorry!

haha, sounds good, I genuinely believe my domain may have some value though, what's the best way of finding that?

I'm not expecting to instantly turn a profit, more to judge whether or not I should sell on or keep and try monetise or something?
