New to Domaining - What would/did you read?

billyrichards · Aug 8, 2011

I hope that this thread will serve a purpose both to the eager new members of this community and the (very patient) experienced folk who give up their time to reply on here.

I've read through a number of posts in these section and conducted a few searches looking for domaining guides, books etc.

Perhaps we could use this space to discuss various learning resources - both paid and free - aimed at the beginner/intermediate UK domainer. This, in turn, may reduce the amount of repeat or very similar questions.

Any thoughts?

The page called "Domain Name Trading Resources" at WebRef.eu will give you a fair amount to get started with.

Agreed Ron Jackson, has a great resource at DNJournal, It is mostly a General Top Level domain (GTLD) resource though. Having been in domains now for about 12 years myself -active in Country Code Top Level domains (CCTLD). for about 2 years
I have learnt the resale market is somewhat different. At GTLDs the market is looking both for generic domains and almost equally 'Marketing" domains. This applies to a much lesser extent at CCtld level which predomanitely is looking for traffic domains.

With hindsight it is quite apparent why this is so -although It came as quite a surprise just how different the markets are. If you spend an hour or ten !! looking at the extensive Sales archives at DNjournal, the picture becomes more clear.
