OMG over 1000 .co.uk's

mally · Feb 24, 2011

I've just checked and I own more than 1,000 domain names.

I would best describe myself as a developer rather than a domainer, however in reality I think I need to consider selling some of my domains.

I recall someone saying, I think it was a podcast, that every little domain is like a child and you never want to get rid of it.. Umm, do I need a session at domainers anonomous?

Any suggestions, how do you cope?

With 90% of them being magazine related?

That equates to 3.5k PA or £10 per day in reg fees

Sell some, put them in classes of 1 to 5 and sell all of class 4 and 5 with class 1 being the best.

Sometimes you just have to let go and move on

Best of luck

magazines, umm, about 200 at last count lol. Yep, I agree selling some off them would be a good option.

Anyone know any domainers who will look and value 1000 individual domains? I don't think I've got the time/skills to sell many at a time, and transfers etc can be a right pain lol.

Rating them 1 to 5 seems like a good idea though, I might give that ago.

You shouldn't have bought that available list off me

I would say don't buy any more until you've attempted to market and sell some of your existing ones.

Build yourself a portfolio site and put all your names on it, add the site to your sig here. It's a start at least.

Anyone recommend a good portfolio script?

wb · Feb 24, 2011

Wouldn't mind seeing a list if you're selling any off

Marcoose · Feb 24, 2011

Yeah me too. Please send me a list of the names if you are looking to sell them.

You could always list a few on domainlore and let the market value them. If your not getting the prices you want doing that then start to put some time into developing a site to list them

here's a spreadsheet of my domains, I've gone through them and removed the ones I defo want to keep, some of the ones on the spreadsheet might have websites. mally.co.uk/domains.xlsx

Do you only have them saved by those 2 columns? If you can break them up it might be a bit easier for potential buyers to find domains they like - in that list you have Some really good domains, some really crap ones, some nsfw ones, some me.uk, some .org.uk, some real extensions, some 3 letter domains and some trademark infringements.

As a domain buyer I have no interest in nsfw, trademarks or me.uk - but I need to trawl through 850 domains to find ones I might want to look at. Whenever I get sent big unsortable lists I tend to just skim over it, or don't bother at all. Maybe thats just me being more lazy than everyone else, I'm not sure
