This article takes a look at the highest-value domain name sales from 2023, at least those reported on NameBio. I also compare the year with the preceding few years, to get a sense of the nature and health of the upper end of the domain market. Keep in mind that by no means all sales get...

It can seem complex, with all the metrics and tools and more, to decide which names are worth acquiring. Let’s simplify the process to some key questions to ask. None of these are original, and most have been around for years, but I thought, particularly for those new to domain investing, it...

Last week, I analyzed 3-letter (3L) .ORG domain name sales. In this article, I use the same methodology with 3L .NET domain names. I used data from the past 5 years only, and considered separately retail and wholesale sales, although the dividing line is not always clear. Sales data came from...

The .eu domain extension was one of the bright spots when I analyzed how different extensions had fared in aftermarket sales volume during the first six months of 2023. The .eu extension sales dollar volume was up significantly compared to the same period during the preceding year, or recent...

Many domain investors are familiar with the site:TLD Google search command. This allows you to restrict search results to either an individual website or to a certain extension. For example, it can be a useful indicator of how much use, at least as measured by web pages, for that extension...

In recognition of the 15th anniversary of general availability of the .me domain extension, I thought it was a good time to look at the performance, use and sales record for the extension. The registry has a 15th Anniversary promotion on – you can read about the anniversary in a blog post on...

NamePros is full of tales of mistakes made and mistakes to avoid. Personally, I have made my share of mistakes. This post is about the mistakes I made during the last six years. While I won’t cite specific cases, the article is also informed by mistakes that I have read on NamePros. More Than...

With so much interest in artificial intelligence of late, it was suggested by a NamePros member that I should take a look at the .ai domain extension. While it is almost certainly true that .com is the dominant extension for large, established artificial intelligence companies, .ai has found...

During recent seasonal promotions several registrars offered .tv domain names at the lowest price in many years, perhaps forever. I suspect I was not alone in picking up some names for a trial investment in the extension. That brings up questions such as: Who are typical buyers of .tv domain...

A domain hack uses both sides of the dot to create a single word, for example pi.pe or ma.de. While some define domain hack more broadly, a definition that includes two related words, one on each side of the dot, we will use the narrower definition of a word split by the dot in this article...
