Please does a domain value as estimated by a domain estimating sites like estibot and siteprice.org really represent the actual worth of that domain when one wants to sell? Please I need to understand this.

Nope, the worth of a domain is whatever the buyer is willing to pay.
Estibot can say $100 but the buyer can pay $6000 if it is valuable to him & vice versa

Bro. I just bought a domain via expired auction. I got charged 10 dollar for the domain & 15 more for so called .COM DOMAIN RENEWAL making everything 25 freaking dollars for just 1 domain.

Am I on the right track? Is this what you get charged too, cos when I reg domains via closeout or deleted.com its normal 8 or 9$.

Any site where I can park my domains for free? Seems most of them charge for parking.

Man, bidding is war oo. Lol. After back and forth, I was able to secure my first two expired domains from godaddy auction. Linuxrecoverydisk dot com and na-cozinha dot com. Both having page rank, similarweb, CPC and alexa traffic rank. I hope I can make my first sales from these two. Top of the evening, guys.

Just because many are bidding on a domain does not make the domain valuable, i still can not understand the use of the domain above, i just pray and hope u did nt spend much for this names.

Guess u must be a guru.

Good luck bro

I have no experience with numerics, I don't even own one of those again (had 0123.biz sometimes back). In most cases you can't just put domains on auction. In Flippa, you have to pay to auction it, same in Sedo. However, if you receive an offer after listing (which is free), you can push it to auction (and free too).

When you are buying names, think about what you as a person can do with the name. If you can't think up three or more things that can be done with it, you may need to reconsider.

Yugovy.com is nice, if you can create such and even better names than that, you may be able to sell to startup entrepreneurs because meaningless names are a fad. Check out brandbucket etc for such names.

If you will do .xyz and other new TLDs, make sure you go for very strong keywords. Possibly single-word (there are several singlewords still up now). I had shipper.xyz in my cart before it was snatched by the unscrupulous whois I used for research. Got compute.xyz (cloud services can use this, any online service dealing with numbers etc can also use that) and many others.

If you can, and if you have the funds to purchase and maintain, stick to .com names. I feel there are more bad names than good names in the hands of most domainers. You can check godaddy auction and see names / the interest each generate.

I will advise you to be careful with this strategy. I also started on that path ($69 for dropping auctions). With your $25, you can get (i.e register) 3 or 4 .com domains with each worth at least $250 in the aftermarket. You can get nTLDs etc which will be worth $$$$ in the aftermarket. Let me give an example, funding.asia was valued by Sedo at $8999. And how much did my business obtain it for? Lesser than that.

Change your track. Think up good names, research very well. Understand what makes a domain valuable (basically its demand for the keyword s in the name and its length etc), and then take smart risks.

I spent 8 hours everyday (sometimes a whole night) studying deleted domain names and searching (manually) through millions of deleted names. That was about 6 years or so back. It paid off. This business is like prospecting diamonds. It's tough but it works.

When next you have $25 to spend, give me $20, and I will fish out one name you can register for $5 which will be worth a 100 times your $5.

hello to the BABA them.......i'm about to go into this business, but i have few questions


1........must i use a VPN? or a nigerian ip is okay

2.......which of the domain company would you recommend i sign up with?

3......would you encourage a starter to invest on expired domains??


thank you

1. Use your normal Internet connection.
2. Use the registrar (domain company) that offers you the cheapest for the TLD (domain extension) you are interested in. Google for coupons too. If I need a .biz domain name, I get it where .biz names are going for $3. If I need a .us domain name, I get it where .us is currently cheapest. Hope you get it. Same for .com
3. Like any business, you are free to invest. But like any business too, you may loose money. SO be cautious.

My advice to you is - head over to Sedo and Flippa. Check out their recently sold names list. Study it daily for as long as you can. Then headover to Godaddy or Name.com imagine domain names YOU will love to buy. Type it in and search if they are available. Most of the names will be unavailable. This excercise is just for you to have a feel of what names are cool and likely to be in demand.

When you finally go hunting, you will notice worthy names (since you have experienced those already registered). In short you need to be able to appraise names if you will succeed in this venture.

Best wishes*

@CPriest it seems u understand this game very well. What got me is where you mentioned registering a domain with $5. Which registrar offers $5 to register? because i know that godaddy will not give you less than $13 and on discount of 35% not less than $10.69.
What i have noticed in this domain business is when buying, Nigerian bank will charge you 220 per dollar, but when receiving, you are paid at the rate of 180 per dollar.
So you can pay $10 to buy and if sell $12, you are the one loosing. But all the same it is very interesting business

To get .com at under $10, look out for coupons and promocodes. Namecheap still sold .com at $5.9 yesterday. But I checked now and seems they are back to $9.66. That said, why would you buy at $10 and sell $12? I hope I have not confused you into thinking domain reseller business?

What I meant is this, if there is a .com name you can handregister e.g namingguru.com and you register it at $5.9, then someone comes around saying they want it, you can sell it at $349 - that is Sedo's valuation. But if I would value it, I will say start at $500-$1500. Why? Because estateguru.com sold at $3500 and helpguru.com sold at 2,500 Euros.

So even if they exchange at N150, you have made over 300 times profit. Sadly though you may wait for a long time sometimes before someone offers to buy your domain name.

pls sir, if i register a domain myself, after paying for the registration will i have to pay another money again?
