Domains as best alternative investment

by Srinath on October 12, 2008

But how it could be alternative ? you blinking ? You have money then here is an advice

Domains can be best investment if you do it in right way. example : SEX.com was sold for $14Million ! :D amazing eh ? why is so much price ? if you visit sex.com you would find nothing but a parked page with links no nude photos or videos. but the domain itself earns a lot of money for its name and earnings through parking. why so much money for it ? imagine a newbie or someone (not geeks) who wants porn photos or videos for downloads the first things comes in their mind is SEX.com and people type sex.com in their browser. why should people things of sex.com ? its because anyone who thinks of internet or talks about internet they normally say “this.com or that.com”. i have even heard people telling their email id as “www.somename.com”. Thats beacuse .com as penetrated so much in to peoples mind. Also all major brands are in .com. Thats why many people call .COM as KING.

Dictionary word .com’s can be worth anywhere from $xxx-$xxx,xxx. why so much eh ? as i said earlier in the above para. people might simply type run.com ran.com fuck.com fling.com date.com etc etc.

3 Character Domains or LLL.com’s – whats it? ex : ABC.com CNS.com THC.com SEX.com etc. 3character domain included with dictionary word is more costlier. 3char domains are very rare to get dropped beacuse in whatever alphabet combination to make you would make only 17k domains (correct me if iam wrong). all 17k+ domains are registered wayback in 2002. people registred it for $8-15 and now 3char domain minimum wholesale price is $5k. Here is price guide and you might read it throughly . Read it there you will understand what is premium and non-premium letters and their value.

4Char Domains or LLLL.com’s and 5char or LLLLL.com’s are on the rise. the main criteria to find good names is brandabality and prouncanciblity. You might want to take a look at Reece Blog for LLLL.com guide.

For Domaining Resource you might look at

Namepros – Buy and Sell Domains at resellervalue

DNforum – Buy and Sell Domains at resellervalue

Sedo – Buy and sell Domains.

Namebio - for sales record

DNjournal – for recent sales record

Snapnames Pool.com – for buying expired and dropped domains.

you might be asking the price will keep rising for all domains ? the answer is NO it all depends of the character of the domains. even for it there might be price fluctuation but they dont go as down as stocks. When people stop using internet the .com domain values will come down :) . Now happy domaining.
