David Delfim Azevedo says
We are changing from our Hyphen .Com to a more memorable .Direct on this list drone.direct
ealfert says
Good choice… I like it!!!
drone.direct is much better than direct-drone.com
pilbeam says
Yep we got hold of hotel.direct and I have been inundated with offers
for it! But we are actually using it to create a hotel site! Its an excellent
name that would cost a fortune if we went to a branding company.
leo says
How many offers have you got?
pilbeam says
Eight mainly from hotel related businesses not domainers
cmac says
how much did it cost you? if you bought on the 21st, it was EAP and I’m sure it had a good premium on it.
pilbeam says
Yep it was £320 with renewals at £240 not cheap but offers are already way clear of those figures (could easily make 20 times that if selling today !). but for a brand that is very cheap and for a site with such a big market should make good annual revenues as we develop it and market it.
cmac says
the plural is better but thats not “that* bad of a price for it. i always liked keyworddirect.com domains but am staying clear of the new gtlds for the most part right now.
pilbeam says
Yes plural is good but held back by registry! Still with hotels a good commission sector the fully developed site should be a good money spinner we have other hotel sites but this will be one we
can spend a bit marketing and expect a good return.
