So we did something last week that TheDomains had never done in it’s 9 year existence. We let the readers take over and tell everyone what their best name was and how much they wanted for it.
People had the opportunity to post their true thoughts without worry about being bashed. I probably deleted/did not approve 30 comments, which was on the light side, I expected more, especially considering the amount of traffic the post generated for a number of days.
First off, thank you to everyone who took time out of their weekend to read TheDomains and post their best domain name here.
Now there were some great names posted, there were some good names posted, and to be fair there were some that make you wonder when you couple the name with the price expectations.
Some were not posting their best but their favorite, that’s understandable.
Some were looking for attention or trying to be funny, at least I hope so, because there were a couple $1billion plus asking prices. Call me crazy but I don’t think GirlYou.Sexy will receive an offer close to the $100 billion asking price.
The gems that were posted included Harbor.com for $500,000 + from Andrew Rosener.
FX posted Medical.com and StockMarket.com which are obviously seven figure domains.
AMR posted Profile.com looking for a seven figure price.
Ralph posted TelevisionShows.com for $50,000.
Some of the new gtlds posted included:
- Blockchain.Link
- EZ.Loans
- Cars.Technology
- Live.Casino
- Dining.Guide
There were certainly some names that the owners felt passionately about. They saw a vision for the domain and that has influenced their asking price. That vision may only be shared by the domain owner, they might need to think about becoming the end user or lowering their price expectations if they are seeing 0 offers anywhere remotely close to their asking price.
Here is a look at the 147 names listed, if there was a buy it now price that’s included.

Michael will weigh in with a comment in the comments section to give his take on this little exercise. Readers can feel free to leave their feedback in this thread.

Well, some great names here and some not. The asking prices are out of this world. I think I listed my 7continents.com at $5k or more for offers. Perhaps you may have missed that.
Hi Ray, I can believe I missed that post.
Ray?
What did you need ?
Nothing… Read a post wrong
Thanks for the opportunity and your commitment to the industry. When selling a domain name, once you list a price you can never go higher and once you sell it you can never sell it again. Patience is the name of the game in my book.
I don’t agree that once you list a price you can never go higher. When I quote a price for a domain it is always relative to my cash-flow position at the time. A month or a year later the price can be double or more, just based on cash-flow position, and news about the subject of the domain, as well as domain market conditions can have significant influence as well.
Hello Jon,
I do adjust my asking prices as time goes by, of course. That is not what I meant. I mean once you start the negotiating process. If the buyer was led to you by a landing page advertising a 10,000 price for example it is pretty hard to request 25,000 at that point.
Got it and point well taken. Thanks for clarifying.
How about “Once you meet the registry’s premium price of $1540 to register Toothpaste.Tube, you’ll never be able to put the toothpaste back into that .Tube”
I do not think the majority of these domain sellers know what a good domain is. Or why someone would pay a million dollars for a domain. The words pigeon shit ring in my ears. When we review past 1,000,000 dollar sales on dn journal chart they do not look like any domains on this list. I also see some good tlds. although I think the asking price is way to high. I think some of these domains have merit and could strike a deal at a lower price. I think if these domain owners think their domain is worth over 50k they should build out a website for that domain and monitor the traffic. This way they can see for themselves what the actual results are. And then they could benchmark their results against google serps and see where they fit it, or if they even are in the game. On my website I have the domains built out and then I have a corresponding domain that was actually sold to compare to my domain. An apples to apples approach. I can tell you the type in traffic for each domain, what the users are typing in the browser…some interesting results! IMO
That’s the reason I changed the white label energy comparison site to a newspaper site using the Paper.li white label.
This now looks an informative site, picking up stories from all over the UK, traffic has increased and i’m getting subscribers.
UK.energy
How to contact you ? Wanted to get more info about paperli
Thank in advance
Some great names and shockers.
It never ceases to amaze me how some people can be in the industry so long, and are obviously aware and surrounded by quality names bought and sold daily, yet still cannot value their own domains reasonably.
If they could they would have sold more domains long ago. I can only put it down to some sort of domainer, long term emotional attachment 🙂
Thank you for the post Mike and thank for the tolerance , seems that people don’t understand that good names are 1 kw names, too much 2 kw names posted 🙂 FX and AMR are one if the best + Andrew of course.
Interesting.Yeah
Hmm … 37 different extensions are represented in that list of 147 “best” domains.
Now, I’m all in favor of diversity; and good domains can be found in almost any TLD. But if you asked people to name the very best domain name in existence (and NOT owned by them), then the answers would concentrate on a much smaller group of extensions.
As things are, many obscure TLDs are overrepresented, percentage-wise, in this list of the “best” domains. And it’s pretty clear why that is.
People who began collecting domains after 2014 often gravitate to new extensions where they hope to make their mark and/or make a fortune. In contrast, people who began collecting before 2014 will usually point to something in a more established TLD as their best domain.
Since responses skew toward the new, it’s fair to conclude that readership skews toward the new too.
Creative individuals who see opportunity will look to the new GTLDs.
Those who are entrenched in what they know will gravitate to the more established TLDs.
Those who have been around for awhile prior to the new GTLDs will more likely have something decent in the established TLDs and there for have something to show off there.
@janedoe,
Newbies buy nTLDs because they’re more CREATIVE than the more experienced domainers? Yeah, that’s plausible.
Realistically, newbies buy nTLDs because they’re looking to hand-register something fast and cheap. Instant gratification for a low budget … even if resale is often a mirage.
Domains in legacy TLDs with established market value can be a bit more expensive. Finding undervalued assets in .COM requires research, ingenuity, and hard work. Most newbies lack the confidence and patience to invest in those areas. So they start where things seem easier.
Note: I own thousands of nTLD domains myself. So you may think I’m being unfair; but I’m not as “entrenched in what [I] know” as it may be convenient to imagine.
Some very good names at good price 🙂 interesting.
Pigeon shit.
PoliticalTicker.com sold this past Friday for $1,500 (money received / domain transferred)
Congrats
That was a fun exercise. I thought most domains were low quality, but a few caught my eye.
I liked:
1. Profile.com – no price listed – very good
2. liveshot.com – no price listed – decent
3. AugmentedRealityHeadset.com $60k – decent exact match domain – $60k seems a bit high
I listed BREKIN.COM because I’m new to the domain world and have no idea what to think of it or how to appriase it. I feel it’s a brandable, web 2.0 type of name. What do you think it is worth?
Thanks!
Well, for start – the domain is pronounceable, which is good. But, does the word mean anything, in any region? Is the domain new or aged? These are some factors that may affect the worth of a domain name.
The domain may be worth < low, mid or high 3 figures to different potential buyers with varying budgets and usage.
We may be interested in acquiring the domain from you, and hold it longer. Feel free to shoot us an email via our website for further consideration.

Thanks for the reply!
The only meaning I’m finding is “a Welsh mixed name meaning ‘freckled'”. I could see some people naming their child Brekin. I’m not sure I want it to mean anything or be familiar, yet. This gives some freedom in regards to trademarks.
I registered the domain back in 2013 – so about 3.5 years old – never hosted so no traffic info available.
I see that GoDaddy has “breckin.com” listed for $22,800. That’s the only thing I have to base my appraisal on.
I appreciate your advice! Very helpful!
Yes, the name/word barely has any reference on the web, but that does not make it any less brandable.
The domain age is not much in the eyes of a domain investor buyer, but is never really a serious factor for an end-user buyer.
Though, Google’s algorithm automatically assumes’ queries for “brekin” may be typos for “breckin” or “breaking”. A tough SEO challenge for a potential end user, IMO.
All that being said, you should never base the valuation of your domain, based-off other priced domains for sale in marketplaces (except domain sales history). All names are not equal.
Rather, you reasonably value (price) and market each domain name according to their potentials.

It’s funny, watching you talk to yourself with separate handles.
Derp.
Some sells good domains with reasonable prices. Some sells bad domains with reasonable prices. One offer trademark domain for million dollars that will get him in a trouble. Some offers domains for 10k-up for names that I don’t event want to handreg them.
There are some good one word and two word .coms in the list..I like Profile.com,Televisionshows.com.
