50,000+ Domains Owned?

leviathon · 12-23-2005, 04:50 PM

I have a question

I have seen some people in forums (not only NP) that claims to own more than 50,000~70,000 domain names for themselves. I wonder is it just them having the server to do it or are they really paying around $300,000 per year for Domain Registrars?

Thanks (This have been bothering me for a while)

sdsinc · 12-23-2005, 05:11 PM

Yeah a few people have lots of names.
The trick is to monetize one's portfolio so that the domains will be self-financing.
Of course some names won't get much traffic but the better ones can offset the loss-making names.

leviathon · 12-23-2005, 05:14 PM

Still... They'd have to be their own registrar?

who knows directi if you become a reseller of them have pricing that goes near the $6 mark if you give them $13,000 in business

DropLister · 12-23-2005, 05:39 PM

you dont have to be your own registrar, most actually have contracts with registrars that give them a really good deal on both side but the person can only registrar names with them.

Or WWD (godaddy Sells them to you for 6$ if you are a Pro Reseller for only $200 or less). A lot of Professionals here and elsewhere are only resellers ,not a registrar.

Most registrars will sell at a discount to their clients with large portfolio's without such agreements. Indeed I have reseller agreements with 5 Companies ,but also buy in bulk at a special rate from a 6th company.

300K to 500k is a typical capital expenditure for a lot of small Businesses ,so you should treat a large Domain portfolio the same way.

This can be and is a Business for a lot of people, not just something to fill in between Mealtimes or school lessons. It is great to have as fellow NamePros members, all the part-time and Hobby Domainers ,but don't forget the Fulltime Professionals.

sdsinc · 12-23-2005, 06:06 PM

Some people do indeed operate their own registrar. One famous example is Elequa who se company FMA.com owns i.net
But many new registrars are just drop catchers as a matter of fact...

dongan · 12-24-2005, 11:15 PM

Bulk Registration, promo codes

very limited number of people in that group, around 10.

"eight players who own at least 100K domains. Another 15 companies or individuals own between 10K and 99.99K domains, according to Dark Blue Sea, while 76 more own between 1K and 9.9K names. "Internet domain marketing is largely made up of 100 people who collectively own 2.2 million .com domains," the company says."

jdk · 01-03-2006, 07:35 PM

Not bad I am almost close to the 1k mark

comcrazy · 01-04-2006, 04:52 AM

If you ignore dropcatching... buying and selling domains and websites is a level playing field not found in many industries.

I have a little over 1000 domains, I need to develop some

As for cost, remember a domain only has to average 0.02$ per day
to earn its keep - thats 1 click per week

Dannoth · 01-04-2006, 06:57 AM

no one needs 50000 domains, so whats the point of getting them?

RogueWriter · 01-04-2006, 06:57 AM

Almost every market out there that I can think of has coalesced via buyouts and mergers into a market that is dominated by a few big companies, with nominal competition from others. There's no reason to believe domains won't follow that same trend.

smub · 01-04-2006, 07:33 AM

i agree that some people have 50k domains , well they can buy and resell it anytime they want to and make profit off it ... so i see a valid point there

**-Nick-** · 01-04-2006, 07:47 AM

I would go for some good ones if I want to buy that much amount of domain names.

make money, either parking selling for profit or devolping some of the better ones and redirecting the rest for traffic.

wasistdas · 01-04-2006, 10:25 AM

I think there are so volumed domain owners. I dont think that even 1% of their domains have websites, over 90% I believe are set up for PPC.

Yes they often do.
Domain ownership is about a lot of areas of ownership and involvement.

The internet is NOT just for Home Pages or Hobby Forums. It is a BUSINESS and as such there are countless business opportunies . One of these is domain name ownership. Owning more than 1K or 50K is only an indication of the size of the business. It is no different to Walmart or McDonalds.

One important thing a lot of the Newcomers to the internet need to remember.
If it was not for the market pressures of large-scale buyers ,domain name registrations would still be over $100 for 1 year and only available at NetSol

Kevin123 · 01-04-2006, 01:08 PM

PPC has allowed some people to do quite well with large portfolios.

If the traffic is there, the income potential is there.

Great post. Rep added. Thanks.

faisj · 01-04-2006, 02:39 PM

Its my opinion its not the amount of domains you own... but the quality of the domain names you own...

rumman · 01-04-2006, 02:43 PM

I don't know how they pay for the yearly renewal of the domains. Also, what's the point of having so many domain names? Just one domain for me is enough. lol

scrsteven · 01-04-2006, 03:56 PM

I would really think more than 76 people own between 1000 and however many names... considering I just got into this a year ago and now own over 600.
