domains Behind The Keyword - Spotlight on "Cloud" Domains

Spaceship Spaceship
Welcome to Behind The Keyword, I will be taking a look at the most popular keywords that sell, get listed and get developed. Whether it be on big marketplaces like Sedo and Afternic or specialty sites like BrandBucket.

One of the most popular and best selling keywords out there - Cloud

Some Tech related statistics:
  • 961,000,000 results for the keyword in Google using "Tech"
  • 823,000 exact monthy searches according to Google Keyword Planner
  • 110,000 exact monthly searches for The Cloud according to Google Keyword Planner
  • "cloud" is the 5th most popular topic on the internet by domain count.(LeanDomainSearch)
Sales

The top reported sale with the keyword cloud is UpCloud.com for $100,000. The sale took place on Go Daddy in June of 2011. The domain is developed and located in Finland.

LiveCloud.com at $92,000 is the second highest reported cloud sale. This sale took place in 2011 as well, this time Sedo was the sales venue. The seller looks to be Groupee, Inc out of Seattle. The buyer LiveDrive out of Great Britain. I think they have screwed up the forwarding as the domain points to WWW.com which is parked at Uniregistry. I sent an email to them to let them know about their error. Live Drive does cloud storage.

The number three cloud related sale is CloudLet.com at $50,000. This is a recent sale by Name Administration, and the whois looks to still be DomainNameSales.com. The domain does not resolve.

Cloud has also done well in the alt extensions:

  • cloud.io 45,000 USD
  • cloud.org 42,000 USD
  • cloud-computing.de 38,280 USD
  • cloudid.net 28,750 USD
  • cloud.com.au 27,875 USD
  • cloud.me 22,500 USD
  • clouds.me 21,600 USD
Cloud is also a popular search term on BrandBucket.

Some BrandBucket sales include:
  • Cloudelic.com
  • Cloudico.com
  • Cloudize.com
  • CloudKarma.com
Usage

The keyword is very strong in usage, some of the most popular websites include:

iCloud.com possibly the best know cloud related website on the Internet, owned by Apple.

SoundCloud.com the social sharing leader for all things sound.

Cloud.com a redirect to parent company Citrix

New GTLD

There is a .cloud extension

Thanks!

And "datacloud"?

How come no sales whatsoever?

true true. but you are talking about DataCloud.com what I'm talking about

Keyword+DataCloud.com or
DataCloud+Keyword.com

I know it's a stretch with it being a 3 keyword domain but still you see domains with "DataBase" in it. how come "DataCloud" isn't bringing in any sales. I've read and heard people use the term frequently.

like. "where do you store your files?" " I store it in my data cloud."

"Data Cloud" is trademarked so that would partly explain it. I

true true. but you are talking about DataCloud.com what I'm talking about

Keyword+DataCloud.com or
DataCloud+Keyword.com

You cant register a name like MyDataCloud.com or DataCloudPlus.com if the phrase "Data Cloud" is trademarked, the same as you cant register MyGoogle.com or GoogleMan.com...especially if you are going to use it in the same industry. Check the legal section and you will find all the info you need on this.

Yeah thats right Ray, I sold quite a few of the cloud names I had (CloudLand.com, CloudPros.com, CloudCo.com, CloudGuru.com) and all have been developed which is great to see. I still have a few and get regular offers on them so cloud isnt going anywhere. I have also found german (.DE) cloud names sell very well with english keywords.
Awesome man!

Yeah, I mean naturally "Cloud" will always be better than it's plural form n this niche. I did however get high xxx offers for sclouds.com.
