How Much Is Your Portfolio Worth?
Recently, domain investor Rick Schwartz tweeted a rough guide to the valuation of his portfolio, eventually determining that he valued his entire portfolio of seven thousand names at over $500 million.
This news was the catalyst for a debate amongst domain investors as to how much their own domain portfolio is worth. It has also sparked quite the discussion about Rick’s portfolio and how he has valued each domain within his portfolio.

I Sold Kute.com for $20,000
Domainer @rentmynames announced the sale of Kute.com this week for $20,000. According to the seller, the buyer got “a great deal”, but they were in need of funds. Did this investor undersell Kute.com? Many other domainers are under the impression that the investor could have sold the name for much more, but having acquired the name for $7,000 in around 2011, it is still an excellent return on the original investment.
This domainer also announced the sale of tosu.com this week for $5,655. What are your thoughts on these sales?

Which Is The Best Registrar to Use?
Which is currently the best registrar for a domain name investor with over one hundred domain names? There are many options to choose from, and varying reasons for choosing a specific registrar. Price, customer service and ease of use are just three of the main factors that can influence a domainer’s decision as to which registrar they choose to work with.
In this discussion, there are many registrars being recommended. These include GoDaddy, Uniregistry and NameCheap. Which is your preferred registrar and why?

How Do You Manage Your Domain Names?
If you have a substantial portfolio of domain names, how do you keep track of renewal dates, nameservers and other important details? Services such as Efty provide excellent online tools to keep track of your portfolio, but some investors prefer offline options.
Excel spreadsheets, custom databases and even notepads seem to be popular options amongst domainers. How do you manage your own portfolio?

You Know You Have Too Many Names When…
In this fun conversation, domainers are discussing the moment when you realise you have too many domain names in your portfolio. It’s an entertaining domaining-related dialogue that’s worth reading if you need a little bit of amusement today!
For those interested, some of the best responses include “looking up a domain name and finding out you already own it” and “when you need a mortgage to cover your renewals”.
