information Top Topics: I Sold PaladinDrones.com for $7,500; A Domain Investing Guide...

NameSilo
This week's Top Topics comes to you from Dublin, Ireland! From a domaining point of view, Ireland is heavily invested in their .IE extension. The large majority, probably close to 85%, of billboards and local advertisements I've seen, have contained a .IE domain name. In comparison to my experience in the UK (with .CO.UK), I would say that .IE is far more popular for local and national brands.

This is anecdotal evidence, of course, but it shows the variation of usage of ccTLD's between different countries. Here are this week's Top Topics.


I Sold PaladinDrones.com for $7,500

Drone domain names have been a worthwhile investment for some domainers, with names such as DroneRescue.com selling for $15,000 a couple of years ago. Drone.com even changed hands last year.

This week, an investor shared their recent sale of the PaladinDrones.com domain for $7,500. After registering the domain in 2016, this investor waited and eventually received an inbound offer via his Efty landing page, with an inquiry from a broker. After some back and forth, the deal closed at $7,500. Congratulations!

I Checked Every Four-letter Domain

There are a total of 456,976 four-letter .COM domain names in existence. Some of these names, like Zoom.com, have the power to sell for millions of dollars whilst others have low wholesale value. In 2015, four-letter .COM names were incredibly popular, with portfolios trading hands for over $2,500 per name at one point.

This domain investor revealed that they have checked every single four-letter .COM domain to see if there were any available for registration. Unfortunately for the domainer, every single one of the almost half a million combinations has already been registered!

If Domainers Could Have One More Thing...

If you could have one more service, resource or tool to make your domain investing tasks easier, what would it be? This hypothetical question was posed by @Bob Hawkes, and it has received some interesting answers that have sparked debate.

Some responses include lower price caps on registrations, a tokenized domain fund and a reform of the UDRP process. What would you say?

Hello, for sorry, but I, personally, very doubt in Paladin drones. Why Drones must be a Paladin?
