NFTs.com: Domain Appraisal vs Reality

Domain name appraisals, especially automated appraisals, have always been a contentious subject thanks to the potential for domain names to be wildly undervalued by automated domain name appraisal websites.

Following the announcement of the reported $15 million sale of NFTs.com, one investor has highlighted the stark difference between the automated valuation of the domain and the actual price that it sold for. Do you consult automated domain appraisals before buying or selling a domain name?

This .TV Domain Sells for $15,000

This sale may be insignificant when compared directly with the $15 million NFTs.com deal, but it’s a deal worth highlighting nonetheless. The sale comes courtesy of a prominent .TV investor who has previously sold domains such as Germany.tv for $50,000.

This domain, which achieved a sales price of $15,000, is a British English spelling of a common dictionary word. The buyer of the domain name is currently unknown, with the name under Whois privacy protection at GoDaddy.

Who Owns or Controls ccTLDs?

Around the world, there are hundreds of different ccTLDs, assigned to individual countries. Some of these ccTLDs are more popular than others and some, such as .CO and .IO have even been repurposed into popular alternative domain extensions.

But who owns or controls ccTLDs? Does each individual country control its own ccTLD? Who really has control over these extensions?
