In this thread, I will give you my opinion about your submitted new gTLD domain name.

I will focus not only on its numerical appraisal, but also will take other factors into consideration (mainly renewal fee and what you do with the name, where it is presented, etc), to debate whether it is a good investment choice (in my opinion). Just because I am a new gTLD investor it does not mean that I will give good opinion on crappy names - so I will tell you when I see no value or potential. To see examples of new gTLD domain names I personally invest in, you can check my website www.brands.international.

Rules:
1. Only 1 new gTLD domain name can be submitted daily per 1 Namepros user.
2. This thread is related to new gTLD domain names only - I can not give you my opinion about .com, .net, org or ccTLD names like .de or .co.uk names, as I do not have enough direct experience with them.
3. I am not responsible for any damages related to my advice - it is only my personal opinion, although I will really try my best to give reasonable, and well-balanced opinion.
4. You can submit only domain name you personally own.
5. For security and privacy purposes, all names submitted and discussed in replies must be in
keyword(s) / gTLD extension format (for example royal / estate, or bestgames / online)
6. Comments/opinions/appraisals from other members on any name submitted here are very welcome :)

What is your opinion about military/diet?(about 100 renewal). Thank you!

Hello,

I like the name, it is nice and meaningful combo :)

But from math point of view, this is not going to deliver for you, imo. This is the name, which can sell for 800-3k with probability of resale for this price 1%. (hmm, when I checked namebio.com now I see I was even pretty generous with 3k upper range...)

That means, that your projected profit for any given year of holding this name is calculated as 0.01*(800-3k) which makes it between 8-30.

Cost per any given year of holding is about 100.

8-30 is much less then 100. Which means that imo those odds are sharply against you and your profit with this name, unfortunately.

thanks for your reply , i submit biometric / camera
I like .camera, and with keyword biometric I like it even more :)

It is a great catch as you have it for standard renewal, which is around 35-40 at many registrars.

Now, keyword "biometric" is still available at 206 new gTLD extensions (check at uniregistry.com, for example). Of course, with .camera it is a perfect combo, but what can still make a threat to succesful sale of your domain name are some more distant alternatives, combos in extensions like .services, .club, .help, .website, .equipment, .zone, .express, .care , .center, etc..Some of those can be regged at the time of writing for 0.99, some 19,99, some costs 60. (again it can be checked at uniregistry).

That means, that any end user who is in biometry field now has tons of reg fee distant alternatives.

And when we consider this keyword is available for initial sale price of 547 also at .webcam (with standard renewal fee USD 22 for subsequent years), this puts additional pressure on. This one is a pretty close alternative honestly...and I think it will be registered soon as it is a good combo as well.

On the other side, your domain is the example of combo where the connection between keyword and extension is very meaningful, it is an actual product. This is the reason it can stand agains all that competition and still sell for good price. Biometric cameras are on the rise, and there will be only more and more of them.

If someone would ask me to make some bet, I would feel this name will sell in 5-6 years for around 4-8k.
I think its current price (44k) can happen only with very very small probability (basically almost 0, imo), considering above close and distant alternatives. But in time the sale can happen and it can be pretty profitable.

And who will be your ideal end user? I think of supplier of biometric cameras who sells them online, and who will be able to understand that new gTLD EMD (EMD - exact match domain) name can greatly help him to reduce his SEO costs (for example, he would need to create far less backlinks in order to beat competition in ranking). There are already some people who are thinking in this direction in 2018, but in 5-6 years I guess it will be much more prevalent knowledge - therefore I feel chances are your sale will happen in those years.

Opinions on this? Renewal fees approx $30. One of the most exciting technological advances in communal space.

Personally I do not thing this is going perform for you much...

You can imo sell this name for 1k-3k with probability of resale 1% for any given year of holding, thus making projected profit for any given year of holding as 10-30, but your costs are fixed 30...

Odds are pretty much against you as an domain investor with this name, imo.

Thanks, but you do not elaborate any theoretical reason behind that appraisal. I strongly disagree as I have researched this name a lot.

regarding livable / design - I looked into into only for 10 minutes as for all other names so it can happen that I missed something -
is it possible it can achieve maybe higher price then 3k, or sell much faster that I indicated? If so, why?
If you wish, share your thoughts behind that name, we learn by discussion and I am curious to learn.

This domain is ideal to adult industry.

The renewal fee is USD220. Is it a great domain?

Thanks for your advice in advance!

What do you think about

forexonline / trade


Thanks

The domain make sense and I personally like it :)

From alternatives point of view, we have string forexonline available, at the moment of writing, at 226 new gTLD extensions.

End user who is into forexonline business can go for this string in .company, .live (this one is really good and would cost only 1,99 to reg at many registrars), .center, .capital, .exchange (again, very good close alternative for reg fee), and dozens of close alternatives to your name. So this is first thing which brings value sharply down, number of available alternatives for the name.

Second thing is that we can (and many end users will as well) play with permutations in the string forexonline - someone might like more strings like "forextrade", or "tradeforex", or "forexexchange" and I am sure there are other strings which can come to a mind. This can then make number of close alternatives in hundreds, when we consider also permutations in new gTLD extensions.

I think this name is a perfect example of domain name which looks great on first glance, but for which domain investor will have almost no real leverage to ask for any significant premium, as end users can find in few seconds so many close alternatives.

This will often be a case when one register word1word2 name, while word1word2 is not very strongly connected together from semantic sense point of view. If I can replace forexonline with forexexchange or forextrade, then it is not a good sign for a domain investment.

On the good side of the things, I like the fact that .trade has very low renewal at many registrars, around 0.9 USD / year. Which means that holding costs for 10 years is only USD 9 for the domain name.

Because of number of alternatives, I think this name has chance to resell for 1k-2k, but with very low probability of 0,1% for any given year of holding. Which makes projected profit for any given year between USD 1-2, while cost of holding is USD 0,9. So it will still deliver a nice profit imo, as the ultra low renewal fee beats statistically even large number of available alteratives! It can take some years though, but time plays in your favour - as time pass there will be less and less good alternatives available, while you can easily wait for this to happen, as cost of holding your name is almost nothing here.

But ...imagine how nice it would be to get actually nice 1 worder in this extension and keep it with standard renewal of USD 0,9 / year..this would actually be a real money maker and one should focus on this type of domain names if hoping for really good results :)

Newgtld.domains

Thank you
Lol, I like this one a lot, naturally! It is a perfect combo, whole string with .domains extension makes total sense. Nice one!

It was also first registered in early gTLD times, in April 2014. Then someone had it for 3 years, it then dropped and OP got it. This also indicates that domain has good intristic value.

new gTLD domains.PNG


It has standard renewal fee for .domains, which is around 22-30 at many registrars.

I think right time for this domain is still coming, it can sell well in 5-6 years. I have same reasons for this feel of timing here as I gave for biometric / camera few posts above - imo this domain can actually help end user and his online store (with new gTLD domains) to rank high in searches containing this string.

Ideal end user would be either private investor with tens of thousands of new gTLD domain names and enough money and energy to actually develop the domain name so it ranks highly, or registry / registrar dealing with new gTLD domains. Pricewise, I see it around 3k-6k for ideal end user with probability of resale around 1% per any given year of holding.

From investment point of view, the projected profit for this name is 30-60, while cost of holding is 22-30. Which means odds are slightly in favour of domain investor here and domain name should statistically pay for itself and bring a profit as well. GL! :)

What is your opinion on Diverse/Life?
Thanks, great analysis so far.
I love .life names so you speak with huge fan here.

What is important to realize is that one needs to go for high quality keywords there, which makes great sense with .life, and are also, if possible, interesting for large group of end users.

Diverse makes a nice combo, and many end users can use it - I see possible uses as personal blog about lifestyle, travelling blog/web, atd. I see this name more for a personal use, which also then influence the appraisal range, which I see between 1,2-2,5k with probability of resale 1% for any given year of holding.
It can also acheve higher price, while probability for that goes then sharply down imo.

Domain has standard renewal for .life, and it was first registered in February 2017, then dropped after a year, then registered by OP. I know that best names in .life were quickly registered by some very experienced domainers back in early 2014, so that 3 year gap when name was sitting unregistered also indicates that keyword, while solid, is not going to be a huge money maker.

From investment point of view, projected profit for any given year is 12-25, while cost is around 20-30 at most registrars. This would then make it not in favour of you as an domain investor.

But because your domain name is for standard renewal, you can utilize various renewal and transfer promotions for .life - in not so distant past I have utilized some, and I was able to renew some of my .life names for as low as 5. In such case, the math for your domain name will change dramatically in your favour - your cost per year wil be 5, while projected profit 12-25 :)

So can be seen from this example: odds of domain investing can change dramatically, but this depends mainly on the domain investor himself, and how well he or she understands various options there are in new gTLD space.

I totally agree on the time frame aspect of things, as it is impossible to foresee when a domain name will be sold. But the concept behind this domain name is absolutely huge. It might pass under your radar, with all talk of smart technology, but the smartest innovations within communal space (and home) might not be web-enabled. It is a growing concept - improving functionality and planning design to accommodate changing needs over an lifetime. Besides adaptable houses/cities, this idea of "livable design" are being embraced within healthcare and farming/gardening.

I might have to hold this domain for a long time, but that is fine. The renewal fee is nothing more than an .io for instance. It is also a perfect match TLD, that is used even by big companies like Facebook and AirBnB.

I really appreciate your hard work with this thread! Keep it up. Thanks.

Honestly @lolwarrior , thanks a bunch for this.
Just felt it to be kind of a "can't go wrong at all" hand reg considering mycasino.co.uk which went for around 2.5k and the search volumes for online casino / casino online which are pretty solid.
Totally sharing your doubts regarding the prefix, but hey, renewals are negligible and once you win in YOUR casino you might stay for a bit longer than in everyones ;)
Thanks again for going that deep into it! Cheers

Rumor / news

Though some social media have recently combated fake news, unverified news are valuable as they can create noise and public discussions, which is vital for marketing. One example is the rumors about new Apple's products generated before product launch. For this reason, I believe this domain is valuable and ideal to online media industry.

The renewal fee is USD109. Is it a great domain?

Your advice is deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance!
