domain What do you think about my new gTLD domain? Advice thread.

[Brands.International]

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 ​

@The RealDomainLord I like 2 of them very much, which are Rental / Expert and Safe / Fund. Those 2 are amazing!

As for the rest Dog / Fund, Safe / Repair, Portal/ Cab, Apartment / Photo and Apartment / Supply, they sound good on first hearing, but I simply feel they have small potential from investment point of view (you submitted several names, so I will not explain for each in detail why is that, so just a very quick a feedback here for those worse names).

So now back to our 2 winners, which I will comment in detail:

Rental / Expert - The name has premium attached to it, which seems around 110-140, depends on registrar. It was first registered in early new gTLD times, in May 2014 then someone dropped it, which is a big mistake imo. The name has amazing potential to become global brandable, it is obviously 10k plus name for ideal end user, but I would feel it around 20k, maybe 40k even in 2018. And in future it will be even more imo. You do not need to think much about it , it is simple - 10 years of holding cost will cost you 1100-1400 USD, while you will sell it for much much more with very high probability. Size of end user pool is huge, basically almost any real estate company can utilize it. This is for me the best domain name I saw so far in this thread.

Safe / Fund - This is another amazing name, it was first registered in August 2014, and you were very lucky to register it in 2018 a very short time after someone dropped it recently. It has premium renewal attached to it, which is around 80 - 90 / year.
As for resale price, this can be imo 6 digit name (XXX XXX), totally depends on your ability to present the name, reject offers, etc. This is type of name you can basically retire on in future, of course wih some luck as well, but the base for it is already present here in form of very high quality of the name. Amazing financial potential. And probably the second best name I have seen here so far.

So my advice is this: do not care about / pay for garbage names and keep your Rental / Expert and Safe / Fund with you until the deal with right end user is not made. This can take several years of course, but when its done, you will love domaining. They are not cheap to hold, so you need to budget properly for it, but it does not matter in this case, as potential of those 2 names is very large.

@lolwarrior

First of all, I appreciate the time you took and continue to take looking into the requests on this page.

The Gtlds that I listed are the only ones I have. I don’t plan on getting any more unless I run into some really good ones. I will definitely take your advice about keeping them for a while until I get a very good offer. Hopefully my marketing skills will help get these to the right business sooner than later.

Thanks again,

What do you think about time, supply and demand. With population growth at around 700% since 1900 - and the internet only being touched by less than half and less than that investing in or developing from that same population pool, wouldn't these almost zero value domains start picking up value once the other >3.5 billion people start using the internet for their various reasons and lively hoods? Wouldn't gTLD's gain in value in the short term? 10 years or 20 years?

You are welcome friend. I too thing it is much better to have few good names then 1000 names which you are not going to resell. It is all about quality, quantity does not matter here much

Withdraw // Online

@NamesNewbie I like your domain name withdraw/ online..good combo, and you have it only for standard renewal! Can be 5k-20k sale in 2018 imo, with probability of 1% for any given year of holding.

You can now keep .online domains with less then USD 7 renewals at some registrars if you look well...so in case yearly cost would be lets say 7, your projected yearly profit is 50-200, while your holding cost is 7. Should be highly profitable, imo. GL

Xpress.Network

@Sumeeth I think it is too soon for playful brandables when it comes to new gTLds in 2018 - I feel Xpress / network has almost 0 chance to resell for anything significant.

Quick google search shows that there are some end users who are using Xpress keyword in their names, so some of them might be interested for mid XXX, but I would not keep this name for longer then a year if you can not outbound it to them during that period. GL

I only own a few new gTLD's, but I wanted to get a bit of insight (if you have any) on this one.

Fin /guide

I reg'd it today. I quite like it. A lot, the more I dig/scheme.

I did a bit a searching, and although there aren't many big sales in the extension, it seems most relevant stuff is registered at least.

Cheers!

@Mary Muse I do not feel fin / guide will work well for you..

When it comes to "fin" keyword, it is available at the time of writing in at least 145 new gTLD extensions.

Your name has small premium attached to it, around 40 - 50 USD, depends on registrar.

Available alternatives are, for example: fin in .foundation, .doctor, .bio, .enterprises, .education, .institute, .management, .help, .deals, .click, etc. Some are for few USD, some are for 100 USD. One can check easily at uniregistry.com for keyword "fin".

This availability of (more or less) close alternatives means no real leverage when it comes to negotiating with end users. If someone want really urgently to have "fin" in .guide, ok, they will pay mid XXX-2-3k, but in most cases they can simply hand register some pretty good alternative. Considering renewal fee, it will not work from math point of view, imo. GL!

Bucks (dot) Exchange

Thanks in advance.

@Giroud I think it is too soon for playful combos in new gTLDs, and "bucks" is kind of slang.

Probability that someone will choose exactly this name in next few years is close to 0, imo. When end users opt for new gTLD names, they usually go for very strong keywords, and "bucks" is not one of them. Would you have keyword like "money" or "crypto" or "bitcoin" with .exchange, that would be totally different story (high XX XXX - XXX XXX). But "bucks"..I would drop the name after a year of holding.

Hi @lolwarrior

What do you think of

Podcast Player / live

I have to get opinion on quite few but as only one / day...so thought letsl utilise your expertise when offered..

Thanks in advance.
Ravi.

@vravis9 Hi Ravi, I do not feel you can make any profit with podcas player / live

Reason is number of available alternatives for reg fee - to understand this, you can visit uniregistry.com and insert your string "podcastplayer" there...it will display 238 extensions where this string is available, for as low as 0,9 USD, and many of them are good close alternatives to your name...You will have no leverage to sell you name for any significant profit, if end users can easily choose from so many options..

Hello lolwarrior,

what do you think about answer / global

Best Regards.

@cybernet answer/ global is type of name .global registry sells on regular basis in 4800 - 8800 price range (anyone can check in namebio.com for details) It can imo sell also for 12k plus to right type of end user in 2018, with probability of 1% for any given year of holding.

Of course, if you hold it, you need do some really good outbound effort, as .global names are for 55-60 renewals at most registrars, so they are not so cheap to hold passively.

From math point of view, your yearly projected profit is between 48 - 120, and your yearly cost is 60, so it is balanced investment - what you give in , you will probably get out of the name, but it can take several years, so you need to budget for it properly. As can be seen from numbers, this is not a name just to hold passively, if you want to have a good profit from it.

So math is not that amazing, but name itself is beautiful, I really like it GL!

What about shares.expert and electricity.expert?

I know it's ment to be 1 a day so im happy to re-post a domain at a later date if you don't have time! Thanks for your help and advice @lolwarrior

@Tomathon I like shares / expert and electricity / expert a lot. Good names, and they have standard renewals for .expert attached to them, which are 35 at many registrars.

Those names can imo fetch 2k-10k in 2018, with probability of resale in this price range as 1% at any given year. In 2018 they are balanced investment, as your yearly cost will be 35 while your yearly projected profit is between 20-100. So math is not magical, but those are nice names, and not much available alternatives to them are existing - can turn to be a nice investment in future imo, if you can hold on them for several years. GL

Thanks for your time and effort, Much appreciated. Next time I will do a better research to get a decent domain.

Yeah, I think we're on the same page. I obsess over variables like the ones you noted above while hand-reg'ing, so I definitely agree with your points.

Thanks for your efforts & time as usual, blood!
