Are .NET Domains Still Relevant in 2025?

A couple months ago I sold Interface.net: $12,500. Last year, Dose.net: $8k, Derma.net: $14k, Kernel.net: $20k, Vertex.net: $25k, Spring.net: $100k and Super.net: $150k That's over a 3% STR for my .nets (I declined $100k for True.net and $58,500 for Superior.net)

analysis 2025 Domain Name Market Dollar Volume Trends based on NameBio Data

I bought about 200 back in Aug 2020 when the registry and Epik ran a $4.99 promo and have picked up a few others in auction. I've sold about 20 so far - most of them at $3500.

Epik, We have a problem. Domain removed from account without permission.

You absolutely deserve an apology

Bill, I find this post extremely odd. I didn't buy a portfolio from Epik. I bought exactly two names from a portfolio that was shared with many investors. One was NameBrokers.com - which I had I brokered to Epik many years ago. The other was DNprotect which I bought for YOU. You know this...

Good piece, Bob. VelvetRope.com and LoveLetter.com were both mine. Last month I sold Stairwell.com for $60k - which reminds me I need to email Ron Jackson :-)

Derek, Interesting that you would post my wife's name (as if she's ever heard of Epik) and my 80 y/o mother-in-law's name (as if she's ever heard of a domain name). How fair is it to associate them with this mess? Clearly, I don't want to be associated with white supremacy, racism or hate speech...

Thank you for this post, Bill. It takes a true gentleman to admit their mistakes and apologize. It's very much appreciated.

What a mess. I sold this name back in May so it was no longer in my acct nor in my control.

NameLiquidate.com Liquidation Platform (Official Thread)

Indeed, I am on the Epik Board but everything I said was 100% true. I was certainly not trying to impress anyone by explaining how I sold a bunch of names at a loss. I was simply sharing my experience using Name Liquidate. And frankly, I’m happy with the results. I ended up with some hundreds of...

Are .NET Domains Still Relevant in 2025?

I won these names today, along with Sato.net. Do a company search in Crunchbase or LinkedIn and you'll find hundreds using these names. But only one is using the .com. The exact match .net is an upgrade for 99% of the existing companies, not to mention new companies that want to use these names.

Are .NET Domains Still Relevant in 2025?

I use multiple metrics that include how many TLD's are developed - and which ones are on the market and at what price. I also consider what the .com value would be and price about 5% of that value. Also, I factor my purchase price.

Nope. My understanding is all those funds are going to creditors (e.g. registries, ICANN, Masterbucks holders, etc.) To be clear, I have not and will not get a penny from the sale of those assets.

Dishonest and sneaky? Are you for real? I never said that I "removed all connections" because that makes little sense. What I said was that I resigned from the Board. But since you mentioned that I'm "still invested", allow me to explain how start-up investing works: When an angel investor...
