Are you going to be buying more hyphen .COM domains in late 2019?

Just sold sushi-man.com from an Epik SSL lander for $4200. This is one of Epik's O&O domains. I don't normally report sales but these days we are routinely asking for $10K+ for good hyphen .COM names and seeing sincere engagement.

The great gTLD experiment has been run. I now routinely sell even ccTLD registrants are upgrading from their ccTLD to .COM if they can afford it. I was late to acknowledge it but the risk-reward equation for speculators overwhelmingly favors .COM.

When it comes to hyphenated .COM, SEO is your friend. I recommend to use SSL landers but any SEO lander will probably do the trick to drive inquiries.

I don't think so, most of the indian companies use .in extension and use Hindi words (mostly non hyphen) in English rather than English dictionary words in my opinion..

We bought what came to us, but have not seen a lot of great lists lately. Things got picked over pretty quickly. A big transaction is pending for a 3 letter domain with 2 hyphens. You can guess the letters.

Not a fan of hyphens, but I grab one when the hyphen really makes sense. Just grabbed this.

Nice one @Bannen with Eco-Tourism.com.

The key point with hyphen names is you need to make it easy for logical buyers to stumble across your listing. That is really an essential dependence on some kind of SEO.

Those of you who are redirecting to some marketplace landers that are not on your domain are going to end up getting very little inquiries.

So either use the Epik SSL landers or set up a free Wordpress site somewhere, e.g. Epik or elsewhere. Do SOMETHING to be noticed.

If you are redirecting to some other landing page that is not on your domain, I think you are really wasting your money in most cases because you have left all the SEO juice on the table.

Hyphen domains require a tiny bit of extra work but it is worth it.

Regards,
Rob
