guide Domain Worth Retaining

Raj2610 · Mar 14, 2020

Let's use this thread to figure out if it is worth retaining a domain. I am hopeful that senior Domainers are going to support the newbies in treading on the right path.

Lorises are small primates. As an animal name, especially a primate name, you could name lots of businesses with it, doesn't even have to match what you do. It is pronounced as "Loris is", so quite simple, 3 syllables.

I had never heard of a Loris before! Very cool.

I feel like it would make a much better brand as the singular word (Loris). I think the plural would be better suited to an information site about the animal.

Loris would have probably hit high $xxxx resale at GD ) Singular of an animal is more valuable and also it could have meant Lori's.

This one slipped under the radar, which is good for me ) Yes, could be info site, could be a conservation effort, could be a business that donates % of income to saving endangered primates etc.

I knew about them because people keep them as pets and many "cute" videos about them actually are cruel ones but people don't understand it.

You are really trying, kudos to you. I appreciate your time and effort in helping out.

NameFit · Jun 3, 2020

Thank you all for your trust.

ChicagoBars.us
NewYorkBars.us
LosAngelesBars.us
NewYorkCityBars.us

Would love some feedback and if I should hang on!

NameFit · Jun 4, 2020

Sure @lilbballer27 - sure. Not sure of the business model for ISSview.com. For other extensions, cannot comment as not familiar.

Best.

Appreciate the feedback! This is my first time testing with .us, but I wanted to try my hand at Geo domains.

As far as ISSview.com. I am unsure of what I want to do with it as of now. Currently it has the live feed from the ISS and a map to track the ISS flight path, but that doesn't really help me monetize.

You're actually talking about two different things here: developing vs. selling domains.

@NameFit is giving feedback based on their opinion of how sellable the name is on its own merits, without any development.

Very true, thanks

@NameFit is best .. I wish and wonder that we would have this kind of experience before!

Somertonian · Jun 4, 2020

@NameFit , I have just found this thread and i think you are providing excellent insight to people. Could you possibly do a 'sanity check' for me on these names please. They are all .com
2ndHandGames
AceSpectrum
AgedComics
CosplayBasics
CoverSleeve
DogFriendlyHikes
KiloTrim
QickNews
ShareBuys
SoAshley
VegFromSeed
Zigily
Zagilly

The last 2 were my first attempts at made up brandables.

Kind regards,
Somertonian

NameFit · Jun 4, 2020

@Somertonian - sure as per below.

2ndHandGames - typically you do not want names starting with numbers. At least in US, 'used' is used instead of 2ndHand
AceSpectrum - ok general name.
AgedComics - google does not say it is popular. very few references.
CosplayBasics - not sure what cosplay means, but does not sound right.
CoverSleeve - if you are selling cover sleeves, then it needs to be sleeves. You have to think that a standalone cover sleeve business, that may not be enough. One will buy cover sleep from popular retailer that sells thousands of product.
DogFriendlyHikes - can be informational site at best, cannot make money.
KiloTrim - this could be good for non-us country where metric system is used.
QickNews - you do not want a misspelled name for news site.
ShareBuys - this could be ok, some ecommerce model will evolve if already does not exist.
SoAshley - so you have buyers named 'Ashley' only, plus so in beginning leaves a question mark at end (not perferred). Can be personal brand of someone, very very limited market.
VegFromSeed - not sure if are referring to vegetables from seed, if so not sure not sure if there is something special about being from seed. Typically Veg is not short for vegetables.
Zigily - ok generic name but not great, few variations though like zigili, zigli, zigilee, ziglee (problem is one of these variations have potential to usurp existing businesses)
Zagilly - this gets confusing to zag english word, plus prone to other variations, one being one one 'l' or two 'l' or zagilli, or zagili, or zagilli, zagilee etc etc.

@NameFit many thanks for looking over my names, I truly appreciate you taking the time to do this and providing such useful analyis. I take onboard all of your comments and this has led me to realise a few errors in my thinking and strategy.

With regard to your comment about 2nd hand and that in the US 'used' is preferred. I can see that I was thinking of the UK market where 'used' has a slightly negative tone as in end of life, past its best or even broken. The positive tone is second hand/2nd hand which portrays continuing use, more life left, quality that lasts. I think that if I want to use language like 2nd hand I should stick to .co.uk for the UK market and use 'used' with .com for the US market. This is a general sweeping statement and there will be exceptions to the rule of course.

Cosplay is a term used by fans of Sci f!, Fantasy and Gaming for when they dress up as characters. It is niche but a strong community.

Veg is short for vegetable and again in the UK is a common term. So like 2nd hand I need to think of the potential audience geographically when considering which God to use.

I think you are doing an admirable service for newcomers and established domainers alike. You are displaying the generosity of time and wisdom of experience that makes Namepros such a valuable forum.

Kind regards,
Somertonian

Well done @NameFit for helping out.
