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.

Lol,

Although, I do have tres-dos-uno.com in Spanish. I like this hyphenated version of wontwothree.com which was picked up from Mr Mann's dropped list. Very positive meaning. Not everyone likes hyphens. Can you believe that. Some people never learn lol!!!

Although the IDN in that list does have two hyphens, it means Mount Fuji in Japanese and that term isn't hyphenated.

Here is an interesting bit of background intel on the subject.

The member @Robbie has put up a post ( https://www.namepros.com/threads/domains-owned-by-the-castello-brothers-inc.1194758/ ) linking to his blog and concerning the domains that are owned by the David and Michael Castello (not exactly newbies to the domaining game :xf.wink:).

I have gone through the list to see if there was anything of interest, and the immediate thing that jumps out is the number of hyphened domains they own. (It should be stressed that from the list the unhyphenated are far more numerous than the hyphenated domains, but I think the results would surprise many.)

Firstly, the hyphened domains the Castello brothers own where they also own the exact same unhyphenated domains:

apache-junction.com
baracoa-cuba.com
canoga-park.com
cathedral-city.com
david-castello.com
delray-beach.com
golf-club.com
hobe-sound.com
huatulco-mexico.com
island-of-youth.com
isle-of-youth.com
jessica-michelle.com
jibaco-cuba.com
jupiter-island.com
merritt-island.com
miami-design-district.com
michael-seven.com
palm-canyon-drive.com
palm-spring.com
singer-island.com
viti-levu.com

Now the list of hyphenated domains where the Castello brothers do not own the unhyphenated domain:

augusta-georgia.com
basse-terre.com
belize-city.com
berkeley-california.com
berlin-germany.com
bonnie-parker.com
boynton-beach.com
buena-park.com
cayo-coco.com
culver-city.com
fort-pierce.com
glen-cove.com
hermosa-beach.com
indian-creek-florida.com
isla-de-la-juventud.com
isla-vista.com
jensen-beach.com
juno-beach.com
la-habana.com
lake-havasu.com
lake-louise.com
lake-placis.com
lake-worth.com
long-beach.com
macho-picchu.com
marina-delray.com
marina-del-ray.com
Menlo-park.com
mexico-city-mexico.com
michael-castello.com
nashville-tennessee.com
negril-jamaica.com
ocean-ridge.com
ontario-california.com
orlando-golf.com
osaka-japan.com
pacific-palisades.com
palm-beach-gardens.com
palm-city.com
palm-desert.com
palm-springs-california.com
palm-springs-golf.com
palm-springs-real-estate.com
palos-verdes.com
panama-beach.com
park-city.com
parma-italy.com
pearl-harbour.com
raliegh-north-carolina.com
rancho-cucamonga.com
rancho-mirage.com
riviera-beach.com
san-francisco-california.com
santa-monica-california.com
satellite-beach.com
Sonoma-valley.com
stamp-collector.com
studio-city.com
sun-city.com
surf-city.com
universal-city.com
venice-california.com
ventura-california.com
white-plains.com
wild-west.com
winter-haven.com

Look at the number of hyphened Geo's in the list, amazing.

Just thought this might be some good background information for everyone.

We own both for HillsboroBeach.com :)

...... and of course the people who are vehemently against them are some of the non-hyphenated .com holders, those specifically with an interest in rubbishing the hyphenated domains.

Strange that a recent report of the top 1 million websites showed that 8.5% of them were hyphenated domains, yet the number of hyphenated domains is NOT 8.5% of the total of domains registered.

I'm German
they say Germans love hyphens
thats BS

it more complex

hyphens don't make a domain good or bad

I agree. So it would seem do more and more website owners.

that doesn't prove anything
we are talking about selling domains here, right?

posting a lot of sales of hyphenated domains in the low xxx dollar range does only prove that hyphen domain are not so great to me

just because they are available for handreg
and used by people who don't want to spend money on a domain
and then are used for business

doesn't make it good investment for domainers

@frank-germany Must remember that if you see a 100 marks note on the ground you would walk past it as it is not 'worth the effort'. Oh sorry, you use that Euro thing now don't you.
