83% .COM. 75% Multi-Word. 63% GoDaddy. The Domain Market Has a Pattern Nobody Is Talking About.

Domain Market Insights — March 12th, 2026

Just pulled the numbers from the NameBio daily report and a few things jumped out immediately. Sharing for anyone tracking market trends:

.COM still owns the room — 83.6% of all $500+ domain sales were .com extensions. Every other TLD combined didn't even crack 17%. If you've been sitting on the fence about extension diversification, the secondary market data keeps telling the same story.

Short names dominate — but not the way you'd think — Over 75% of premium sales were 2-word or 3+ word domains combined. Pure one-word plays made up just 24.8% of transactions. Buyers are clearly comfortable with descriptive, compound names — especially in the $500–$5K range.

GoDaddy's grip is tightening — 63.4% of all analyzed $500+ sales cleared through GoDaddy. That's nearly 2 out of every 3 premium domain transactions on a single platform.

Interesting data. .COM dominance in the aftermarket is still very clear.

Interesting data. .COM dominance in the aftermarket is still very clear.

Definitely .com factor is an intersting data. But more intersting is GoDaddy with .com combination. Even if you have .com domains, these are not yielding desired results in other platforms.
