discuss Domain "sets"

[robs01]

What kind of domain sets do people have in their portfolios?

For example: the same name in multiple extensions, or perhaps keyword variations or plurals in the same extension.

eg: abcd.com, abcd.net, abcd.org etc

eg: car.com, cars.com, automobile.com, automobiles.com

While I don't have any myself, I'm just curious if people have any or make any attempt to acquire such sets.

Have infosci • org / informed • science

because one is from 1993, the other is next gen and thought the juxtaposition in relation to extensions was interesting. Though am selling them separately as no one else is likely to come across the correlation nor care. Love this little hidden stuff actually.

Nice topic @robs01

Also, welcome to namePros.

Here's one example from my portfolio, both in .com

Household Robot
Housekeeping Robot​

I've acquired both names in 2019. The first one is more focused on home consumers, the second more on professional usage, like hotels and offices.

doma1nname.top

Perhaps you might want to add the UK English spelling to your collection ???

Neighbour/Neighbours

After all, it is a Commonwealth country since 1979 following their independence from Britain.

Thanks! Appreciate you looking out!
I'm good with the few names I have in the .VC ext. for now

Welcome to NP by the way and good luck to you!

I sometimes get the plural if it makes sense.

Trolldier / Trolldiers

Plus a handful of domains with "AF" as a modifier (think GuiltyAF, ShortAF, BiasedAF, etc.) Maybe someone would be interested in snagging up the whole thing (as a set) one day. #YouNeverKnow

All in .com.

That would be CoolAF

An update to this thread: I was trying to collect a domain set for around 2 decades... finally managed to achieve it a few months ago.

tldr; The domain set includes all keyword variations of Mini/Miniature + Oil/Kerosene + Lamp/Lamps in the dot com extension, ie:

Mini Oil Lamp . com
Mini Oil Lamps . com
Miniature Oil Lamp . com
Miniature Oil Lamps . com
Mini Kerosene Lamp . com
Mini Kerosene Lamps . com
Miniature Kerosene Lamp . com
Miniature Kerosene Lamps . com

(I'm a collector of those vintage lamps. The domains are not for sale.)

The full story about the frustrations and strategies of acquiring them all can be found here:

Welcome to NP and thanks for chiming in!
Here is a related thread that I recently posted which may be of interest to you.
Running a .com — Is It Worth Securing the .org or .net?

Personally, I only do it for short single-dictionary-words and 2 or 3-letter combinations.

Basically, power words and super short assets that command liquidity and/or demand.

The longer the word or once you venture into two-words or long-tails (3+ words), I don't see the point in multiple duplicate and plural registrations (Unless, it's for brand protection or you acquired it for the established traffic to redirect it).

For instance:

• 1 and 2-letter domains are generally considered liquid in any extension, so having some that may be duplicated in various extensions could still prove to be beneficial.
• 3 and 4-Letter dictionary-words are 50/50 in liquidity (Unless .com), as some extensions command more demand than others and increase the liquidity odds in your favor.
• 5 and 6-letter dictionary words start to get tricky, because you really need to have high-impact, high-demand and a highly desired niche-word to command any liquidity at all (E.g. Niches like: Financial, Adult, etc.)
• 7 to 9-Letter words sometimes grandfather into liquidity when they are considered premiums (But not always)
• 2-word domains are hit or miss unless it's Geo+Service / Geo+product or call-to-action (E.g. Buy+Product, Best+Service, etc.).. or similar, but again, no guarantee's on liquidity as each combination has different variables, demographics, and economies to asses for value.
• Then, you have to calculate the popularity, reach and demand of the TLD being used on each version which can scale up or down drastically (E.g. word.com vs word.ru or word.net vs word.info. In both comparisons if you applied the same word before the dot, the value would be drastically different.)

There's a lot more to it, but that's a starting point.

In short, I try to only repeat the same word or combination in my portfolio these days that have inherent liquidity of some kind. The days of the long-tails and two+ word generics are over for me (With the exception of a few brandable or special circumstance acquisitions with documentation and/or research to justify the risk).

Guess I'm getting older and less trigger happy.

At any rate, everyone does it differently, that's just how I've started looking at it these days.

I enjoy 4L .coms and will occasionally bid more if it is similar to one I already own.

I own DHUV and when KHUV became available, I grabbed that too.

I think I bought UBWO and UVWO from someone else. If there was another _HUV.com or another U_WO.com, I would probably bid on or buy them just to have a set.

There was a guy here a while back who was collecting domain names related to I think gravestones.
