domain DomainPortfolio.io

[Brandon.Domains]

Let me know what you think about DomainPortfolio.io

As you probably already know, .io is popular for tech, internet and startup sites. If I needed a domain to show off my domain portfolio for sale, I'd definitely love to have DomainPortfolio.io - it's just perfect.

But that's just me - what is your opinion and approximate price range appraisal for this domain?

Thanks in advance!

Brandon

Just personal preference..I wouldn't want to put my portfolio at DomainPortfolio.anything. Too long and too generic / not unique / not a brand..you get the point.
I'd say high xx max..
But who knows
If I were to buy it, it would be for a website theme I was creating and selling..or for promoting landing pages I was designing for people.. Something like that.

Same reason why I don't use it myself but it doesn't have to be the domainer's main site. It could be an aggregated list of participating domainers getting more views on their domains by cross-promotion.

Also, everybody has his own opinion. You and I prefer brand over generic but there will be people who will like DomainPortfolio.io better. And you can't forget the domain name. Domain Portfolio dot i(in/buy) o(out/sell).

It's often difficult to remember the name of a branded site you visited some time ago but didn't bother to bookmark and suddenly need to go back to.

In that sense, you could simply redirect DomainPortfolio.io to your branded site. It's not a domain name shortener but it's very very difficult to forget.

Thanks,
Brandon

As others said, you might a couple of hundred from a domainer. Anyway, IMO showcasing .COMs etc. on an .IO domain wouldn't work at all and others might feel the same.

You've asked for an appraisal on a name in a space/segment that is where you are actively engaged because it's too long, not a brand, etc. So you are representative of the market and wouldn't buy it from yourself.

Who is going to pay for a name to aggregate a list of participating domains by cross-promotion? What does that even mean? You mean like Afternic?

DomainPortfolio.io better. And you can't forget the domain name. Domain Portfolio dot i(in/buy) o(out/sell).

Stretching..... .io has been adopted by many as a cheap alternative domain. Yes, io means input output in short hand. If you add a G you get gigo too - either way, you can't arbitrary choose to change i to buy and o to sell just because you thought of it. 80% of people don't get IO. Of the remaining 20% who's going to get your creative reinterpretation?

This is the same as pronounceable domainers. XTRMZ is not pronounceable as Extremes even if you want it to be

It's often difficult to remember the name of a branded site you visited some time ago but didn't bother to bookmark and suddenly need to go back to.

Rarely happens in real life and why would someone need to suddenly go back to a domain marketplace? The argument might have some validity until you apply logic. No one ever said.... oh what's the name of that domain listing I went to 60 days ago... I simply must find it! If they wanted a "name" they should remember that name and search for it and hope it was indexed.

In that sense, you could simply redirect DomainPortfolio.io to your branded site. It's not a domain name shortener but it's very very difficult to forget.

So your next sales tactic is to hope someone finds significant value in a dot io as a redirect as a long shortener.

I'm only posting because lesson:

1. The more ideas and concepts you have to make up to make the name worth something. The less valuable it probably is.
2. You're asking for an appraisal at the #1 place on the internet to find potential end users and some people are being nice by appraising it higher because they can see potential. You end-user base sees potential but no one has offered anything, right?
3. Domainers / Bloggers are cheap. You can make money reselling $x domains but not those with minimum $30 renewal.

This post is worth more of my time than the domain is worth.

So many things to reply to but thanks for sharing your views. It's not about the money, I'll probably keep the domain for myself.

Through the StorageSpace.io auction and created publicity, I have indeed received two offers for DomainPortfolio.io. You can view my current domains I have parked at Flippa.

Also, you call .io a cheap alternative but the extension is relatively expensive (certainly more expensive than a regular .com).

If you have some time, check out Wikipedia's article about .io:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.io

It's a ccTLD and was actually intended for use by entities connected with the British Indian Ocean Territory. But most registered domains have little or anything related to the territory itself.

Excerpt:

The .io-domain has considerable usage unrelated to the British Indian Ocean Territory.

"Nowadays, a lot of TLDs are used without any relation to the original country, such as .ly, .io, .me." — Jens Segers - Founder of Auki.io

IO is also commonly used in IT as an abbreviation for input/output, which makes the .io domain useful for domain hacks and services wanting to be associated with technology.

"We took it because it refers to ‘input-output’. And our customers (mostly tech savvy people) understand it like so." — Ben Verbeken - Seats.io CEO​

It is interesting to see how some TLDs intended for domestic use have evolved and are often no longer associated with the territory.

io = one zero - 10 - IO (geeky )
io = In Out
io = Input Output
io = I O

So many possibilities. It's fascinating that ccTLDs like ly, .io, or .me. have evolved that far.

Thanks,
Brandon

I'm not going to answer everything since it is pretty much been answered (domainers are your enduser, domainers don't pay a lot for domains like this, this isn't anything premium, dot io hurts this).

But there is more than one meaning of "cheap". One is pricewise and one is quality. The dollar store has products that match both. But if another store was to sell dollar store kitchen gadgets (for example) at a higher price than top end quality brand kitchen gadgets... why would people buy them? That is sort of what you are doing here. Dot IO costing more per year in renewal fees is just one more reason not to use it for this. There ARE good dot io domains out there, but they tend to be very focused on brandables and tech spaces. Domains are tech, but not in the same way - domainers are really a whole different category. Renewal price does not make something better...

Do I sense some hostility here? How long did it take you to look up the threads, misinterpret the facts and then write this reply? I could refute each and every point but guess what? I don't waste my working time with things like that and rather spend it on making money.

I just sold a domain on Sedo for $1,100 probably at the same time you were wasting your time with this

Be nice & peace out,

Brandon

Just think , we could all have been selling a name for $1100 instead of taking the time to evaluate a $0 name... what a waste of resources!

 

[Impaler The Vlad]

I'm not even sure I would register domainportfolio.com

It's as flavorful as water. Startups do use dot io but this name defines very little for a startup.

 

[TERADOMAIN]

DomainNames.io sold for $1600 on Flippa 10 days ago. Anything is possible as long as you get right buyer.

Best of Luck..

 

[MarkedOne]

Would fetch between $200 - $800.

 

[MarkedOne]

lend.io went for $3050

 

[Brandon.Domains]

Would fetch between $200 - $800.

After all the input reading here and checking some more data, that would be my estimate as well. I already had an offer for $250.

Thanks,
Brandon
