domain filestart.com appraise please.

[Swoosh]

I've bought the filestart.com domain a few months ago because I couldn't left it there So now I need to know for how much I should start selling this domain or should I start a file host myself with it?

 

[ApeXX]

To be quite honest I don't see very much potential with just the name alone. Low $XX. Your best bet would be to try and brand it yourself :imho: .

 

[Swoosh]

Thank you for your opinion, but domains like rapidshare.de are worth really much and I think filestart.com is a domain that can compete with those domains. So that's why I don't get that it is only worth low XX

 

[ApeXX]

The reason I gave it that appraisal is because rapid share and megaupload both have names that are directly related to the service:

Rapid Share: What does that tell you? It shares files, rapidly.

Mega Upload: What does that tell you? You can upload mega files.



File Start: What does that tell you? You can start files???


Now I know there are exceptions to these questions (FileFront), however without some work put into it, I probably wouldn't buy the domain alone for over reg fee. I personally don't think it is a very catchy name, and not something I would remember if I only heard it once.


Remember all apraisals are :imho: .

Edit: Was trying to explain that in layman's terms, if you would like more detail lemme' know.

I get it , I'm going to start a small file upload site where you can "start" to upload your files

Well, any short domain like filestart.com can do well as a file host. All it needs is someone (like you) to develop the site and advertise. My friend has a domain really similar to yours and although it would be worth maybe low $xx if he sold it, he decided to develop and after the first month he is already making $200+/mo. Not bad for a little file host.

Rapidshare and megaupload are worth a lot of money because they are developed. If you develop your site and its as successful as those, then it will be worth a lot of money. But as far as the domain itself, I'd appraise it at reg fee - low $xx.

Nice name for development. Low $xx undeveloped resale value, Possibly three figures to an end user. Good Luck

High $x,xxx,xxx IMHO

Thank for the information guys, I'm working on it now.
