Hand reg V re-seller market

[Tas Devil]

I have been reading NamePros avidly over the last two months, new as I am to the industry. If you could package up the wealth of info here and distill it down, it would be worth a mint I'm sure.

I was wondering if I could ask what percentage of your domain portfolios are hand regged versus purchased on the re-seller market. I am just wondering if there is any continuity here.

80/20 for me.

Thanks for all the great threads.

~ 65% / ~35% for me, IMHO.

I'm including acquisitions from those in Wholesale/Reseller, those whom I contacted & negotiated via email / Whois / landing pages, etc. and the drop services such as Snapnames and Pool in the second ~35% figure, as well. :talk: :imho:

70/ 30 for me..

Handregged <5%, Purchased >95%

70% fresh regs, 30% purchases.

I'm a fan of fresh regged names. quality underdogs!

About 95% hand regs, 5% purchases

Same, about 95% hand regs and 5% bought.

If you choose one over the other, it makes little difference in my book. It takes tons of research to find the best names either way.

This is what I figured some time back, about research that is, I was just starting to get the feeling that most 'sucessfull' domainers chose the secondary market. That's obviously not the case.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not so scared now.

Isn't the percentage irrelevant because it depends on when you hand regged and bought via reseller?


If you have 80/20, and the 80% hand regged is mainly from 1999-2000, the portfolio is probably much better than if the 80% hand regged is from the past year.
