discuss How can people say that there are no TLD premium names left?

It's ridiculous. I just bought a few in the last year that were never taken before.

Private.com
Lets.com
Holiday.com
These are all premium domains.
Any combonations of these are domains and might even be considered good, but not "Premium".

Good names, decent names, interesting names, valuable names, they all can still be hand-registered. I register about 60 of such names every month and sell a good number of them.

But, “premium”? I don’t think so. Most domainers, and especially newbies, should drop the word premium from their vocabulary.

It is also a mistake to say, “this name will be premium once I develop it”. From a domainer’s perspective, the only thing that should matter is how valuable the domain is right now, not if developped. Any domain, regardless of how ugly and non-premium it is, can be built into a valuable site, but that’s a different matter.

Those people appear to have experience in the business. Get some for yourself

jamesall, you appear to be listening, I can appreciate that. This business (like any other business) has a certain learning curve. The faster that you can accept constructive criticism, the faster you will ascend that curve

To avoid much monetary loss (which u would understand next year), u should use your eyes here more than your fingers, atleast for the 1st 6 months...!!

After a couple of years here, when u would read your first few threads, you would ask yourself "what was I thinking???"
This is pretty common.

Just read as of now.

Ok. I am starting to understand better what you mean.

Do adjectives constitute a premium domain?

IMHO this is what constitutes a premium domain:

1. Factor is DEMAND.
2.Length.
3. Popularity of the term/Overall Brandability.
4. Development Potential.
5.Age.

Explained visually:

Do adjectives constitute a premium domain?

Adjectives, which describe a noun, can make a premium domain or can remove all the value. It depends.

For example, we can all agree that Loan.com is a premium domain name.

If we add the adjective "red" to it, it becomes RedLoan.com -- which is worth less (maybe not completely worthless if there is a company named like this or you think a company *might* be named like it in the future).

But what if we choose the adjective "quick"? Then it becomes QuickLoan.com, which gets about 50,000 searches per month at a $10 cost-per-click. That is a valuable domain name -- a premium domain name.

What if we add 2 adjectives to Loan.com? QuickNowLoan.com? Worthless. Kinda similar to PrivateHolidayLets.com -- not to be mean.

I came here to learn from experienced domain sellers. Yet in here and on other sites that sell domains in other languages there are many complaining that there are no good names left.

This technology we have now will be old in about 10 years because of all the emerging technologies and trends. Surely that in itself means that there is always room for new TLD registrations.

.com will always be king.

Name a tech that is looking to disrupt the domain industry?
What... .bit going to take over? Is Namecoin even around still? Understanding the difference between a digital asset and digital technology goes a long way. Bitcoin will always be king not because it has the best utility but because it had first mover advantage and came before greed. Other utility tokens will succeed, like new gTLDs, but they won't hold the same value as those that come before greed, greed factor is when new assets are overproduced and overbought – this applies to any kind of asset or collectible.

 

[slader23]

I suggest you spend some time learning what a "premium domain" actually constitutes before wasting your time asking such questions because it's very multifaceted and without proper knowledge it will be very hard for you to make money in domains.

Don't take this personally, you'll understand why with time.

Not necessarily.

Thank you all for taking the time to answer. Like I said I am new to this and want to learn. Great information and examples.

Most domainers, and especially newbies, should drop the word premium from their vocabulary.

Some of the blame is on registrars. "Premium" is often used for ANY domain put up for sale. Put "CatFart.com" for sale on Godaddy and they label it a "Premium Domain".

 

[NYJimbo]

PrivateHolidayLets.com is one of them.

Don't really think that is a premium name, but maybe others will chime in.

I also love the services that make up a name and then get to work of bringing the brand to their focus customer base. I have already read a LOT of old threads here. I just checked my log and see that I have committed violations as well. Still learning. Not trying to step to toes or ruffle feathers.

Ok so that's my last question here.

I agree about .com and even .co.uk because people in the UK are used to searching for that TLD. In scandinavia .com is not as valuable as their own TLDs so I am used to buying for the market I am aiming to reach.

.nu is from naui I think. In many languages that means .now and is also popular.

This made me understand. So I understand that all the good English words are taken.

not a premium lol

Already established and explained. Thank you for the input.

I don't give my students a hard time for turning up at the educational establishment and say "You dumb guys what you doing here?". Neither do the ex-students hang out in the corridors to tell them the same.

It might not be a premium but I am sure glad that I thought of it.

Peace gentlemen and ladies. World Cup final soon. Time for a cool beer.
