.com Is it worth to buy 5 letter .com domain today?

[toworkwith]

Hello,

I am in very destabilize situation because i can not find the perfect opinion to buy a 5 letter .com domain in thousands of dollars. It would be great if anyone of you help me in making my decision.

Thank you in advance.

Not only 5L letters even 6/7 /8/9/10L or more also worth buying if it represents something.

Hi

no one can tell you what to buy or how much to pay for it, when they don't know what the actual domain is

to advise buying any random 5 letter c.om would be foolish

imo...

You can save thousands and stabilize the situation by hand regging an available name such as:
CloudBaseApplications.com
CloudBaseApps.com
Cludw.com
etc.

 

[wwwulff]

my consultant said he can make this deal in less then $20000

In my eyes cludx is a reg fee or max low $xx name and I would find a better name and fire your consultant (either he is totally incompetent or he knows the owner of the name)

 

[wwwulff]

Only the Name.

Then I would find another and better name if I was you - You can post a requests with a budget and see which names you are offered - You can do it in this sector:

It would be great if you suggest me the price for cludx.com as my business consultant is forcing my for this domain.

I suggest $3 maximum because that's the time value of its remaining registration and also because names of equal quality (cludw.com, cludv.com, etc.) can be hand regged for $5.99. I also recommend a letter sequence other than c-l-u-d and a new business consultant. Good luck!

@ecalc you're right, there are many domains out there can be hand reg but "cloud" brand name (namebio.com) cost a lot of money, but for "clud", it's absolutely lower than 20k$

Hi

a consultant can speak on legal issues regarding the business
however, he may not be qualified to advise which names to buy or how much to pay for them

sure, the expense can be charged against revenue, but for a startup, half of that amount of cash could be applied to other areas of the company/

there are much better domains available, which may describe the type of service, for less than $20k

imo...

Not sure but my consultant said he can make this deal in less then $20000. This price is making me confuse and that's why i am here for suggestions.

If you have good names for sell, feel free to suggest and tell me the price.

I happen to specialise in five letter domains (owning hundreds) and I would not even hand register cludx.com. It’s not a good idea to start a business on a name that looks like a $9 name.

To get an idea of values for short brandables, I’d like to suggest you peruse sites like Brandpa.com and BrandBucket.com. Or try googling “brandable domain sales” or “short domains for sale” or something.

To give you an idea about price expectations, there was a recent BrandBucket report released and the average sale price was around $2,500.

@GinQt204 mentioned NameBio.com which is a good idea. You can find a field there where you can input the word “cloud” either at the beginning or end of a hypothetical domain (like a wild card), specify “.com” and pull up a list of domains sold containing the word “cloud” with prices.

Also, trying to express “cloud” plus “saas” (or “hosting” or “development”) in only five letters is almost impossible, unless you are willing to accept some sort of metaphor that somehow implies what your business is about.

Hope this is helpful somehow. Will send you a PM.

Thank you for you advice MadMax and Biggie.

MadMax, what do you mean by "represents something"?

Biggie, the domain in am interesting to by is "cludx.com" and what is your advise now?

I thought you were talking about a dictionary word or something, this domain isn't worth that much imo.

 

[wwwulff]

Biggie, the domain in am interesting to by is "cludx.com" and what is your advise now?

It is a running web hosting company as far as I can see?

 

[toworkwith]

Thanks for your advice DB Perfect but what do you suggest for its alternative? I want something related to Cloud and Development so which available domain name you suggest or even available to buy?

 

[toworkwith]

You are right "wwwulff" but i got the offer to buy it as i am interesting to start the business which offers Cloud Base Applications (SaaS). Do you think its a good domain name? Or what is your suggestion?

 

[wwwulff]

got the offer to buy it

Only the name or name and business?

 

[mAd MaX]

Not only 5L letters even 6/7 /8/9/10L or more, also worth buying if it represents something.

Thank you for you advice MadMax and Biggie.

Amazon 6L Insurance 9L etc.

Only the Name.

CloudBaseApps.com
Cludw.com
etc.

That great suggestion and for my surprise, all are available.

The reason for cludx or cludw (which seems a good name) that i want to stick with least letters. What do domain do you suggest within 5 letters for Cloud Developers? Also it is easy to pronounce and easy to remember.

 

[toworkwith]

Not only 5L letters even 6/7 /8/9/10L or more, also worth buying if it represents something.

Amazon 6L Insurance 9L etc.

I got your point so what do you suggest for cludx.com? Do you think it is a great business name? Primary objective to remain closest to Cloud Developers (Cloud Base Application/Services) but again request that it must be 5L maximum and no limit for minimum?

 

[toworkwith]

Biggie, wwwulf and Ecalc,

You guys seem very much experienced and helpful. It would be great if you suggest me the price for cludx.com as my business consultant is forcing my for this domain. He said it has very high potential to become as brand and only 5 letters and easy to remember and so much. I am also agree with my business consultant but not agree with the price he is offering to buy this domain.

So it is requested to all of you to suggest me the price for this domain so i can make my decision.

Thank you in advance.

 

[wwwulff]

the price for this domain

What does the owner want for cludx?

If you have good names for sell, feel free to suggest and tell me the price.

 

[TDL]

cludx.com is taken by another company. I think they will not sell their domain at this time.

 

[toworkwith]

So 2 most experienced persons "Ecalc and Wwwulff" made very sold argument and I am not going to follow my consultant and believe that it does not worth to buy this domain in 20K.

Wwwulff, i can not replace my business consultant at this time because he is also doing some legal work for my new startup. Anyhow.

What domain names you both suggest? I have no doubt that domain suggested by Ecalc are awesome.
