1 WORD DOMAIN SHORT & BRANDABLE
For Sale By Owner
Premium
One Word Domain
Pronounceable
The reason .io domains are so valuable is because companies that use .io domains are known as being great at what they do. This blog post explains it well:
"These new .io sites are almost artisanal in nature - small, well crafted and functional. It's like a TLD for techies with taste."
They are also short, sound good, and .io domains perform well in Google's search results. The reason for this is because they've been added to the geotargetable domains list.
Microsoft bought Doc.io for $24,600, Elasticsearch just bought es.io for $30,000, cloud.io sold for $45,000 on Flippa, music.io sold on Flippa a couple weeks ago for $20,000, traffic.io sold on Flippa last week for $14,000, and fd.io, db.io, sports.io, mega.io, groups.io, etc.. recently sold for $10k+.
Domain Name Holdings reported that they sold a .io domain in Q2 of 2015 for 6-figures.
A lot of the tech startups that use .io domains are now very successful businesses, further reinforcing the idea that companies that use .io domains are "in the know" and part of the sophisticated tech crowd.
Check out just some of these examples:
FAQ
What information do I need to provide to begin the transfer process?
-Namecheap username
How long does this process take to complete?
The transfer process for a domain name may take anywhere from 3 to 8 days. The exact timeframe depends on the domain TLD, on the losing Registrar (how quickly they release the domain), and on the client (how quickly he or she prepares the domain for transfer, finds the approval email and clicks on the link). To speed up the process: once the domain is in Transfer Pending status, ask the losing Registrar to release it manually. And don't wait to click on the approval link โ it's valid for 7 days only, and the transfer won't be completed without
