nGTLD's valuations

[Name Trader]

Is there something like Estibot for the nGTLD's?

@kohsamui - I agree that the other stuff Estibot provides is quite useful. It's domain name stripper, I use daily. It's the most stable domain name stripper I've ever used. So what valuation tool do you like best?

Back on topic. I'm never really sure when using Estibot to value nGLTD's, whether the value they come up with is actually valuing the nGTLD I'm asking it about.

Actually, I like Estibot the best, but you obviously have to use it with some common sense. Many categories of domains will be overvalued, while some good domains (with sales potential) will get a zero dollar valuation. However, domainers who have been tracking sales for a few years (or more) can probably adjust these results by themselves.

For new gTLDs, I think it's impossible to set up a good valuation tool yet. The number of data is still too limited to create the necessary algorithms. Maybe Google will make one five years from now, or so?!

Unfortunately I would not trust publicly-reported sales from the new TLD registries as a gauge of value in that extension. While there are a few rare individuals who are generating positive cash flow from new TLDs, I believe the vast majority of new TLD participants are going to be very disappointed five years from now.

Estibot can not parse correctly some new gTLDs from my experience, but overall it is very useful tool. I have run thousands of new gTLDs over it, and it can really show you some interesting points which otherwise you might miss. It can not handle correctly few domain types, especially .VIP domains, where it does not really recognize value of some very premium .VIP domain names. But I am sure it will improve as time will go.
