domain TheGlobalSupport.com appraisal

[Sohaib Hasan]

I acquired this recently which has decent search volume. I bought it considering there are many global support groups, forums, agencies etc around the world who could see value in it. Expert comments needed.

The problem with the domain is that it is very overly generic and non-unique, which makes it hard to interest a company, because the domain is not distinctive.

i would like it better without it having 'the' at the start - if it was just two words (globalsupport) i think it would sell but prob not for lots due it being a bit generic as above

 

[Sohaib Hasan]

Yeah, I couldn't get global support.com so I acquired with the "the" only. Got it like for $2 so I thought its not that bad

 

[paul79]

if you got it for that you should deffo turn a bit of a profit on it then i think

Personally, I wouldn't do this. With domaining, aim to get the highest quality terms available. Anything else will be a poor substitute and may not sell. The result is you have a large portfolio of unsellable names. Insist on the best, be strict with quality. If one opportunity is not available, move on, as there are plenty more. People will not buy low quality names.

Yeah I am coming to that conclusion. I bought some domain like this just to make a large portfolio thinking that a large portfolio increases chances of sales. Newbie mistake! Now I am focusing more on acquiring names that have value.

Yeah I am trying to contact people for this domain, especially some groups & individuals on LinkedIn. Hope I can make a decent sale out of this one.
