Value Jesus.com christian.com church.com

[toben]

I am considering making offers on these.

Can you help me ballpark where I should begin?

Estimates? Valuations?

 

[Pound]

I would put them at a minimum of $xxx,xxx each.

 

[AussieDomainer]

I would think these are worth low to mid $XXX,XXX each as they are short, generic keywords with an extremely large following.

 

[namewaiter]

ooops ... first 2 are 7 figure domains, last one is mid-upper 6 figure

 

[Aggro]

Good luck - or hope you have a massive budget...

B/c these names would have been targeted by Kevin Ham who most likely tried before but failed... :imho:

 

[weblord]

for a christian it's priceless,
it can be 6 figures for each

 

[Spade]

As I said in chat - these names are exceptionally valuable. Im sure there are several religious organizations who would love to get their hands on them. I believe these are worth upwards of a million each - high xxx,xxx +

 

[Broker]

I would say easy 7 figures each.

 

[domainer50]

Lots of money

 

[onewordonly]

Yes they would be in the high ranges as mentioned. I would personally go after ones with .org for this sort of thing i.e. church.org... .com is about money & business in most cases, Jesus etc is more suited to an organization using org or even Jesus.info would be great!

Jesus.com was for sale for a *long* time, and a million could not touch it. That was back in the days with the "shower with Jesus" promotion. It would be way over a million now.

I think Jesus.net sounds better anyway, he was more of a networking type guy than the commercial type :blink: (+ its for sale on sedo)

A million for Jesus.com would certainly be a bargain by at least an order of magnitude, probably more ...

It's an LLLLL.com (5 letters) CVCVC pronounceable. Compare that with the 6-letter "Christ" .com (a CCCVCC combination - really don't see many of those on the market, so may be difficult to find many recent sales prices for a good comparison - "Church.com" is a CCVCCC though, maybe in the same ballpark.) ... I read somewhere that a 1% share of Christ .com had once been offered for $300 trillion US - probably would be a bit more now since the value of the US dollar has decreased significantly since then. (Not sure if that was even a serious offer though - apparently a free oven mitt was offered along with the 1% share of the domain).

Now granted C, H, R, I, S, and T are all super-premium letters with very strong acronym potential - while the J and the U in "Jesus" are lower-frequency letters in the English language ... Still, there are 26 times as many LLLLLL.com combinations as LLLLL.com combinations, and the scarcity premium is not a linear function - it tends to go exponential at the tipping point between supply and demand.

Also, important to keep in mind that "Jesus" is a very popular first name in Spanish-speaking countries, so that's got to add a lot more value as well - while "Christ" is a quasi-transliteration of the Greek word Χριστός (Christós) ... Now, while the Greek-language online market is certainly up-and-coming, it seems like there may be more competition from IDN urls in that space going forward. Also seems likely that there will be quite a bit more growth potential for Spanish-language internet addresses in the long run.

But what do I know ... I've just been buying and selling a few unpronounceable LLLL.com domains here and there - for a lot less than a million dollars (so far!)

Well - good luck with your acquisitions - it would be hard to overpay for any of these. Or to pay for them at all, really, unless you're buying for the Vatican ....

Not sure why Jesus.net is listed at Sedo since the owner says on his website that his names including Jesus.net are not for sale:
http://www.christ.com/lohinfo.html#faqbuyname

Anyway, I agree Jesus would choose .NET, after all His followers became fishers of men.

I got www.JesusChrist.net, and wouldn't sell it for a million.
Currently it is in the top 20 on Google for search term "Jesus".

If anybody is keen to help develop JesusChrist.net, let me know... I especially need somebody good at PHP.
I have big plans... A website for all things Jesus, and perhaps integrate into it a kind of "Jesus Christ centered Social Network"...

Blessings

Small world! I own Jesus.net. Not sure why I list it on Sedo. I have never claimed to be the most consistent guy on earth.

and Blessings in return!

I really don't believe that the length or letters make any difference in this instance, its jesus.com everyone has heard of jesus knows how to spell it and who he is. If jesus was spelled Zuxwyq it would still be the same price. If sold the money would most likely be coming from and end user who wouldn't care about letter quality. :yell:

hmmmm .... mebbe so, mebbe so I reckon you might have a point there. End users do tend to look at the market a bit differently than resellers.

I'm tempted to adopt your brilliant "if jesus was spelled Zuxwyq it would still be the same price." quote in my signature as an "anti-premium letter liberation" rallying cry ... (Probably should go reg Zuxwyq.com first though.) Hmmmm ....

(Well, apparently my discretion-to-valor ratio monitor is triggering the "step away from the computer" alert for me now ... Ah ... To be clear - just joking around a bit in the previous post, certainly no offense intended to believers or domainers of any ilk! Not sure how well humor and discussion of domaining and/or religion mix outside of the Discordian faith though ... Though would expect any truly intelligent creator to have a strange sense of humor - as so many of us seem to be living proof ...)

Bottom line is that all the domains listed seem to be very much in the "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" category ... (or possibly also somewhere in the [doncorleone]"go to talk to that domainer ... make him an offer he can't refuse"[/doncorleone] realm, if it came down to it. But there I go again ... J/K!!!)

wwjd?

 

[networkmsia]

Some of the replies you might receive from the owners are, I am sorry, Its Not for sale. :lol:

Jesus.com is currently in the "wrong hands." Been wanting to get a domain like this. The closest to a premium Christian domain i have is gentiles.info, i even have doubts of selling this.

Blessing with wisdom and finances to Toben in getting the domains he mentioned.
