domain Value of suggest.domains?

[scriptdude]

Estibot gives me a $1,300 valuation. How accurate is that number?

What would your valuation be?

$0-$10 for now.
It may hold some value in 5 years but until then you will have spent most of the profit margin renewing the domain. There are far better domains available for reg fee. Plus, don't give any attention to estibot.

Hello,

I agree. If developed into a web board where people can suggest available domains etc, it's a different thing.

It's not accurate, it's very approximate.

Where do you see the value in this domain? How is it going to help a business make money?

As a business, the same as domainsbot.com, domainr.com, etc. A suggest engine with affiliate links.
The value seemed to me in the brand potential (one word, extension extends the language used, easy to remember, distinct enough to be unique).

I agree with kohsamui that I should probably develop it into such an engine first, let it grow a following, and then sell it as a site, not a domain name.

Yes, it is well suited to such a use. However, the domain itself does not offer a unique business advantage, and therefore it is going to be difficult to make a nice sale on a domain alone basis, as you already seem to have recognised.

it's a worthless name because it's backwards and improper, where the correct usage would be "domain suggestions".


in the future, don't use the bot to make registration decisions.

imo....
