Dave Evanson (of sedo) just reported in his FB page that he brokered
webhosting.co.uk @$500,000

that is a nice sale imo!

not sure if this is the right place for this thread, (mods?)

Thank for your post.
I think here is the right place, this post will help others can see value of a domain

Probably either here or Domain Industry News..Either way, thanks for sharing.

That's a heck of a nice sale for a heck of a nice domain

 

[ProSence]

Very nice sale. This helped me sell a similar domain these days as I made this information known for my clients and got a deal.

For those who say the value of the .co.uk is going down. well here is a strong example that great keywords always sell. Great sale.

 

[NetOctave]

Its a nice name and a highly competetive industry. Good for the seller ...

OK, just flying by to pi$$ on all you lots cornflakes. LOL

"An idiot does not a smart buyer make"

This idiot buyer will soon be pounded out carried out on a stretcher

.co.uk domains don't get that much type-ins (if that) compared to the .com

Typical dreamer:
- He spent $500,000 - now he has no more money for advertising (google etc)
- Or his other ventures will subsidize this losing venture

The days when you could put up a site with a bunch of affiliate links & make tons of money are long gone

Users, most simply just type in "web hosting" in the Google search engine...
All this type-in shit is just a domainer soundbite meme.
It will not provide an adequate return or sustain an $500,000 "investment"

Type-ins, if that, constitute a tiny fraction of the visitors to any site.
Type-ins might be great (wind behind your sails) if the cost of the name was reg fee or very low...but for $500,000...they should be expecting a huge return ...and a free daily massage. LOL

PS
Give it 1-2 year & this domain will be back on the market after he sees the miniscule annual return (from the $500,000 principal)...

And the above is without even considering the overhanging issue of new .UK domains...bwahaha

:bah:
