Seems as though Coronavirus is trending.

Prior to coronavirus.info being mentioned here.
Coronavirusinfo.com wasn't regged. It is now! Not mine. Lol

There wasn't much.

Best recent reg has to be Coronavirus.org (it works!)

taken before in

.com
.net
.org (now)
.cn
And mine
Coronavirus.es
Coronavirus.eu
Coronavirus.us

I should have reg these but they are taken now.

.in
.co
.io

Wouldn't go too crazy. I'd do exact match only this one not Coronavirus+keyword.

I'd say any Asian country near China and it's extension should be good.

I have yet to see any domains related to corona / covid19 be sold on NameCheap, GoDaddy, AfterNIC, Sedo, NameBio et c. Not even seeing any GD bidding on them.
Well the Mann sold Corona//care// in king for $2k+ early February. Just saying:xf.cool:

This thread makes me sick.
In my country, Italy, people are dying, I've my mother that can't go outside her home because if she gets infected she has a high chance to die.
I've friends that are losing jobs, friends that are desperate.
And this is spreading all over the world.
And what do you do about it?
Register domains related to a virus to earn some money (that you will never earn)?
Karma is a bit*h, don't forget about it.
About to write same - agreed . I am not going to buy or register single corona domain . Corona is a deadly virus not trend do remember guys . Pray for world :(

If you are proud about it I'm happy for you.
I've been in this industry for 12 years now and I've never seen anyone getting profits with this kind of sh*t.
So my only satisfaction is to think you are wasting your money.

Domainers do as domainers do. I registered a few because I felt so inclined.

I tried to keep it simple in difficult times, i.e. novavaccine .com

Hey Cannuck, we think alike, I got NovelVaccine.com :xf.grin:

My virus related domains (all open for reasonable offers):

VirusDrug.com

VirusMedicine.com

NovelVaccine.com

VirusVaccine.org

An interesting domains I missed out on. Someone just regged these this month. Very smart because many healthcare workers ended up getting Coronavirus because hospitals and the government did not provide proper equipment for healthcare workers while they cared for coronavirus victims.

These are effectively Coronavirus Injury caused by Hospitals and Governments negligence to protect them.

If we survive this virus, there will be lawsuits.

If these workers die God forbid, there will be lawsuits eventually. Think of how companies allowed workers to work with asbestos and how many lawsuits there are now for mesothelioma?

So the domains I missed? CoronavirusInjury.com and InjuryCoronavirus.com.

Covidinjury.com
Covid19injury.com

Some lawyers in the future will want these.

Namecheap has stopped allowing domain names including the words coronavirus, covid, and vaccine from being registered through its service.

https://domainnamewire.com/2020/03/26/stop-covid-19-domain-names

BTW: Fox Corps has a nice site up at www.coronavirusnow.com

Really, thats a laugh and a half.

Why? Because every single SMS SPAM that I receive on my cell phone is from a NAMECHEAP registered domain name. I emailed their abuse@ email and their "legal department" told me there was nothing they could do about it - I should contact the FCC. Whats the purpose of an abuse@ email then? I am fully aware of the FCC - its a black hole. I would have thought people at a registrar would start to look into the dozen examples I sent them and perhaps they received others - maybe put a case together to take those domains off line while further investigating. Nope. Kick the can down the road.

So there's nothing they can do about the spammers but they can prevent other domain names they do not like from being registered? Their knee-jerk SJW reaction is pathetic.

Reminds me of when CVS pharmacies removed tobacco products from their stores claiming “sale of tobacco products is inconsistent with our purpose—helping people on their path to better health.” I do not smoke and I do not promote smoking where it is legal. I just cant stand stupidity. Clear and present SJW stupidity. Meanwhile CVS still sells chocolate and sugary candy products in their stores to minors and adults alike. Helping people on their path to better purpose via diabetes and obesity is A-OK though.

Yet another absurd knee-jerk reaction.

BTW, here is one of dozens of spams I received from a recently registered NAMECHEAP domain. I cant even block these because they do not come from a phone number. I get these on my cell phone as well as my google phone numbers.

None, because I think it's in poor taste to capitalize on disasters. I did pick up a few names related to "working from home," though, because I consider other industries (that may benefit from or being affected by) the current crisis fair game. And remote work was already a thing before all of this.

You are, too. Already two popular this week threads. Be careful.

It must be your new profile pic.

lol. must be the "cut off" top of my head. something people want to do.
Why would you want to try and benefit financially from this kind of thing. 😥 nobody is going to want to buy a name like this.

Deep breath. information website that's it. Who would buy it? there are certain websites example WN.com that registers and probably buys "trending" keywords.

I remember doing whois for domains I wanted to reg and I remember the domains ended up pointing to WN.com. I can't find know the exact domain I checked. But

Another one is Losangelesnews inc. . They have over 14,000+ domains.

https://viewdns.info/reversewhois/?q=los+angeles

look man. We all have seen some pretty. out there domains being registered. most times we throw shade and just move on and just say "well good luck there buddy".

this is an exact match domain. no extra words or letters. granted in a cctld.

One could do worse.

hopefully some european union news website will want it or a spain news site.

eeh? we try. and if I lose money I lose money. my business in thee end.

I mean cmon. remember OKBoomer.com? I think that was just trending in the USA I doubt it ever ended up in China or Europe trends. And we all saw how much that sold.

if for whatever reason they could not get the .com.

I don't think the registrant for coronavirus.info received a comment from you yet for that domain I don't think?

he's asking $999 for coronavirus.info

other coronavirus domains registered not mine. these guys must be jerks! lol

hmmm just 41? total? lol :banghead:

Spot on. Could very well be used for a Corona commercial. Catch the Corona virus at the Beach. Something along those lines :)

Show attachment 142405

Seriously though, this stuff always sells. Lookup other diseases, hurricanes, whatever. Not my niche, but there's money in it.


Hahaha love this place! Domainers are like that crazy uncle in everyone's family that they put up with. Lol

Nice one.

I had one guy email me once from Norway I think send me an inquiry via Efty lander for my domain.

BuyVirus.com

Offered me $1,000,000,000 dollars! And something sarcastic.

FYI.there are facilities that sell virus samples to research facilities. Yes even Sars or Mersa or Ebola. Or even the "Johnson" eating virus.

Also really though this be more for anti virus website as in.

"buy virus" protection.

Lol inquiry made my day though.

As far as who would need this.

Picture someone who got the Coronavirus or their family members.

They will Google it.

At some point there will be a Cure. Or vaccine.

The creator of the cure or vaccine will be making money off that cure.

NOT GIVING AWAY FOR FREE.

Facilities designed to help will be private probably.

Think Umbrella Corporation from Resident Evil.

We can sit here and argue anything that has to be Coronavirus will be a charity kumbaya type situation.

But never get it twisted.

Someone somewhere is going to get rich off this Coronavirus unfortunately.

Maybe not me. But someone will.

From the equipment used to medicines.etc etc.

Coronavirus.com regged in 2002. Whoever owns that. Let's wait and see what their next move will be before we judge. But they probably will want big money for it because it is 18 years old.

Next best thing? All the other cctld's or .net or .orv.

If it ends up being owned by Pfizer or Bayer?

Well ..yea. you already know.

Yes, we don't need to go there. Thanks for thoughts, as usual.

Nope , and I dont think you will sell any at all. These things dont work like this

That's fine. Got a year. Set up blog. Add some AdSense. Hire Fiverr writers.

Check work on plaigerism.com.

One year. Make $7-$50. No harm no foul. Rinse repeat.

Or subscribe to cdc rss feed and other sites.

Use autoblogger scripts to autogen content from these feeds. Install ads. Set it forget it.

Nothing is ever a lost cause if you keep thinking.

Worse case break even and dump domain or maybe a few bucks.

lol .. in the end it ALWAYS depends on the specific domains. From there you need to look at the risk to potential reward ratio. Same as when you buy a lotto ticket. When the math becomes favourable then it *could* be a good gamble/investment.

The only reason I got in is because it was all over the news the last 24 hours. Plus what I think could be the public/media name for the virus was available in both .org and .info (the .com was taken 2 hours earlier). I'm guesstamating there's about a 25% chance it ends up being called the name I'm guessing it will be called, then maybe a 50% it continues to spread to the point where it becomes a bigger global concern. So chances are maybe 10% on my domains being relevant. But they are the EMD in .org and .info; and the EMD+Vaccine in .com .. so if that 10% comes to be, because of my low acquisition costs, I'd definitely be making far more than 10x (the minimum break-even for 10%).

Domaining is always about numbers. The problem is that most people aren't good at setting those numbers. Usually most over estimate the probability of sale or the potential multiple/sales price.



Not going to say just yet .. if this continues to grow and the math increases, then I might grab a couple more .. so would rather keep my guess secret for now .. I'll definitely tell you in the probable case the media goes with a different name.




The thing you need to ask, is who is the likely buyer. In this case it's pharmaceutical companies worth many multiple billions of dollars. Is selling them a domain in the $xx,xxx range going to change the outcome of anybody's health in any way? The answer to that is a clear no.

I'd definitely see things differently if the domains had the potential to hurt people or spread hate, but that isn't the case here.

If anything, one could argue that by holding it for a higher multiple, you're actually ensuring that it goes to an end user who will be serious about how they use the domain. Definitely not a great argument .. but it's the only one on either side I can think of.

lmao .. you are from from being the most hated member on NamePros!

In the end though .. I generally don't blindly follow others. In fact for the last year I haven't really taken any risks, as I've consistently been acquiring very solid domains at very low prices (low auction or closeout). High enough quality at low enough prices that I'm sure I could also flip them wholesale at a nice profit and still leave lots of room for a wholesale buyer to have favourable math and make longer term profits.

That being said .. when I do take risks .. I look into things and then do the math. I most certainly don't always get it right .. but the occasional gamble with a favourable risk/reward payoff is not a bad thing to do if it's a small part of your overall portfolio.


In the end there are two very important things people need to consider (and most almost never grasp either).

#1 - The MATH! Never ignore the math and numbers!

#2 - The ability to attribute numbers to the variables. There is no exact science on valuations or on coming up with exact probabilities of a sale. But you need to be able to guestimate those numbers with a small enough margin of error on the macro level of your portfolio.
