Shorter domains are worth more. Every character removed from a domain name multiplies its value — 5-character .com names routinely sell for 10× the price of 12-character equivalents. Under 8 characters is the sweet spot for premium valuation.
Invented words, strong phonetics, and no dependency on generic keywords drive brandability. Names like Stripe, Notion, and Vercel score high because they are short, phonetically distinct, and not tied to a literal description. Generic keyword strings (bestwebhosting.com) score low.
.com commands a 3–10× premium over alternatives in most markets. Domain investors and acquirers insist on .com for almost all premium transactions. .ai and .io carry meaningful premiums in tech-specific niches. .net, .org, and country-code TLDs trade at a steep discount to .com equivalents.
Timeless names (clean dictionary words, strong invented words) and 2020s-era names (short modern compounds) appreciate in value. 2000s-era names (keyword + shop/hub/zone) are depreciating — they look dated and reduce resale appeal.
FAQ
Our AI appraisal weighs five factors: character count (shorter = more valuable), brandability (invented or memorable words command a premium), spelling risk (low-risk names are easier to market), naming era (timeless and 2020s-era names age better than 2000s keyword strings), and TLD (.com carries a 3–10× premium over alternatives in most markets). The output is an estimated aftermarket range — what a domain might realistically sell for today.
Registration price is what you pay a registrar to claim an unregistered domain ($9–$15/yr for most .com names). Aftermarket value is what the domain could sell for if listed on a marketplace like Sedo, Afternic, or Dan.com — or in a direct sale. Short brandable .com names routinely sell for $500–$50,000 at auction. Starter-tier domains typically sell for $50–$500.
.com still commands the highest aftermarket premium in almost every category — typically 3–10× more than the same name on .io, .ai, or .co. The reason: direct type-in traffic, consumer trust, and institutional demand from acquirers and investors who insist on the .com. .ai and .io can command meaningful premiums in tech-specific niches, but .com dominates overall transaction volume on every major domain marketplace.
Not exactly. Investment grade means the domain scores well enough across brandability, memorability, spelling risk, and trademark concern to be worth registering at standard price — it is unlikely to be a liability. A domain can be investment grade but not necessarily the right fit for your specific brand. Conversely, a highly niche-specific keyword domain might be perfect for your brand but score lower on the general investment grade scale.
List it on Afternic, Sedo, or Dan.com for passive inbound offers. Set a Buy It Now price at 30–50% above your floor. For premium names ($5k+), outbound outreach to likely buyers in the target industry accelerates sales. Make sure WHOIS reflects your contact info or a forwarding email — buyers need to reach you.
Any TLD — .com, .io, .ai, .co, .net, .org, .app, .dev, and more. Enter the full domain name including the extension. The appraisal model adjusts the value estimate based on the TLD.
