💰 Domain Value Guide

Shorter domains are exponentially more valuable. A 3-letter .com can be worth $10,000–$1M+. Each extra character reduces value significantly.

Example: ai.com ($5M+) vs artificialintelligence.com ($5K)

.com is king — worth 5-20x more than other TLDs for the same name. .ai and .io are premium tech TLDs. Country codes vary wildly.

Example: brand.com ($50K) vs brand.xyz ($500)

Domains containing high-value commercial keywords (insurance, loans, crypto, AI) command premium prices due to SEO and advertising value.

Example: insurance.com ($35.6M), crypto.com ($12M)

Easy to say, spell, and remember. Made-up but catchy words (like Google, Zappos) are highly valuable. Avoid hyphens, numbers, and double letters.

Example: zoom.com, stripe.com, notion.so

Domains with existing backlinks from authoritative sites carry SEO value. Domain authority (DA) directly impacts search rankings.

Example: DA 50+ domain = $5K-$50K premium

Domains receiving organic search traffic or type-in traffic are more valuable. Monthly visitors translate directly to revenue potential.

Example: 10K monthly visitors = $5K-$20K value add

Older domains have more trust with search engines. A domain registered in 2000 carries more weight than one from 2024.

Example: 20+ year old domains get ~10-20% premium

Exact-match domains for high search volume keywords are valuable. "best laptops" gets 100K+ monthly searches.

Example: High volume keyword domains: $10K-$500K

New registration of available domains. Most .com domains cost $8-12/yr. Premium TLDs like .ai cost $50-80/yr.
