What's your most valuable domain name ?
by
Shay
I'll start - my most valuable name is
Liveabroad.com
indiehackers.com - No idea how much it's worth at this point, but certainly much more than it was when I first bought it for $2k!
It obviously was well worth it in the end but wow im surprised you were willing to spend that much on a domain so early on!
Interestingly, I didn't think twice about it. It was an easy decision at the time. Combination of being confident about the idea behind IH + a bit reckless with my savings, I suppose.

It was super simple for me. I decided on a name, found the domain name, it was taken, did a WHOIS, the owner turned up, sent him an email, he offered a price, I offered to trade one of my existing domains, he didn't like any, so I offered to pay his price, and I asked him to put the domain on ESCROW.com, which he did. I probably could've negotiated down a bit, but honestly $2k was less than I expected to pay.

saashub.com - It's short and straight to the point.
p.s. I bought it for $250 a few years ago.
Good name.
crocodil.es - I was using it as a music blog, but I may end up using it for a product I have in mind.
I once owned facebook.ky then real facebook took it from me :(

yourcaddy.com - got offered $6500 for it, but I feel like one day I will make some weird golf app and will need it lol.
nice - I own golfscoremanager.com - had a fully functional windows phone 7 golf scoring app that never made it to the store.
manchester-events.co.uk - Not currently in use but I live in Manchester, UK and could maybe use it for an events affiliate site, automate things and leave it.
mill.io
in Swedish sounds like the word environment Miljö...I like it
nice, I didn't know that.
I do have idea for one environment-related project. Maybe it should be the name.
sounds great tho
Nice name
losthobbies.com
I think I paid 10€ for it.
Nice domain @HelpStay... My most valuable name would be duud.com or confiable.com.. I collect/invest in domains so I have a quite few favourites (though not many by domaining standards 😊)
4 character dot com - good name
Hyperlyst.com
pinata.me - short and fun!
roomi.com
For me its https://Watermark.ink
mealkitty.com - would be for meal kit comparison (think HelloFresh, Blue Apron) and earn money through affiliate links. I actually think it has legs, but one project at a time!
jobs-uae.com
helpninja.com
I have pesatime.com - Its for an online accounting software for small businesses
The name comes from a Swahili word (Pesa) which means money and the "time" which in full becomes "moneytime" :)
showcasefashion.com
Realbitcoin.com is the only one people have tried to buy
No one has ever bid on this?
A couple of people reached out. Top offer it's had was $700 I think, but I figured I'd let it play out. I figure with all the Bitcoin forks & what not it could end up worth a lot (or nothing, who knows)
episodic.pub
intended for a writing community whereby authors could get early feedback on their work, and publish books 'piecemeal' (as in episodes) to followers who subscribe to their works.
I'm interested in using this! I've been thinking about starting a Ghost blog with their new subscription feature for this purpose, but they only do monthly or yearly. I want to do it as a one-time fee.
inscovery.com - sold it off for a couple of thousands.
setproduct.com - I've found it for $9.95 per year and it was incredible luck to discover it
How do you know how valuable a domain name is? I own
csslang.comI use estibot.com, it's not exact but I think it's pretty good in most cases.
It says csslang.com is worth less than $100.
I have no idea on the actual value, but it's one of my favorites
giv.to
My name. Only valuable to others with the same name though.
pro-sports.com
Oooh that's such a good one. Mine is thegoodstartup.com! Before that it was ungodlythings.com, but I didn't renew the domain - may my inappropriate clothing brand rest in peace 😭
I have snapdragon.co - maybe a photo app or something....
I have veryyou.com - that is for sale (had 4 digit offers that got bungled)... LMK if you are interested.
I just let to go www.growinginusa.com
Definitely www.cultcelebrities.com - over time, my buddy and I grew this labor of love into one of the largest B-movie cult film websites on the internet! Granted, there's not many...
zanzeta.com - long story behind it.
www.blendful.com
