As more and more people flock to the internet for business and/or pleasure, domain names continue to increase in worth as valuable online real estate assets. Domain investors who got into the industry in the mid to late ’90s were able to register and then sell extremely valuable names that defined entire industries and categories (some examples are bodybuilding.com, cars.com, basketweaving.com).
Today these types of generic, geographic and category defining names are selling for hundreds of thousands – and even millions – of dollars. These names will not be readily available to hand register but, if they are available for sale, can be acquired if you’re ready to make the investment in your business, product or brand.
For people who are looking to purchase a domain name that reflects their name, project, web application, business or brand, there are millions of names that are (still) readily available and for sale at major domain registrars such as Name.com.
If I could say one thing to anyone, any artist, any crafter, any ventriloquist, any business that’s new to the internet or new to doing business on the internet, PLEASE: buy or obtain the .com extension of your personal or professional name, your product name, your project name, your brand name, your business name before or soon after you set up shop online.
Your presence on the web is unique to you and you increase your chances of being found by other people looking for you, your products or your services in the major search engines. Secure your domain name (preferably .com) today!
