Register a Domain

Whenever an idea comes to our mind to launch an online business, first of all, you check at your favorite registrar whether the domain is available or not. Then, if available, you pay a fee, depending on how many years you want to register the domain.

Registration fees for .com domains range between $8-$12, and many times, registrars are running promos, and you get good discounts on that.

Registering a domain is relatively easy; you just have to think of a name that is available and register it by visiting the registrar of your choice.

But if you are a domain investor, you have to check many qualifying criteria before registering any domain because it’s an investment and every penny matters.

Let’s discuss some “typical” domainers qualifying criteria before registering a domain.

Must be.Com.

DotCom is king, and it is the most commonly used web extension globally; everybody knows what .com is, whether you are a new or experienced domain investor. 

As a domain investor, you will always want to register .com because its demand is the highest in the market.

Length of the domain

Registering a single-word dictionary name is next to impossible, but if you have the budget, you can buy a single-word premium name, but its price will be very high.

Two words domains are still in demand, and if you do a little research, then there are still games out there you can find. You can still find good two words combo domains on Expireddomains.net and Godaddy Close-Outs but buy only those with any meaning; avoid made-up names.

Stick with high-paying/competitive industries.

Below are some such industries with a lot of competition and are growing and always in demand.

• Healthcare
• Finance
• Logistics
• Tech
• Legal
• Retail

You can divide all these niches into sub-niches and focus on choosing the right keywords.

Apart from this, you can also use dotdb.com to find how many similar domains are already registered in different extensions.

Check Past sales

If you want to get an idea of which two words domains are selling, then Namebio is the best resource. You should check and study the daily sales report and see what type of domains are currently being selling in the market.

There is another criteria that you can use before registering a domain is search volume and CPC.

The higher the SV and CPC, the more it means demand for that keyword in the market.

We all have our own quality check before registering a domain; and if you focus more on the basics, it will be better for you; it’s all about making your base strong

And before you list your domains in different marketplaces, you will think about what price I set for my domains, and for this, you will check the comps of Namebio and look at the Goddady appraisal tool so that you can get some idea.

Apart from this, you can also look at the listing of BrandBucket and SquadHelp to see how many similar domains they have approved like yours at what price.

The more data you have, the easier it will be for you to list your domains at the correct price.

That’s it for now. I hope it makes sense; comment below and let me know your process before choosing a domain name?

Namaste🙏
