How
much is my domain name worth?
No question, short names are better than long ones. They're easier to
spell and remember. On the other hand, names that may have trademark
issues are generally worthless. Many factors go into the determination
of domain name values such as number of words, number of letters,
whether dashes or numbers are included, brandability, marketability
and spelling as well as whether or not the name passes the spoken test
- is the name spelled like it sounds and could someone find you on the
net if they heard about you on the radio? As with real estate, the
best indicator of value is the amount a knowledgeable buyer and seller
would agree upon without undue duress in the current market. And just
like with real estate, the best way to determine market value is to
get an expert appraisal from a credentialed
professional.

Who
can do an appraisal?
There are many state and federal regulations regarding the appraisal
of real estate which require many hours of education, years of
experience and testing for certification as an appraiser. Although
there is currently no such
requirement for the appraisal of domain names, we believe that your
domain name is your piece of cyber real estate and can be valued using
the same principles.
