Buy Domain Names

There are over 300 million domain names that are considered top level domains.

When domain names and web sites started to become popular between 1990 and 1995, greedy people known as cyber squatters started buying up domain names so that they could sell them for profit. Listed below are some domain names that where purchased and sold for much higher prices than the approximately $10.00 they cost.

Business.com sold for $7,500,000 in 12/1999
AsSeenOnTv.com sold for $5,100,000 in 01/2000 
Altavista.com sold for $3,300,000 in 8/1998 
Wine.com sold for $2,900,000 in 9/1999 
CreditCards.com sold for $2,750,000 in 7/2004
Autos.com sold for $2,200,000 in 12/1999

There are no longer any 1, 2, 3, or 4 letters domain names left and each day the number of domain names available are decreasing at an alarming rate. Below are some guide lines for coming up with a domain name.

First of all, choose a domain that best represents your business or web site use. Refer to the above.

Picking a good domain first of all depends how you intend to use it. If I were going to have a web site about me and not to sell products, I would probably use my name example www.charliegoldwater.com but if I were going to sell guns I would want a domain name that includes keywords. An example would be www.goldwatergunsandpistols.com

Hyphens are becoming more and more common as domain name choice is getting slimmer. I like to use the hyphen to separate words in long confusing domain names. Example, I would prefer www.monies-exchange.com over www.moniesexchange.com. Google robots do not know if they are dealing with a sexchange or an exchange.

If you have a domain name that you like but it has already been used, keep in mind that everyday there are approximately 25,000 domain names deleted and are up for grabs. For a very small fee we can snap it up as soon as it becomes available. Go to our Domain Alert® Pro page for complete details.
