So you want to find out what domain names are worth? Quite honestly, a domain name is worth about what someone is willing to pay you for it. There are some ways to get a "guestimate" of it's value.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Computer
  • Imagination
  • Luck

Step1
There are websites you can go to, such as Swiftappraisal.com, Leapfish.com, or DNScoop.com, that will ask you questions about your site and give you an idea as to what it would be worth.
Step2
There are also websites that have domain name auctions, such as Sedo.com or Godaddy.com. Search for "domain name auctions" on the internet and you can find them quite easily.
Step3
Check on Ebay.com and see what domain names are going for. To find out the sale price of sold domain names, you can go to soldnames.com and see what's happening with prices, etc. This will give you an idea of the market.

Tips & Warnings

  • The value of your web site is rated and you are given a score and an estimated price. Answer the questions they ask truthfully, or you might get a fake response on worth.
  • Domain names are simply about demand, so names you think are worth a bunch might not be, depending on who's looking.
  • Don't put all of your money into domain names and expect to live as a millionaire. Be careful, and be smart.
