Find Premium Domain Names

Every domain reseller is always on the lookout for premium domain names. Premium domain names are domains with a high level of value and buyer interest. Here's some steps in finding and confirming if your domain names are premium or not.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Internet access
  • A browser
  1. Step 1

    Try to find one word domain names with a .com extension. In present day, these are one in a million but if you can get your hands on one, don't let go of it for anything less then four digits. In many instances, even the most off the wall dictionary word in a .com extension will net you in the high hundreds, if not a few thousand!

  2. Step 2

    Look for memorable and short domains. For example, a domain name like UsedCars.com will net you several thousand dollars if sold on the market today. Although it is not a one-word domain name, its a memorable key word phrase in a popular market so in many cases it surpasses many one word .com domains you can think of.

  3. Step 3

    If a one word domain name in a .net, .org, or .us extension comes up, snatch it immediately! Although premium domains with the .com extension are the most valuable, you'll never know what other extension will become the new .com! If you pick one up now, expect to pay some money for it. However, hold onto that domain as an investment and you could make one hundred times what you pay for it in the near future.

  4. Step 4

    Search for random four letter domains in the .com extension. The value of these premium domains has consistently gone up for many years, and is valuable because four random letters can be used as an acronym for many different businesses.

Tips & Warnings
  • Although it's important to know what characteristics to look for in a premium domain name, if you can't find one then don't fret about it. In many instances, it can be better to spend your time looking for the two word .com domains then the ultra rare domains. Finding and buying some nice two word domains could be much more beneficial then looking for months for a one word domain which you may never find in this market anyway.
