Free Domain Name Appraisals

First of all we need to establish a few things; if you’re starting with a virgin domain name then it’s most probably worth less just like 99% of all domain names out there. However if you own a single word domain name such as cars.com then if you sell it you could most probably retire, if you sold ClassicCars.com you may get enough to buy a second hand car, not a classic. ConcourseClassicCars.com may be worth a £100 or eConcorseClassicCars.com is worthless.  A domain name that uses numerous hyphens like long-domain-name.com or prefixes and suffixes are virtually worthless. Other things to consider are that the spelling is correct, whether the domain works better as a plural or singular, but most of all it’s a .com, as a .net is never going to be worth as much.
All this said there is a flipside; there are other things that can add value to a domain name contradicting what’s been said above. If a domain name already has a good page ranking in Google due to it been in use before, such as hosted a site, generated clicks, sales or has had money spent marketing that domain name, it’s going to be worth more than base rate. For example, what did Google, eBay, Amazon or even yahoo mean to us before they became house hold names? But now those domains are probably worth millions.
Keywords still hold some relevance in search engine results so a relatively short domain name containing a keyword such as “beds.” For example click4beds or click-for-beds defiantly have some worth to that market area.
Generally the supply of domain names greatly exceeds the demand and essentially a domain name is only really worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
