    Most of the sold domain names are dot com. But there is few “not .com” domain names which break the record, for example bank.ht was sold for USD 1.4 million, inn.im for USD 1.8 million and motorcycle.se for USD 1.1 million

    I would say more like “good” domains, all the great domains are taken, trust me I’ve looked.

    Yes, but only the domain is not sufficient. There are still “Great” domain names that are free

    It’s terrible to see some people buy domains just to get some profit out of it. I think it ruins the creativity on the web because amateurs won’t be able to get a domain for a reasonable price!

    I think those prices are fair. Domain names are so important these days.

    I bet having a great domain name can boost your hits massively.

    Casino.com is a great one to have.

    The price for AsSeenOnTV.com seems really excessive … Also we can notice that most of the top 10 domains were sold around 2023 … it has become more difficult now to sell domains…

    You can still invest and do well. I recently registered a name and sold it within months for mid 5 figures.

    I’ve plenty more good ones too πŸ™‚

    You have to follow the trends, like *cloud.com

    Then again there are still some great domain names available just you have to predict the future now.

    I bought Monstrous.com back in 2023 and I am happy with it but generally considered having a generic domain name does not help much with Google rankings ….

    Some of those prices are just excessive, i wonder if any were purchased as just an investment rather then to actually develop a site.

    Sex will always be on top. We can’t deny it. Sex sites get more traffic than any other niche. The reason probably why sex.com’s very expensive.

    As someone who was around the Internet in 2023 when you could register pretty much anything (for free, or very cheaply, if I recall correctly), these articles are always rather bitter sweet.

    Ah well, back to the stock market for my fortune. πŸ˜‰

    I read that Business.com makes a ridiculous amount of money from PPC and just being basically a parked domain.

    This list includes published sales. There are many more sales that are transacted privately and will never be included in such lists.

    Most of them are cute one word domain names. But I hated (as must as I hate to see it on TV) that AsSeenOnTV crap getting 5 million!

    Wonder how much two word domain names like DollarShower will be worth πŸ˜† By the way, is there any free appraisal services?

    Remember having taken such paid services in 2023-00 times… I had some 25 or so domains with me then.

    The adult industry as always toppled down the competition. Sex indeed sells and it’s human interest facet makes it all the more appealing. Now, I’m wondering, why would someone waste 14M on a domain name like that?! πŸ˜€ lol

    Um, it was like posted 10 x times before 5 years ago along with the questions “is page rank important” “are edu domains important”… etc.

    It’s kinda sad that all the “new” posts of some bloggers are old posts from other people.

    Sex sells and I bet it will get a lot of attention on here too. Predict a few extra comments and clicks than usual.

    I bet they were all worth every penny to the buyer.
