How much is my domain worth?

It's an estimate based on structural signals — TLD, length, dictionary words, character quality, and brandability — calibrated against public sale data. Real sale prices also depend on buyer motivation, timing, and negotiation, which no algorithm can predict. Treat it as a starting point, not an appraisal.

Short, clean .com domains with dictionary words command the highest prices — voice.com sold for $30 million. Length matters exponentially (each extra character costs value), hyphens and numbers hurt, and pronounceable brandable names outperform random strings. Our engine scores all five factors.

The .com TLD has universal recognition, type-in traffic, and buyer trust that no other extension matches. In our model, .com carries a 1.0 value weight while .io is 0.6, .ai is 0.75, and lesser-known TLDs drop to 0.05–0.2. That said, premium one-word .io and .ai names still sell for six figures.

Yes, significantly. Our engine discounts hyphenated or numeric domains to 40% of their clean equivalent. They're harder to communicate verbally ('my dash site dot com'), more prone to typos, and buyers overwhelmingly prefer clean names. The data from public sales backs this up.

The largest publicly reported sale is voice.com at $30 million (2019, sold by MicroStrategy to Block.one). Other landmark sales include fund.com (~$10M) and hotels.com ($11M). Two-letter .coms like fb.com and ig.com have sold for $4–8.5 million.

Enter the domain into a valuation tool for an instant estimate, then sanity-check it against comparable reported sales — automated estimates are a starting range, not a sale price.

Age can help because older domains often carry history and trust, but age alone adds little — a short, brandable name with demand is worth more than an old name nobody wants.

Through domain marketplaces and auction platforms, or by listing it with a for-sale landing page on the domain itself. Pricing it from a valuation range plus comparable sales gives buyers a credible anchor.

Both estimate market value; "appraisal" usually implies a formal or paid assessment, while an automated valuation is an instant algorithmic estimate. Neither guarantees what a buyer will actually pay.

Keeping a valuable name registered and unexpired protects the asset — a domain that lapses can be lost entirely, and a long remaining term reassures buyers.
