Debating How Much Would You Pay For Domains?

By Walter Bartlett


Today, many individuals have a website on the internet in addition to the many business and organizations found online. Websites have become vital in terms of their earning power and ability to get information across to a multitude of viewers. While there are many cost effective methods in maintaining a website, there are some who will pay high prices in order to secure the most expensive domains on the internet. They feel it will pay off in the long run. Strictly speaking there is no set rule as to how much should one pay for domains.

The value of domain names is derived on several aspects. Some people pay huge amounts to buy a specific or sometimes unusual domain name. But there are also people who benefit from the various tools available online to get themselves a domain name at a much cheaper price. Obviously in this case one may not be able to choose a domain name specifically, but something similar to what he wished.

The value of a domain is based on parameters such as age, popular keywords in the name, and the most important is the Google page rank. It also depends on the profits that a particular name would have generated in the past for it to be considered as a viable possibility for future profits.

A thorough study is made of every domain and it is given a rank. There are companies who are fully engaged in studying each and every domain that exists today.

Unique and special types of names are always very costly. On the other hand, when one opts for a cost effective method one has to be somewhat restricted while choosing a name. Hence it is very important to choose a name that is effective and simple at the same time. One should always look for a name that is very unique because selecting the right domain name is what matters the most.

But for those who merely want domains to suit their business there are sites that offer them at reasonable rates. Those that are already taken will not be available as no domain can have the same name. The rates also depend on the extensions they have, such as . Com, . Edu, . Gov, . Net, . Org, to mention a few. There are also extensions for countries where the domains are registered e. G., . Uk, . In. . Jp, etc. Each of these domains will have different rates.

Rates also depend on the number of years it is registered for. The more the years the less is the rate as the price would be sort of discounted. When a domain is in the process of registration there will be indicators to show if the name is already taken and suggestions offered with alternatives to choose from. It is therefore important that while registering one needs to have one's own alternatives in mind so that one gets what one wants.

Ranking of standing domains is a continuing procedure and their worth varies depending on their reputation. What was once measured as the highest may not be so after a few years as this rank fluctuates. Google Page rank is a very important thing for every domain and its value changes from time to time depending on various factors. Therefore it is important to consider these factors.
