Posted in Country tlds, Lists on May 20th, 2008 by Michael – 1 Comment

159 L-L.ca Domains Available out of 676.

LLL.ca’s are selling for a min of around $100 and up and judging by the .com’s L-L usually sell for about 30% of LLL. The LL.ca – two letter Canadian domains are selling for 5-10k minimum now and this is out of reach for smaller end users, this makes L-L.ca the perfect candidate for that job.

See the current available list below:

New LLLL.com PriceGuide by Reece

Posted in Blogs, Lists, LLLL.com on May 19th, 2008 by Michael – 1 Comment

New LLLL.com PriceGuide by Reece is out

 As can be seen, prices have stabilized and are no longer fluctuating significantly in either direction, which is a good indicator of a healthy market long term. Lately, there have been far more lower quality LLLL.com sales than there have been higher quality LLLL.com sales, so I’ve been forced to remove the upper percentiles to avoid giving major confusion to what higher quality premium and pronounceable LLLL.coms go for.
The quad premium market continues to perform abysmally, while the pronounceable and rare markets seem to have stabilized, much like the low end. Min wholesale on quad premiums is approximately $330, identical to what was reported in the previous 4 Letter Noob update, however prices nearing the minimum appear to be occuring considerably more frequently.

Frequency Analysis of Top LLLL.com Sales

Posted in Lists, LLLL.com, Opinions on April 29th, 2008 by Michael – 2 Comments

Letter quality brings up heated discussions every time on domaining forums and that’s not surprising since this is one of the top indicators for LLLL.com pricing.

In this post I’ve done some frequency analysis on the 200 top LLLL.com sales from last 4 months. These are all the reported sales above $2000 so it should shed more light on the subject.

As expected ‘q’ is the worst letter, but so is ‘j’ and ‘z’ is very close. The 4 premium vowels are the more popular letters and together make up almost 1/3 of all letters used there, so you better have one of them if you want your LLLL.com domain to sell for $2k+ .. can’t argue with the numbers ;)

And the results are..

a 9.25%
o 8.75%
e 7.00%
i 6.50%
s 6.13%
n 5.38%
m 5.00% read more »

Posted in AfterNic, Auctions, Lists, LLLL.com, Sedo, SnapNames on April 29th, 2008 by Michael – 1 Comment

Here is the forth monthly Recent LLLL.com Sales compilation. LLLL.com’s are the most frequently traded domaining commodity on all forums and auctions and it’s thus crucial to be up to date with the quickly changing prices.

The list includes last 3-5 days of sales on different venues based on TDVR database

Many nice end user value sales on afternic this week. There is a growing demand on CVCV.com domains and it’s rare to see sales below $1k in this area, while the quality of cvcv’s being sold is lower. Premium cvcv are rarely put for sale.

Many bargains can still be found on different auction houses.

The Hidden Potential of CVCV.com

Posted in AfterNic, Articles, Forums, Lists, LLLL.com, NameJet, Opinions, Sedo, SnapNames, Tips on April 18th, 2008 by Michael – 7 Comments

visa_logo.jpgThis posts discusses the unique potential of the top quality CVCV.com names and provides valuable tips and updates on where to get them at bargain prices.

LLLL.com remains the most frequently traded type of domains between domainers on the forums and it’s thus important to know the prices and be aware of the market trends and potential.

High end 4L.com’s names, mostly cvcv.com had the highest increase as of lately and it’s not surprising. There are only 2500 quad premium (e.g. only containing the premium letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, T) CVCV.com domains (consonant, vowel, consonant, vowel, e.g. topa.com, dola.com, nama.com etc.). Out of these names containing H and F are lesser quality. Another 2100 cvcv domains consist of the above letters and one of: U, K; which are considered the best of the non premium letters. And add to these another 1500 domains including V, or W and some of the above mentioned letters. In my opinion these 2500+2100+1500 = 6100 names are the top of the creme 4 letter domains. Other letters: Z,X,Y,J,Q are usually harder to make a brand of and are less attractive to a western, English speaking person. read more »

Top .in Domains Owners

Posted in Articles, Country tlds, Lists, Opinions on April 13th, 2008 by Michael – 9 Comments

flag-india.jpgHere is some interesting information about the .in domaining space. .in domains became available for registration only in 2005 (there was .co.in before that, which is less popular now) and all the top names are taken by several individuals/organizations.

There are currently around 400k-500K .in domains registered. For comparison .asia which just started recently has a similar number of registrations and is perceived by many domainers as “quite useless” and .ca domains have just crossed 1 Million registrations.

Indian economy is growing fast and many companies are eager to establish their online presence. Only about 6% of Indian population have internet access and the potential for growth here is enormous. While the prices are still quite low it provides an excellent investment opportunity.

.in domains can be registered by anyone, no Indian presence required (in contrary to for example .ca domains, which are only for Canadian residents).

Cybersquatters beware .in registry imposes very strict rules to protect trademark owners. Offenders may face very high legal charges and fees.

The highest reported sale for .in domain so far was poker.in for $60K (check other high sales here), which to a western person makes perfect sense, but in fact poker is not popular at all in India so the may actually be much harder to monetize than it seems. As usually there are many high value unreported .in sales and the end user interest is quite high in these.

There are no 1-2 character .in domains, but the LLL.in and NNN.in are quite popular and are traded a lot. Premium LLL.in domains reach around $60-100 minimum prices and in my opinion they represent one of the best investment opportunities now. We’ve seen in .com, net, .org and even in .ca domains how 3 letter domains grow in price on the reseller market and have very good end user potential due to many possible acronyms. Indian domaining space is expected to grow significantly over the years and the value of these names should skyrocket!

Some historical registrations figures, available from INregistry

  • Feb 17, 2005 – 24,000 domain names registered on first day
  • Feb 21, 2005 – 75,000
  • April 05, 2005 – 100,000
  • Nov 7, 2006 – 200,000


Generic and GEO .in domains are almost impossible to get now as most are owned by several entities below.

  • Indiaportals.org own an amazing portfolio, including some of the best generics. The best among these can easily go for 5 and even low 6 figures.
    bakery.in
    bank.in
    bar.in
    beauty.in
    books.in
    box.in
    buy.in
    call.in
    card.in
