Just like real estate, domain names are considered a commodity. They are considered property by most governments and ICANN.
Domains are usually categorized according to:
- Domains you’ll monetize
- Domains you’ll never sell
- Domains you’ll sell for a profit.
Comparable public and private sales: eg: dnsalesprice.com.
Appraisal of domain and or business - moniker does both
Earnings multiples
- Domains 5-7 times earnings, portfolios 2-5 times earnings
- Businesses (domains with assets)

- Direct impact on branding and marketing
- Which target audiences are better than the primary brand. eg: underwear.com
- Is the buyer coming to you before or after launching. Example: ireport.com vs cnn.com/ireport.
