In recent days, the sale of the word domain name "home.com" has garnered significant attention overseas. Foreign investor Andrew Rosener commented on Twitter that "Home.com" could be one of the world's top three domain names. Some asked, what are the other two? Andrew suggested that "x.com" should also be among the top three.
However, domain investing media outlet "domaininvesting" has a different perspective on this ranking. They believe that based on the intrinsic value of domain names, the following domains are among the world's top ten domain names. Some of these domains are in use for websites, while others remain unused, but their intrinsic value remains unaffected.
1. Home.com
In December 2020, the domain name "Home.com" was reported to be sold. The seller was Anything.com, a foreign domain trading platform, and the buyer was the foreign financial services company Fairway. Although the sale price remains confidential, the domain had been previously listed for $25 million and rejected a $10 million offer, making this sale likely to exceed $30 million. "Home.com" is a high-mention, generic term with strong industry representation. Currently, it serves as Fairway's online real estate project.
2. Money.com
In 2019, the word domain name "Money.com" was acquired by Ad Practitioners LLC for a whopping $20 million. The "Money.com" domain was registered in 1995 and has been around for 26 years. It was sold by Meredith Corp and is currently used for a credit and finance-related website.
3. Business.com
"Business.com" is a business search engine website co-founded in 1999 by former Disney Internet Group Chairman Jack W. Calhoun and EarthLink founder Sky Dayton. In July 2007, U.S. yellow pages publisher RH Donnelley acquired the company for $345 million and gained ownership of the "Business.com" domain, which was valued at $7.5 million.
4. Weather.com
Registered in 1994, "Weather.com" has a 27-year history and the meaning of "weather forecast." It is a domain name with a strong industry focus. Currently, the domain serves as a weather forecast-related website for IBM Business.
5. 123.com
"123.com" was registered in 1995 and has a 26-year history. It is a purely numeric domain with an appealing and memorable quality. There are only 72 domains of this type globally, highlighting their high value. However, this domain is currently unused.
6. ABC.com
Registered in 1996, "ABC.com" has a 25-year history. It belongs to the category of alphabetical sequence domains, and among the three-letter sequences, it is one of only seven, making it highly valuable and rare. "ABC.com" is one of Disney's most popular domains and is used to redirect visitors to ABC's homepage. In 2015, Google restructured as Alphabet, but they couldn't acquire "ABC.com" and had to opt for "ABC.xyz" for promotional purposes.
7. Go.com
Registered in 1998, "Go.com" has a 13-year history and means "go." It has always been owned by Disney and is used for Disney's online store. The market value is currently estimated to be at least seven figures in USD.
8. Travel.com
"Travel.com" was registered in 1992, making it 29 years old. It means "travel" and is a representative domain name in the travel industry. The domain is currently used for an online travel booking website.
9. News.com
"News.com" was registered in 1996 and has a 25-year history. It means "news" and is considered a prime domain name in the news industry. Currently, the domain redirects to the news website "cnet.com."
10. Cars.com
"Cars.com" is arguably one of the most expensive domain names in the automotive category. Registered in 1998, it was established as a car website in the same year. In 2015, Gannett Group acquired the renowned American car website "Cars.com" for $1.8 billion, valuing the "Cars.com" domain and related brands at $870 million.
These domain names have been selected as the world's top ten based on their intrinsic value, not just their transaction prices. They are characterized by clear meanings, memorability, uniqueness, and strong industry representation, all of which are essential criteria for evaluating high-quality domains.
Quality domains are highly valued not only for their high prices but also for their intrinsic value. They possess unique characteristics, strong representation, and the ability to leave a lasting impression on users. They are an effective way for businesses to gain customer trust, prevent brand confusion, and stand out in a competitive market.
