Domain Names

Domain Name Consulting: Are you looking to learn more about domain names and their potential as investments or development? We offer our clients direct consulting to help them understand the industry. Forward-thinking and successful businesses are acquiring generic domain names “daily” to support and fuel their business. Are you…?

Domain Name Valuation and Appraisal: What concerns many individuals and investors about the domain name industry is the fact there is no such thing as a “domain name appraisal“, yet domain names sell each and every quarter for five, six, seven, and even EIGHT-FIGURES. Although the most common analogy to a generic “domain name” is “real estate” a universal system or documentation does NOT exist. This is not necessarily a “flaw” as you might assume from your first instinct. Keywords, trends, and traffic are constantly in an uncontrollable and unpredictable cycle which makes identifying a “standard” pricing schedule simply impossible. The majority of the time, domain names are valuable on the direct “potential” of building an Internet business around the core “brand“, which is supported [and influenced] by the domains “keyword[s]“, global search-volume, top-level-domain, and current traffic count. While there are several companies that claim to provide “computer-generated valuations” for domain names, please be aware, in advance, they are all SCAMS to make money. Even those companies boasting “human appraisal systems” are simply nonsense and garbage. There are a variety of core metrics to take in to consideration when truly giving a generic domain name a price or “value” tag. At the end of the day, a domain name is worth what someone is willing to pay for it, but historical sales data is absolutely invaluable to an owner or potential buyer. However, many generic domain names do in fact carry a “liquid cash” value and can be sold for fortunes within one phone call or email to a targeted domain investor or industry end-user. Our experienced team is here to help educate you on the value of your personal domain name portfolio or assist with the comprehension of “value” when looking to acquire specific domains in the aftermarket. 

Global Domain Name Research: Ok, so now you understand the “value” and some of the details but you have no clue how or where to begin researching. Are you looking for that “perfect” domain name, or are you wondering what domains you should invest in? Often times the biggest mistake businesses make is ignoring what domains are owned by their competition, and more importantly, what domains are available in the aftermarket. At the end of the day, the majority of businesses have NOT figured out the concept of offensive and defensive domain name registration, and it is crucial to building a competitive advantage. Just because you have “registered” a few domain names, does NOT mean they are valuable or are helping your business. Research equals Knowledge. Knowledge equals Power.

New Domain Name Registration: Anyone can register a domain name at a “domain name registrar“. Current “industry” pricing ranges from $6.99 to $34.99 for “.com” domain names. Why on earth would anyone pay $34.99 when you can pay $6.99 for the exact same registration? Where can you find the $6.99 pricing? Only here, at NorthernKentuckyMedia.com, LLC. In fact, we have the lowest prices in the world on “.TV” domain names as well, only $19.99 per year, compared to $44.99 at major Registrars. We GUARANTEE we have the lowest prices or your money back!

Comfort and peace of mind, at an affordable price. 

Aftermarket Domain Name Acquisition: The domain name aftermarket can be very overwhelming, even to those with experience. Once we’ve researched your specific industry and the “available” new registration potential we will then gather incredibly detailed information about relevant and valuable domain names that can help your business. Some of these domain names may currently be in “auction“, or may be available and listed for sale as a “premium” through an aftermarket website. It is also a possibility that the domain names in question have been “dropped” by the previous owner and are in “Redemption Period” or “Pending Delete”. If this is in fact the case, we can still manage the acquisition, as we have specific accounts, experience, and knowledge of these processes. However, in many cases, your “domains of interest” will be owned by another private-party or business. In this case, we use private and confidential tactics to attempt to acquire the domain name for the lowest price possible. We have years of networking, negotiating and acquisition experience. We strongly suggest you do not attempt to acquire a domain name without professional council. 

Domain Name Brokering: For our more advanced clientele we offer premium brokering, marketing, and acquisition services. Depending on the scope of the clients project we have dozens of key contacts and industry leaders that we can communicate with on any given day. In the past, we have sold four and five-figure domain names and have been hired to market and broker six and even seven-figure domain names, including America.com, and America.TV. Do you have a domain name you think has value that you are trying to sell to a domain investor or end-user? Let us know, we can help.

Domain Name Random Acts of Kindness: Surely you’re scratching your head at this title, but we’re serious. From time to time we have engaged in a bit of charity work by contacting Trademark holders and brand owners of opportunities that may exist that they have overlooked. In other cases, we have alerted them of specific cases where individuals are infringing on our their intellectual property. This process has helped create new relationships in the industry and makes us feel good about helping someone in need. The reality is many of the larger corporations in the world are too arrogant to think they need help, so we usually get a thrill out of their “thank you” letters or voicemail. We have supported the digital efforts of companies like NBC, Harrah’s, Mercedes-Benz, and several household names, including some European-based businesses.
