The Premium Domain Name Game

Well, Have you thought of great name for your product, project or Idea, and thought first I will book a domain name then will start working toward the Idea?

The thing is, if the word or combination of words exists in the dictionary of that name, the chances are that you won't be able to get, because it has be already registered. Surprisingly most of them point to a blank page where they are available for auction at a higher price.

This comes into a premium domain business, and kind of a equivalent of black marketing of onions digitally and totally legal. People search of dictionary or any word which they thought to be worth something to someone, and book them and then wait that someone who is really pressed for that booked name pay them higher price and get the domain. Its kind of like paying up ransom.

I am not sure if, domain registrar sites are running racket and booking the preminum name on their own, but If a domain is just blank (not even redirects) it should be freed (like what is happening with mobile numbers)




In my opinion  if you already have business name like "I Like Burgers" and then you want to book a domain of same name www.ilikeburgers.com, and in case you find it in a premium domain only, then only book it.

There are always option for .me,.net, .in, which might be avaiable or cheaper.

There are companies with name having no meaning and are successful, like

uber.com
accenture.com
google.com

It is the content not the name which make your website get clicks.
