Domain Names as Digital Real Estate: The Parallels of Scarcity and Value

September 25, 2024 By John Colascione Leave a Comment

Domain Names as Digital Real Estate

PALM BEACH, FL - In the modern business landscape, owning a premium domain name can be as valuable as holding a prime piece of physical real estate. Just as with prime properties in desirable locations, premium domain names—short, memorable, and industry-specific web addresses—are in limited supply, which drives up their value over time. These digital assets, much like their physical counterparts, are scarce commodities, and their importance has only increased in an era where … [Read more...]

Baer

SOUTH FLORIDA - A startup I never heard of caught my attention when it appeared on DomainInvesting.com for its strategic and necessary (in my opinion) acquisition by ownership of their “.com” domain name, YouForm.com, a business that had been using the popular - while not as good, io domain, YouForm.io. Youform is a free form builder that provides unlimited forms and responses. It is an alternative to Typeform and Formidable. Youform’s features include a drag-and-drop … [Read more...]

A Look at the Top 100 “.IO” Domain Names Sold in During Past 12 Months (2017-2018)

May 3, 2018 By John Colascione 1 Comment

NEW YORK - Today I purchased two domain names in the '.io' extension - which continues to do well (and I only have a few; less than 10). I registered Heaters.io and Injured.io and I will see what happens with those. They seem like great domains and for Reg fee, there is little to loose. I'm not too sure why the IO tld has done so well recently (it's been around since 1997), but I don't fully understand cryptocurrency either, and that continues to dominate much of the … [Read more...]
