Short domain names to be released today.
Top level domain name company Rightside is releasing 20,000 two character domain names across its TLDs today at noon EDT.
The two character domains to be released include at least one number in them, taking the form of NL.tld, LN.tld or NN.tld.
That obviously limits the appeal compared to two letter domains, but two letter domains are still in limbo at ICANN.
I would think the better domains are ones typically used as brands (e.g. A1) and ones with specific meaning to a particular industry. I could also understand NN.futbol domains having appeal if they match a uniform number.
The domain names are priced from $200 to $50,000. Rightside is particularly good at finding and pricing the best domains, so I wouldn’t count on many spectacular bargains from an investment standpoint.
As a point of reference, you can pick up a number of single letter domain names in Donuts’ domains for an annual fee of about $1,000.
Some donuts single letter domains are $79, many in the $109 range, and majority in the $250 range
Really? Can you provide an example? Maybe I just lucked upon more expensive ones today.
Many of the .singles are $79, .ventures are $79, .technology there are only 6 of the 26 letters released are $109, .codes are $250
Many domainers got the .domains ones they are running between $109-$250 for renewal
Usually if the letter e, or i got thru, those are pricey $250-$1000
but the first round ones for the better part of the first 4 months were in the $79-$250 range.
The later releases may have got more expensive, but they stopped putting the single letters out about 6 months in, after that I quit checking, as the allure had worn off a bit in regards to supply, and demand.
One “i” that I am aware of that got through was priced at around $38
I have three: z.estate, J.estate, and J.domains, bought for low three figures with lower renewals.
These were early acquisitions (February 2014), before the new registries decided to hold back 1-letter domains for high prices.
