In a trending video post on X and Instagram, Nuseir Yassin shared that he spent $1.25 million to acquire the NAS.com domain name. Yassin is the Founder of NAS.io, “a platform that empowers creators to earn money beyond the confines of social media,” according to a Jerusalem Post article published in 2023.
NAS.io now forwards to Nas.com, and the company is sporting a new logo that includes the .com domain name within it.
I’ve been working on avoiding portfolio bloat as my domain name portfolio has grown. I’ve been more aggressive about buying lower cost inventory-quality domain names, and that means some of these domain names aren’t worth keeping after a few years of not selling. I want to share how this effort helped me close a $1k deal last week.
The first thing I did was sort my Afternic-listed domain names by views. Specifically, I looked for the domain names that had no views at all over 365 days. If nobody is searching to buy a domain name, it’s less likely the domain name will sell. It probably would have been helpful to track this for a longer period of time, but I haven’t so I am left with somewhat limited data over a one year period. I then isolated these names on a spreadsheet.
As my portfolio has grown in the last several years, so, too, have my renewal fees. I’ve spent more time and money buying domain names I can add to my portfolio to sell as inventory. I think I’ve done well enough picking out enough quality names that sell that it’s been worthwhile.
A great deal of these inventory quality domain names were either hand registered or bought via the DropCatch domain discount club, where the price is just above the registration fee. I have been more willing to take fliers on these names to build my inventory that I can sell for anywhere from ~$1,000 – $5,000. Preventing portfolio bloat is something I’ve been actively doing as my domain portfolio has grown.
Tandem is a venture backed office marketplace that was in the Spring 2024 batch of YCombinator startups. The company is currently using Tandem.Space for its website, and it also owns TandemSpace.com. That domain name forwards to its website.
In a LinkedIn post over the weekend, Sean Miller, Co-Founder and CTO of Tandem, discussed the pros and cons of both of these domain names. He mentioned that the company has used Tandem.Space for a while, but they are considering a change to TandemSpace.com.
The financial services firm now known as Nu made a major domain name upgrade. According to a monitoring alert I have set at DomainIQ, the Whois record for Nu.com has changed and the valuable two letter .com domain name has a new owner.
Nu.com is now owned by Nu, “one of the largest digital financial services platforms in the world.” It looks like Nu had been known as Nubank, and the Nu.com domain name now forwards to the bank’s website at Nu.co. The bank can also be found online at Nubank.com.br.
.GG is the ccTLD for Guernsey. For the past few years, I’ve seen quite a few decent .GG domain name sales appear on Namebio. I’ve also read and heard from domain investors like Logan Flatt, Mark Levine, and Adam Maysonet who have sold .gg domain names.
For a long time, I’ve followed the market and decided to get my feet wet a bit. I bought around 20 .gg domain names as speculative investments using Park.io. I wouldn’t say that I am buying blindly, but I am focusing on nice one word .gg domain names I could see being desired in the aftermarket in the $5,000 – $25,000 range.
