Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about naming your business, domain valuation, and getting started.

How much does it cost to buy a domain name for a startup?

A brand-new domain registration typically costs $10–$20 per year for .com, while premium extensions like .ai start at $70–$100/year. Premium brandable domains — short, memorable names that are already registered — range from $1,000 to $50,000+ depending on the name's length, keywords, extension, and commercial appeal. Our free appraisal tool can help you understand what a specific domain is worth.

What makes a good domain name for a business?

The best business domain names are short (ideally under 10 characters), easy to spell and pronounce, memorable, and relevant to your industry. Avoid hyphens, numbers, and unusual spellings. A great domain should work as a brand — when someone hears it, they should be able to type it correctly without asking twice. Read our naming guide for detailed tips.

How do I know what my domain name is worth?

Domain value depends on several factors: length, keywords, extension (TLD), brandability, comparable sales, and current market demand. Most online appraisal tools give a single number that's often inaccurate. Our Domain Appraisal Tool provides three price points — quick sale, realistic market value, and ideal buyer price — based on AI analysis and real comparable sales data from public transactions.

Should I buy a .com or a newer extension like .ai, .io, or .co?

.com remains the gold standard for broad consumer trust, but newer extensions can be a smart strategic choice. AI startups increasingly prefer .ai for instant industry signaling. Tech companies use .io for its developer appeal. Extensions like .co, .cc, and .gg offer shorter, more affordable brandable names. Even country-code domains like .me (Montenegro) or .tv (Tuvalu) have become mainstream for specific use cases. The right choice depends on your industry, audience, and budget. We're preparing a comprehensive guide to all TLDs — stay tuned.

What is a domain appraisal and why do I need one?

A domain appraisal is a professional estimate of a domain name's market value. If you're buying, it helps you avoid overpaying. If you're selling, it helps you set a competitive asking price. Our tool goes beyond simple automated estimates by providing three price scenarios and analyzing factors that most tools miss — like brandability score, trademark conflicts, and how many other TLD variants of the name are already taken.

Can I trademark a domain name?

A domain name itself isn't automatically trademarked, but you can register a trademark for the brand name you use in commerce. Before purchasing a domain, it's wise to check for existing trademark conflicts — which our Naming Service includes as part of the process. We screen names against the USPTO database to flag potential issues before you invest in a name.
