You know, I've heard it said that domain names have gone up faster than any other commodity
known to man.
To me, a domain name is the first step that people take when they're starting a business,
or have an invention or idea. In this day and age, that's... that's where it begins.
The internet is growing, profoundly. Population on the planet is swelling, all these people
are going to want to have an identity online. There is only so much "real estate", or "land",
if you will, on the web, and there are only so many unique, meaningful identifiers, for
people to describe themselves. There are a finite number of search terms, and there are
a finite number of dictionary words, and there are certainly a finite number of compound
phrases in the English language - and in other languages. For the most part, you know, meaningful,
generic, descriptive domain names have held their value and gone up in value significantly
- and consistently - for the last ten years.
Corporations and individuals throughout the world are starting to realize this value,
and the power that it can deliver.
The domain name itself is often the most valuable asset any company has; it's one of the most
misunderstood assets. You know, there's nothing I can think of that you can buy in the hundreds
or the thousands of dollars, or even in the tens of thousands of dollars that could be
worth in the millions of dollars.
Now that the world has become more digitized, buyers of these domain names are becoming
a lot more savvy and understanding of the value of a domain name.
Valuable, generic domain names are so rare, there just aren't enough good ones to go around
for the billions of people who want to... make an impression online, who want to better
their lives. Everybody who has those dreams - and the domain name is the most foundational
asset of those dreams - as it relates to things online.
