Domain FAQ
The short answer: a lot. Is it memorable? Is it made up of one word or twelve? Is it a popular word or phrase? And those are just a few factors.
GoDaddy Domain Appraisals uses machine learning to accurately predict the value of a domain name. Using mass quantities of data and word tokenization, we’ve come up with a model that can assess a domain’s value. Simply put, the domain valuation tool removes a lot of the guesswork when it comes to predicting your domain’s value. Because our domain appraisal is performed most efficiently by focusing on the precise wording of a domain, it’s important to consider including pivotal SEO terms when you select a domain name.
If your domain is on the cusp of expiring and you know you’re not interested in renewing it, consider selling it. You might be sitting on a gold mine. If you know you do want to renew it, knowing your domain worth can help contextualize your use of it. You might also consider selling if you had a business idea that went in another direction, so the domain itself isn’t relevant to your plan anymore. Knowing what it could be worth can help you sell it in the GoDaddy aftermarket.
RushMommy can appraise domain names from any other registrar, but we have the best accuracy with common, English language-based domains.
Yes, RushMommy will eventually have the resources to appraise entire domain portfolios. When you have a valuable domain name that you should renew, protect, or consider selling (if it has been inactive over time), we will let you know through My Domains and your RushMommy account. Before you attempt to buy or sell a domain, however, read our helpful guide for tips on keeping a narrow focus, concentrating on trusted branding, and finding domains that offer authentic value.
RushMommy does not appraise developed websites, but we can provide a domain appraisal for any domain, regardless of any website attached to it. In short, we do not take the developed website into account, we only predict the sale price of the URL. To do this, we compare the domain worth to other historical domains sold where the sale price did not include the sale of the developed website. However, we do offer solid guidance for selling a website.
