What are the reasons why a domain should be bought and then resold?

In the primary market, domains are registered or purchased for the first time, while in the secondary market previously purchased domains are resold. The buying and selling processes can be done on well-known platforms such as Cloudname, GoDaddy or Namecheap.

What are the reasons why a domain should be bought and then resold?

1. The domain that has been bought no longer serves the purpose of the buyer.
2. The domain that has been bought is resold at a higher value because it is an investment.

What do we mean with investment?

Data shows that investment is the main reason which makes the domain a real asset to buy and sell: if we consider only the sales of .com domains, the volume of revenues in the secondary market reached $2,1 billion in 2020 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5,3% in the last 3 years.

Just think: if in the primary market about 55 million domains have been purchased at an average price of $11, in the secondary market the domains purchased are only 1,3 million. But even though this volume is much lower, the average price of a sold domain reaches $1.660 which justifies an overall market value of $2,1Bn.

Very often this kind of investment is made by domainers, entities that trade registered name domains and/or sell to end users for profit. The limit of this process is the absence of formal regulation or governance: in fact, the price is set independently by domainers with no restrictions on price increases. This limit is overcome by Cloudname where the price of domains is no longer set by a third party but by the market itself: it’s the users who, through bidding and offering, create a volatile market where the value of each domain fluctuates in real time in relation to supply and demand.

Let’s talk about numbers.

But besides .com, what are the other domains with the highest value in the secondary market? The top selling extensions on one of the most well-known marketplaces like GoDaddy are:

1. .co with an average selling price of $6.779
2. .io with an average price of $3.143

These figures should be contextualized considering that the sales volumes of these extensions are lower than those of .com. In fact, if .com constitutes 92% of after-market sales, .co and .io constitute 1,4% and 0,4% respectively.
