Free, but usually a cost.

Just because it's free, doesn't mean it's the best choice! Free domain name appraisal services do exist. However, they often are one-stop quick automated scripts that do not accurately address the true value of your domains. Your domain appraisal will be free, but the agency may try to up-sell you on other products and services.

When you add up the time and cost it takes to handle all the aspects of domain appraisals, listings, and advertising of your domain name sale, it makes sense to approach one of the companies that actually specialize in this field.

Let the software speak for you.

No need to get so technological! Domain appraisal software is rarely as accurate as a full-fledged domain appraisal, but it may be a good place to start for a quick estimate.

Remember, a regular domain appraisal is usually less than $50. Unless you plan on appraising several domain names, it is cheap enough to get a human professional rather than a computer-generated answer.

3rd Party or By-Owner Domain Sales

Don't get gipped! After you have completed your domain appraisals, there are several ways you can sell your domain names. Some great methods include:

• Individually approach businesses in the field your domain name applies to
• Place it on an auction
• Go to a company that specializes in selling domains

Keep in mind that the first step in knowing how much your domain name is worth. And, by getting a domain appraisal, you will receive an idea what your domain is worth to potential buyers.

Criteria for Domain Appraisal

If you're going to be judged you should look good! Domain name appraisal companies will judge your domain name on a number of criteria:

• Extension Value (.com, .net, .org, etc)
• Brand Awareness (how recognizable is the domain name?)
• Memorability (the shorter the domain name, the better)
• Industry Potential (does the domain name have big use in a particular commerce field?)

Based on multiple industry metrics, you will receive a domain appraisal for the value of your name based on current market values, similar to other types of property valuations. Be prepared!
