Certified Domain Value
What is my domain name worth?
"This question is asked by many, but very few get a solid answer. Free domain appraisals are worthless and usually done by automated software with poor results. This is because domain names rely entirely on demand and therefore the only indication as to value is what somebody will pay for it. At OC we have created a rating system which is based on various factors and ratings you may find individually for a domain name value. The system is called a CMS (Combined Multiplex Score). The CMS is created by compiling a score derived from several different factors and running them through our formula to end up with a number. This is your score."
How do you determine a domain value?
"We have gathered data on thousands of domain names in order to create what we like to call the Domain Value Multiplex. This is a magic number you multiply by your CMS by to achieve an estimated value based on historical sales and current domain value. This estimated base value is generally used as a guideline in selecting a minimum sale value. The estimated actual value is directly derived from the base value and attempts to reflect actual potential. Some domain names do not have a high enough demand and are unable to meet this number."
How accurate is the OC analysis?
"Our appraisers are able to determine value of a domain name logistically to accurately predict how others view a name and what it actually implies, means, suggests to them. Domain names are also valued by factors such as length, TLD, words, historical value, symbols and numerals, etc, and are compared equally. The point is, our system of domain appraisals takes into account what the name actually "means" so your name may be worth much more or much less dependant upon this and many other factors."
