AI: Explain the value of a domain to me like I’m 5 years old

domainagentspress

ChatGPT has been taking the Internet by storm, so we asked the AI to explain the value of a domain to us like we’re 5 years old. The results were actually pretty good. Check it out:

“A domain name is like the address of your house. Just like you need an address to find your house, people need a domain name to find a website on the internet.

Having a good domain name is important because it makes it easier for people to remember and find your website, just like having a unique and easy-to-remember address helps people find your house more easily.

Think about it, wouldn’t you rather visit a website with a name like “sweetcookies.com” instead of something hard to remember like “123456789.com”?

A good domain name is also like a cool sign for your website, just like how a fancy house name plate or a cool mailbox can make your house look even more special.

In short, a domain name is like the address and special name for your website, making it easy for people to find and remember.”

Is AI the future of content creation? It’s off to a pretty good start!

Dot AI domain names have grown in popularity the last few years, but you can still get great keywords for much less than the equivalent dot com. If you’re looking for a dot AI, reach out to our domain brokers for help.

$6400 Raised for Charity in 2022

One unique feature of DomainAgents is that we offer domain owners compensation for participating in negotiations.  If an owner counters or accepts an offer, they have the option of either getting a $10 PayPal payout, a credit to make an offer of their own or they can donate the $10 to one of three charities. This year, domain owners were particularly generous!

While the majority of owners choose the Paypal payout, many owners choose to support one of the charities.  In fact, we’re happy to announce that in 2022 $6,400 CAN was donated to the Red Cross, Oxfam, and Water School.

If you’re unfamiliar with the charities you can support via DomainAgents, here is a little bit about each:

The Red Cross – Founded to protect human life and health and to prevent and alleviate human suffering, without any discrimination based on nationality, race, sex, religious beliefs, class or political opinions.

Oxfam – International confederation of 17 organizations networked together in 92 countries, working to build a future free from the injustice of poverty.

Water School – Is a global non-profit organization with a mission to provide simple, safe, strategic, and sustainable clean water and sanitation solutions to the developing world.  Water School has long been a favorite cause of the domainer community.

We’re proud to have been able to help support these charities and hope that we’re able to donate even more in 2023.

DomainAgents Recognized as a Top Broker of 2022

This past year was a bit of a hangover after a record 2021 in the domain industry. The combination of inflation, interest rates, and war made for a very unpredictable year. Despite all of that, we have worked hard to help domain buyers and sellers weather through it and today we were proud to be recognized by Escrow.com as one of the highest grossing domain brokers of the year!

We are honored to work with partners across the domain industry. We wouldn’t be here without the registrars, registries, domain investors and buyers, both large and small, that we work with every day. This is the sixth time in a row we’ve won this award and I’m most proud of our consistency across what has been a very turbulent number of years.

I’d like to highlight the great team we’ve built at DomainAgents. The DomainAgents team provides great service to every buyer and seller they work with, whether the deal is for a few hundred dollars or several million. 

2023 looks like it might have a rocky start as the world adjusts to a very different economic environment, but I’m hopeful that by mid-year things will be back on track.

Whatever the case, I hope you have a healthy and prosperous 2023!

NamesCon made a surprise announcement today with the location and dates for the 2023 version of the show! The show will be returning to Austin, Texas on May 31st, 2023 and running until June 3, 2023. If you had been wondering when NamesCon would be back in 2023, block your calendars now!

The last NamesCon was at the end of August, 2022 and the timing was difficult for some with the end of summer and start of the school year. That said, it was nearly as busy as the previous show in 2020. NamesCon is by far the biggest domain investor focused show in the world and is well worth attending if you are serious about the domain industry.

Early bird tickets for the show are now available for $349. After December 22nd, the regular price is $999.
