We discuss it more in length on Sherpa on Monday but we have a pretty good show on generic vs brand. Ammar Kubba, Frank Schilling, and myself on the panel this coming week and the portfolio brings out the topic of technology and how to capitalize on it using domains.. We discuss brands and the fact that most companies are not naming their company the generic product name, rather coming up with a name that represents their products. Unless its a major category and a brand unto itself like Matress.com or Shoes.com, they are going with a name like Chewy.com or Zappos. Its the reason why one word dot coms are skyrocketing in cost. And why two word generics are moving towards zero if they don’t make a good brand. On two word dot come the singular is generally the brand and the plural is the product. For instance. SugarMaple.com is a great brand. But SugarMaples.com is about the tree. Of course there are exceptions. But its a good way to think when putting value on names. Here are today’s names.

Quote of the Day: “Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon” -E. M. Forster
Domain of the Day: TheHashtag.com Great twitter name. Really any social media
Namejet Names at Auction
WaterSupply.com 1996 domain. One of the most important resources on earth. OK the most important
HybridBike.com As seen on DomainSherpa. We all liked it but agreed its a bit generic and that a bike company is not going to use it to name their company. More as a marketing name
ActionSolar.com I like solar names. I think a lot of companies are created around it in the near future
SolarMadeSimple.com Someone else agrees as they’ve put a lot of solar names up for sale on Namejet today. Some good ones in there
YogaStars.com You know they should be pretty flexible
Sex.ws Here you go. Alan one of the original owners is dumping his .ws names. If you want to buy low here is your chance
LiveRoots.com See your family history or plant root stimulator
Flowers.ws I have to admit, as little confidence as I have in .ws this one is appealing
Staplers.net If you want to do a whole site selling staplers this would do it
888391.com I took a bath with my 888, 6N.com but still like them
Godaddy Domains That I Like With Multiple Bids
EternalWave.com Love this one. The eternal wave is a surfers dream. 1997 domain

Esoterra.com Terra and esoteric together make a pretty brand
eSugar.com Sugar has been a big part of brands and obesity for decades
Spresso.com Nice brand . Expresso comes to mind but more than coffee
SunsetGarden.com I would like to see an S but at this price still good for a retirement center or Chinese restaurant
Enseco.com Most of results come up for the energy company name of the same name
LocalShipping.com Internet and shipping. The future
Kovio.com Nice 5L.com
LocalVocal.com Brands that rhyme are more memorable. A few bidders agree

ITAss.com I guess it could be iTass but I like my capitalization better. Several bidders
KWR.cc LLL.cc still holding on to value
Domains That I Like With One or No Bids
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.com You’ve been waiting. Here it is. 49 Zs. Don’t be afraid of the cost
Nude.cc 1998 and no bidders. Keyword .cc don’t get very good prices
Hurricanes.net Weather or Miami fan
Stewdent.com I think this is pretty funny
LogoHouse.com Hell of a buy at this price
TrashyNovel.com Everyone loves them in the summer. Could be a brand too
SwampKing.com I can hear the southern accent in the commercial
ExtraLuck.com Who can’t use a little extra luck?
HealthyFootwear.com Not sure how footwear can be healthy but that’s not important. As long as they think its healthy I guess

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. I Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by me, Shane . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything I say is based on my own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or my opinion is correct. I hand choose my names but I am paid to make this list by the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good
Sounds great, i will be up at 6 for the show.
Ammar Kubba, Frank Schilling make a real good show.
And as for you Shane, i like your outlook on Domaining, keep up the great work and don’t ever lose your sense of Humor, it makes the show….
Thanks for the nice compliment Brand. I try and have a good time with everything I do 🙂
