Another domain name strategy to consider is to acquire a premium name in the aftermarket. This strategy is more appropriate for a start-up. Premium domain names are assets which can be resold even if the underlying business may fail. Last month for example the domain name Toys.com sold for $5.1 Million at bankruptcy auction. While many other asset classes like real estate and stocks have declined significantly in value over the last year, premium domain names have shown surprising strength. In December, TechCrunch reported that AT&T acquired the domain name YP.com for $3.85 Million in cash for their YellowPages.com brand. With the rapid growth in mobile sites, short and intuitive names will continue to rise in value so it would be wise for start-ups to take a deeper look into the benefits of acquiring a strong domain name right from the start.
