Valuation

Supply & Demand based value

This 3rd main category is really the most basic of all. All of the other variables will only provide a static view of the value of a domain. Meaning, up until now we have merely assessed a domain in absolute terms – with no relevance to the current market. The exact same domain name will not be worth the same thing as it is now in 10 years from now. As the Internet becomes more valuable and populated, domain names will become more valuable. Good indicators for this category might be the number of users of the Internet at the given time (correlated positively – demand side) and the number of registered domain names (also correlated positively – more names registered = shrinking supply).
