How Much Overlap on AI Domain Name Creation?

I sold a two word .com domain name for $4,999 via Afternic last night. The domain name consists of a noun and a verb, and I acquired the domain name for less than $200 in 2018.

Because it’s more of a brandable domain name than an actual term, I think there are similar types of domain names out there that have not been registered. In fact, DomainLeads.com shows only two SLDs registered in the domain name I sold – my .com and the .org domain name. Put simply, I believe this could be fertile ground to explore alternative domain names.

To that end, I used AI tools to try and come up with similar types of domain names I could search in bulk. I would then be able to do some additional research to assess whether any of the available terms are worth registering.

There’s a major AWS outage that is causing problems for websites and web-based services around the world. GoDaddy is one of those businesses that is impacted by the outage, I learned this afternoon.

When I visited one of my Afternic-listed domain names that resolves to a GoDaddy landing page, the incorrect landing page was shown. Instead of the newer “custom” landing page with BIN, Make Offer, and Lease to Own options shown, the older BIN landing page was displayed. This particular landing page doesn’t include camel casing.

A couple of weeks ago, Afternic hinted that it would soon be launching a new domain name marketplace on the ultra generic DomainNames.com domain name. The launch was today, and the DomainNames.com platform marketplace was introduced for the first time:

At a quick glance, the marketplace appears to be stocked with some top quality inventory from the start. Domain names like Harmony.com, Natural.com, FL.com, Invitation.com, Encourage.com, Bankroll.com, and others are exceptional and must be in high demand. Each listing has its own logo, and there is an informational landing page with some suggested uses for each domain name.

How I Quickly Check My Afternic Landing Pages

Last week, I added a couple of domain names to my Afternic account. Both domain names were won in GoDaddy expiry auctions and registered at GoDaddy. One of these domain names, maddeningly, required the 3rd verification nameserver. When I finally got it listed, I noticed it was showing a different landing page than my preference, so I quickly fixed it.

It is a good idea to check on your landing pages every once in a while to ensure the correct landers are showing for each domain name. It can be a very quick process if you know what you’re doing because Afternic doesn’t make it that easy. I’ll share how I check on mine.

I’ve followed TonyNames on X for several years. Who is TonyNames? Honestly, I don’t really know, but he has shared more than most people in the domain investment space. Tony has consistently shared insights into his domain investing journey coupled with actionable tips and personal sales data. In short, the information Tony is sharing is helpful and inspirational.

I suspect if someone charted his sales, it would show impressive growth. Very recently, Tony shared that he sold a mid-five figure domain name. Shortly thereafter, he shared an even greater milestone – Tony sold a domain name for six figures.

Sigma.io was reportedly sold by Tony for $100,000 in a deal closed via Afternic:
