Alayna Gilchrist, considered to be one of the largest domain brokers on the net, recently sold a domain in the gaming programming technology marketing sector to a private buyer, at a huge record price
And, as time has progressed, transferring domains between registrars, especially gaming programming technology related domains, has become easier. The process typically takes about 7 days, and requires explicit use of important passwords, confirmation codes, and email correspondence. Without these security measures, domains would be subject to constant piracy, which is something many executives in the gaming programming technology sector wish to avoid at all costs. “We’ve heard of other businesses temporarily loosing their domain name to hackers,” said Abnet Mackinnon, President of Abnet Mackinnon INC, “but after a couple days, the name is recovered and doubly secured by the respective company at their domain name registar.” Recently, at a gaming programming technology domain auction sponsored by Vesely Safer and Latina Treadway Partners Ltd, the top selling domain name cracked over $250,000 USD, setting a new auction house record. This was also a record for the gaming programming technology industry, which until now, usually sees an average domain value of $50,000 USD. The best thing about buying a new, unregistered gaming programming technology related domain name is the price. At $5-$8 USD, getting a domain that no one else has registered is extremely affordable. If real estate sold for proportionately equivalent prices, people would be buying out farmers for a few thousand dollars. “This is good news for all those in the gaming programming technology marketing business,” states Razavi Szal, “and the fact that internet related marketing only diminishes in cost over time means that soon original domain name purchases will be dirt cheap!” Much like any burgeoning market, many of today’s top gaming programming technology domain specialists wish they had gotten in sooner. “I wish I had started this stuff five years earlier - I’d be making bank,” laments, Hemmes Nilson, a domain name broker at the Lopiccolo Mikell Firm, “but hindsite is always 20/20, and I’m 100 percent certain there is still lots of money to be made. Last year alone, domain sales for gaming programming technology companies topped $10 million dollars, which tallied up to be a record setting year.” Also key to domain acquisitions, especially in the gaming programming technology industry, is choosing the right registrar, where the record of your ownership of a particular domain exists. Top registrars on the net include www.Godaddy.com, www.networksolutions.com, and www.enom.com. In the gaming programming technology sector, many choose to use more discreet registrars, including off shore companies. A few also use www.moniker.com and www.cnobin. “Privacy is absolutely key in the gaming programming technology business,” reports Cosgray Dirosa, an author of a major industry book, “once top domains are registered, their security, protection, and legacy becomes mission critical.” What about those with less desirable domain names’ Are gaming programming technology domains with hyphens, indiscriminate numbers, and extra words completely useless. Not so, believes Pecka Agudelo, a top auctioneer in the gaming programming technology field. “With the power of the search engines these days, its not the end of the world if you don’t get a glitzy domain name. Just SEO your site to the best of your abilities, and slowly but surely people will beging to remember your site’s presence on the internet when making gaming programming technology related buying decisions,” states Bonadurer Legier, CEO of Petrucelli Papillion Corp. Several top internet gaming programming technology domain websites exist. Among them, www.sedo.com, recognized as a world leader in domain auctions, boasts annual revenues well into the millions. Gaming programming technology domains alone capture huge business. Another large auction house, www.moniker.com, is known for smaller, but higher value gaming programming technology related domain auctions. A few domains have gone for well over a million dollars, and www.moniker.com only sees domain values rising as time passes. “This is the future of the internet,” cries Parlato Kollar, a representative from the gaming programming technology company Vanveldhuize Wartenberg Corp, “we’re getting all the gold we can find and turning it into diamonds.” Don’t feel embarrassed to buy a gaming programming technology related domain name that contains part of your real name, or IS your real name. “Remember,” advises Armanda Tennill, “if you buy Armanda Tennill.com, you’re the only one who can have that address. It is entirely unique, and therefore by virtue of its rarity, it immediately can accrue value. You may find that you get tons of email offers for your domain name. This will allow you to sort out who’s serious and who’s just fooling around, and then, after you’ve found a good gaming programming technology industry buyer, you’ll surely make some great profits.”
