Well. It depends. If you’re asking yourself how much does a domain cost, you’ll get your answer right here. The answer is – it depends. A great domain name that’s worth a lot of money, will not cost the same as a simple domain name.
It’s like asking how much does an apartment cost? it depends. Is the apartment in New York? Is it a 4 bed room apartment? 2 bed room apartment? with balcony? without a balcony? the same with domains – it depends. On what? keep reading.
Which keywords are in the domain name?
If you want to buy a domain name with keywords that are “money making keyword” according to google and other search engines, it will cost you. a lot. For example, “makingmoneyonline.com” or “onlinetech”. “moneyonline”, “digitalonline”, “affiliatemarketing, “onelinemarketing” are money making domains according to google. Therefore, these domain will be expensive. Here is an example from GODADDY. This is the price they charge for the domain “digitalrap”. The domain is available but very expensive.
another great example for the range of prices of domains is this: “Digitaltrain” domain will cost you “only” 63,536.89$:
as you can see, the price range for some “digital” keyword domains is pretty high.”digitaltrain” costs “only 63,536.89$. I also found domains that cost 100,000 and 200,000$. On the other hand, I found domains that cost 50$. The good news is that there are also a lot of domain names that cost a lot less than what i’m showing you here. Some domains I found cost something like 4-5$. You just need to search a lot. In addition, there are also hosting companies (not godaddy) that offers you a domain and hosting for 1 year for less than 4 dollars, like this one.
Here are few more examples for domain prices from Godaddy:
As you can see, affiliatesmarketing.com will cost just a mere amount of 52,947.41$. Every domain that includes the keywords “affiliate”, “affiliates”, “affiliate marketing” and so on will be very expensive to buy.
How much will you pay for a Domain? depends only on you
It really depends only on you. You can definitely find cheap (and great!) domains that will cost 4$ and you can also find crappy domains for 60$ and more. What matters the most is the content you put inside the domain, not the domain itself.
Want examples? there you go – what the hell is GIZMODO? (only one of the best blogs ever, but what does that domain even mean? it sounds like nothing…), what the hell is ANANDTECH? again, only one of the biggest earning and famous bloggers I know. you got the point I guess. Moz? no domain sounds great before it gets branded and becomes a world leading content platform.
