Anyone who is active in the Internet business will sooner or later stumble across domains. Especially if you invest in domains, develop web projects or deal with them, the value of a domain often plays a role. There are many tools on the market that are more or less good. You can find out how to determine the value of a domain most reliably here.
Beware of free domain value tools
There are a number of tools online that are designed to determine the value of a domain. Many of these tools are free. What may sound great at first, is ultimately just a gimmick. Most tools give extremely high fantasy prices, which you can never achieve on the market. If you are a domain seller, then this may still play into your hands as part of the reverie. When buying a domain, however, things can look quite different again. If you receive a domain valuation that is too high, you may also pay too high prices when purchasing a domain. Choosing the right tools is therefore crucial.
Book a professional domain valuation!
Instead of relying on automated and semi-reputable domain value calculators, let professionals manually assess the domain’s value. A professional domain valuation is often not expensive at all and provides deep insights into the data and background used to determine the price.
Another benefit is the fact that companies that offer professional manual domain valuations do it all day and are experts in domain buying and selling. In our opinion, you can only expect a realistic domain price from such domain ratings.
One of the best providers for a professional domain valuation is Domainspace.io – the Berlin-based company specializes in domains and offers a number of domain-related services. A well-done domain valuation also helps you publicly justify the selling price of a domain to potential buyers.
Only use free tools as a backup or for a quick check
Of course you can also use free domain tools to quickly determine a rough value. However, you should use the results as a guide. In general, we recommend using the FreeValuator, as it still delivers the most realistic results. However, the premium rating of the provider is not worth the money, here you should really rely on the aforementioned service from Domainspace.
Other domain evaluation tools, like GoDaddy’s, are just window dressing in our experience. Sometimes the prices are so high that they are simply unrealistic and, above all, cannot be achieved on the market. We do not recommend using this tool, even though it may be tempting to see an extremely high domain value as a fantasy price.
