Market Data

dotDB

The “registered across N TLDs” footprint shown on consensus appraisals is a live market-interest indicator provided by dotDB, which tracks how widely a name's root is registered across domain extensions. It is displayed as market context and is not a factor in our valuation.

NameBio

Comparable-sale records shown on appraisal pages and in our accuracy gallery are sourced from NameBio, the domain industry's largest searchable database of historical domain sales, with thanks to Michael Sumner. Each comparable links to its verifiable NameBio sales-history page.

DNJournal

Historical domain-sales data referenced in our published research is compiled from DNJournal's year-end top-sales charts (dnjournal.com), reported by Ron Jackson, whose sales reporting has served as the domain industry's ledger of record for over twenty years.
