What is a domain appraisal?

A domain appraisal is a professional assessment of a domain name's market value. Our AI-powered system analyzes over 50 factors including: Domain length and memorability Keyword strength and search volume Extension (.com, .net, etc.) and brandability Comparable sales data Market trends and industry relevance

What sets Appraise.net apart from other domain appraisal systems?

The domain appraisal industry has several excellent services, and we respect the work being done across the board. What makes Appraise.net unique is our deep linguistic analysis and word disambiguation approach that goes beyond surface-level valuation. Our Core Differentiator: Disambiguation-First Analysis Most appraisal systems evaluate domains at face value. We go deeper by analyzing multiple possible interpretations of a domain name and identifying which meaning has the highest commercial value. Word Disambiguation We analyze how words can be parsed, understood, and interpreted across different contexts. For example, "sunrise" could be Sunrise the event, Sun Rise the action, or a brand name - each with different commercial value. Cultural Impact Assessment We evaluate how different interpretations resonate across demographics, geographies, and cultural contexts to identify maximum market appeal. Industry Applicability Scoring We identify which industries would find each interpretation most valuable and rank them by market size and monetization potential. Commercial Value Prioritization We select the interpretation with the strongest revenue potential and budget expectations in real-world business scenarios. Comprehensive Analysis Services Beyond basic valuation, we provide: Linguistic Analysis: Sentiment, tone, part-of-speech, and semantic relationships Brandability & Memorability: Pronunciation ease, phonetic appeal, recall metrics Market Intelligence: Comparable sales data, pricing strategies, deal analyzer SEO & Search Value: Keyword strength, search volume, organic traffic potential Trademark Scanning: Potential conflicts across multiple jurisdictions Certificate Generation: Professional PDF appraisals with QR verification The Bottom Line While other services might tell you a domain is worth $X, we explain why it is worth that amount by showing you: Which interpretation drives the value Which industries will pay for it What budget range those buyers typically work within This disambiguation-first approach ensures you are not just getting a number; you are getting actionable intelligence to price, market, and sell your domains effectively. We believe the future of domain appraisal is not just about valuation; it is about understanding the full commercial potential of every possible interpretation and guiding you to the most valuable outcome.

Why do I get a value range instead of one specific amount?

Domain values can vary significantly depending on the sales context and buyer. Our AI analyzes multiple pricing scenarios: Liquidation Price: Quick sale, below-market value Auction Price: Competitive bidding environment Wholesale Price: Bulk or investor transactions Retail Price: End-user market value Best Use Case: Perfect buyer with specific needs The Estimated Retail Value we report is a range — a Conservative retail value on the low end and an Optimistic retail value on the high end — representing what an end-user might reasonably pay. This gives you realistic expectations for different selling scenarios.

How accurate are the appraisals?

Our AI system maintains a 95% accuracy rate by continuously learning from market data, sales records, and industry trends. However, domain values can be subjective and market conditions change, so our appraisals should be used as professional guidance rather than absolute values.

How Appraise.net Values Domains

The short version: we estimate what an ideal end-user buyer would pay in an optimal sale. That number is your compass, not your price tag. What the number means Every Appraise.net valuation is a retail estimate: what a motivated end user, the business or individual for whom this domain is the perfect fit, would reasonably pay in a well-executed sale. It is not a promise, not a guaranteed exit, and not what a domainer would pay you tomorrow. Domains, like real estate, trade at different prices depending on who is buying and how fast you need to sell: Retail is the end-user price. The startup that needs exactly this name. Highest value, lowest probability in any given month, because that buyer has to show up. Wholesale is the investor-to-investor price, typically a fraction of retail. This is what you see at auction and in domainer-to-domainer deals. Faster, but you're selling to someone who buys to resell. Liquidation is the "I need cash this week" price. Lowest of all, and the price many quick-sale platforms are built around. When someone says a retail appraisal is "wrong" because a similar name closed at auction for far less, they're comparing a retail estimate to a wholesale transaction. Both numbers are real. They answer different questions. Why we show a range, not a single number A single number implies precision that no honest appraiser, human or AI, can deliver. Domain sales for comparable names routinely close at prices that differ by 2x to 5x based on buyer circumstances, negotiation, and timing. Our low-to-high range reflects that reality. The high end assumes a strong-fit buyer and patient, well-run negotiation. The low end assumes a decent but not perfect match. Confidence indicators tell you how much comparable evidence supports the range. How the valuation is built Each appraisal weighs the factors experienced investors will recognize: length, keyword strength and commercial intent, TLD, brandability and memorability, and market trends for the niche. We also run word segmentation to understand what a name actually says (VisualSocial reads as Visual + Social) and assess multilingual appeal where a name carries meaning across markets. What matters more than any single factor is that the reasoning is visible. Every appraisal shows you the analysis behind the range: the strengths, the weaknesses, and relevant comparable sales where they exist, drawn from the public sales record. A number you can't interrogate is a guess with confidence. A valuation you can check against the market's own history is a tool. The compass, not the price tag The appraisal is your pricing anchor. Your actual asking price is a strategy decision that only you can make, and it depends on things no appraisal tool knows: your cash-flow needs, your holding costs, the size and shape of your portfolio, and how patient you can afford to be. A collector with deep reserves might price at or above the high end and wait years. An investor who needs velocity might price at 40 to 60 percent of the high value to move inventory. Neither is wrong. Same compass, different journeys. That's why Appraise.net lets you set My Price as a percentage of the high value in your profile, so your whole portfolio prices to your strategy automatically. What we don't do We don't inflate valuations to flatter you into a subscription; a tool you stop trusting is a tool you stop paying for. We don't claim to predict individual sales. We don't treat wholesale auction results as proof that retail estimates are wrong, or the reverse. And when a domain is weak, the appraisal says so. Check our work The best test of an appraisal methodology is how it tracks real market outcomes, so we publish ours. Ten Years of Biggest Sales — We appraised a decade of the top 100 annual sales as reported by DNJournal, the industry's sale-of-record, and published how our valuations compare against what the market actually paid. Proven: Blind Appraisals vs. Real Outcomes — Appraisals made before the outcome was known, published as they occurred: the accurate ones, the ones that ran under, and the ones that ran over. No cherry-picking. Or skip our evidence and make your own: run a domain you know well and judge the reasoning for yourself. For the full write-up, see our methodology page.

Engine v3: what changed and what it means for your appraisals

Engine v3 is the next step in how we value domains, and it is now rolling out across the site. It builds on Engine v2.5, keeps the same strengths, and fixes the one thing we heard most often from the community: not every extension deserves the same treatment. What changed Every extension is valued on its own market. We calibrate each extension's valuation curve against publicly reported comparable sales: whether that market is growing, holding, or fading, and whether the extension is even generally available yet. Extensions with a deep, active market keep their room to run. Extensions with a thin or fading record are valued more conservatively. Valuations stay tied to what an extension has actually sold for. A strong name can still be valued above the best recorded sale on its extension, because markets move forward, but not many times above it. Where Engine v2.5 was too generous at the top end of some extensions, v3 brings those figures back within reach of the real market. Extensions with no sales record get cautious values. If an extension has little or no recorded aftermarket, v3 says so in the report and keeps the number modest until real sales arrive. Blockchain-only names that are not part of the DNS are no longer valued as domains. .com and most other extensions carry over unchanged. The .com curve, and the curves of most extensions with healthy markets, are exactly what they were under Engine v2.5. Older appraisals now show current figures. When Engine v2.5 launched, some appraisals kept displaying their earlier Engine v2 figure where it was higher. Engine v3 retires that: every appraisal now shows its current value. For some names, most of them brandable .com names, this is a noticeable step down from the figure you were seeing. The underlying valuation had not changed; the display had been holding on to the old one. What to expect by extension For extensions with at least twenty appraisals on our books. "Top end down" means typical names are unchanged and only the strongest names come down. Extensions with little or no sales record are valued cautiously regardless of row. Appraisals that were still showing an Engine v2 figure change on any extension, including .com. What to expectExtensionsUnchanged.com, .ai, .xyz, .us, .ca, .bet, .top, .nl, .esTop end down, typical names unchanged.org, .net, .io, .me, .live, .win, .mlSlightly down.co, .de, .app, .si, .now, .uk, .club, .chat, .in, .eu, .cash, .fr, .link, .it, .atDown.gg, .so, .casino, .ag, .info, .vc, .fi, .finance, .ae, .digital, .mx, .tv, .cc, .bio, .financial, .one, .network, .ws, .dev, .ly, .art, .bot, .global, .money, .is, .capital, .pt, .pay, .health, .br, .group, .energy, .shop, .id, .to, .pro, .markets, .ch, .quest, .games, .online, .tech, .vip, .au, .buzz, .cloud, .world, .news, .domainsUpnone What you need to do Nothing. We are updating all Engine v2.5 valuations to v3 free of charge, automatically, whether or not you subscribe. There is nothing to refresh. Certificates already issued remain valid as issued; they are dated and carry the engine version they were produced with. New certificates carry Engine v3. If you need a v2.5 certificate and appraisal restored, contact us and we will do it. Appraisals produced before Engine v2.5 are considered obsolete: they stay on your account, and you may refresh any of them at the normal reduced refresh rate, which values them directly on Engine v3. What happens next Markets change, and Engine v3 is built to follow them. As new sales are recorded on an extension, or as it falls out of favor, we re-evaluate it, and when that materially changes an existing appraisal we update it and let subscribers know. Engine v3 is our stable baseline from here: improving by evidence, never by surprise. Questions about a specific appraisal? Reply to any of our emails or write to support@appraise.net.

The Appraise.net API lets you integrate domain appraisals directly into your own applications, scripts, and workflows. This guide covers everything you need to get started. Who Can Use the API API access is available on Business, Enterprise, Partner subscription plans, and Lifetime Access + API ($599). You can generate API keys from your subscription dashboard once you are on an eligible plan. Authentication Every API request requires two credentials, passed as HTTP headers: X-API-Key — Your API key (starts with ak_live_). You can reveal it on your Profile page after confirming your password. X-API-Secret — A 64-character hex string shown only once when you create it. You can regenerate it on your Profile page (requires password confirmation), but doing so immediately invalidates the previous secret. Security warning: These credentials grant full access to your credits. Never share them, commit them to source control, or expose them in client-side code. Your First API Call The simplest call is a single domain appraisal: curl -X POST https://appraise.net/api/v1/appraisal -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-API-Key: ak_live_your_key_here" -H "X-API-Secret: your_secret_here" -d "{\"domain\": \"example.com\"}" The API returns a JSON response. For the full response schema and all available endpoints, refer to the interactive API documentation at /api/docs. Batch Appraisals To appraise many domains at once, use the batch endpoint: curl -X POST https://appraise.net/api/v1/appraisal/batch -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-API-Key: ak_live_your_key_here" -H "X-API-Secret: your_secret_here" -d "{\"domains\": [\"domain1.com\", \"domain2.com\", \"domain3.com\"]}" Batch job progress and results can be tracked on the API Activity page. Duplicate Protection The API automatically prevents duplicate submissions. If you submit a domain that is already being processed in a pending job, the API will return the existing job details instead of creating a new one. For batch requests, any domains already in-flight are skipped and reported in the skipped_domains field of the response. This protects you from being charged twice for the same appraisal. Credit Pricing API calls consume credits from your account balance at these rates: New appraisal (real-time) — 3 credits New appraisal (batch) — 2 credits Cached appraisal (previously appraised by another user) — 1 credit Your own appraisal (you already appraised this domain) — 0 credits Rate Limits You can make API calls from any number of clients with no device or IP restrictions. Rate limits vary by plan: Business — 30 requests/minute, 5,000 requests/day Enterprise — 60 requests/minute, 10,000 requests/day Partner — 100 requests/minute, 30,000 requests/day Viewing Results in the Web UI All appraisals created via the API are automatically available in the web interface. You can find them in My Appraisals, or view any individual appraisal at /appraisal?domain=example.com. API Activity Page The API Activity page (visible in the navigation menu once you have an API key) provides a complete overview of your API usage: Summary stats — Total requests, domains processed, credits used, and success rate. Batch Jobs table — Shows all batch jobs with status, domain count, and credits charged. Expand any job to see the individual domains and click through to their appraisals. Recent API Requests table — Lists the last 50 API requests with endpoint, method, status code, response time, and credits charged.

Appraise.net — Service Timeline Major updates to the appraisal engine, platform, API, and pricing. Sections tagged ENGINE tell you whether a refresh of older appraisals is worth the credits. Prefer a visual timeline? This roadmap is also available as an interactive timeline at appraise.net/roadmap. 2025-10-30 — Bug bounty program FEATURE Public bug reporting launched at /bugs, advertised from the dashboard, batch, and lists pages. Every confirmed bug is rewarded with 50 credits. The first reporter received the inaugural reward. 2025-11-07 — Public API documentation API API documentation went public at appraise.net/api/docs, so partners can integrate domain valuations directly into their own platforms and workflows. 2025-11-14 — A+ security rating PLATFORM Appraise.net scored A+ (105/100) on the Mozilla HTTP Observatory. Spot-checks of a dozen marketplaces, registrars and competitor sites showed Sedo at C+ (60/100), Aternic at D (30/100), and GoDaddy at D– (25/100). 2026-01-12 — Discord bot FEATURE The Appraise.net Discord bot launched. /appraise domain.com returns instant AI valuations privately to the requester, with estimated value, strengths, weaknesses and market analysis. At launch, new users received 18 free credits on registration (signup credits retired July 2026). 2026-02-19 — Engine baseline (v5) ENGINE The reference appraisal algorithm. Established the brand-score → price tiers, the .com-equivalent ceiling rule, and per-TLD base percentages. This is the point all engine changes below are measured against. 2026-02-22 — Confidentiality & ccTLD recalibration ENGINE The service was hardened so internal scoring mechanics never leak into the user-facing market commentary. .CO bumped up — recognised as a real aftermarket rather than a thin one. Meaningful uplift on .CO valuations, especially short and keyword-aligned ones. .XYZ bumped down slightly (crypto, tech, and ultra-short modifiers reduced). Established compound words (landmark, sunflower, notebook…) are now kept as a single component instead of being split. Refresh recommended for: .CO domains, .XYZ domains, and compound-word generics. 2026-02-25 — Brandable recalibration ENGINE Brandable and coined one-word valuations recalibrated downward across all tiers to better reflect current marketplace comparables. Elite tier dropped from $100K–$1M to $60K–$250K, with proportional drops below. Refresh strongly recommended for: pure-brandable and dictionary-brand domains across all TLDs. 2026-03-02 — Industry categories & .IO/.CO uplift ENGINE New applicable categories field — every appraisal now tags up to three industry categories (technology, finance, health, AI, SaaS, crypto, and more). Powers filtering and discovery. .IO and .CO base percentages raised again to reflect continued strength of the developer and startup aftermarket. Refresh recommended for: .IO and .CO domains. All earlier appraisals gained category tags automatically where possible. 2026-03-07 — Segmentation consistency & listing titles ENGINE New listing title field — every appraisal now includes a one-line marketing call-to-action for marketplace display. Segmentation made deterministic across TLDs: yaber.ai and yaber.net now segment identically. Suffix handling (-ify, -ly, -able, -less, -tion…) standardised. Refresh recommended for: coined and brandable domains where prior segmentation looked inconsistent or over-split. 2026-03-07 — Doma briefs & "more than a price lookup" FEATURE API Launched the automatic Doma brief view, a different way to expose existing appraisal data for a specific portfolio (example: /doma/tokencobra.com). Published a companion piece, Appraise.net Is Much More Than a Price Lookup Tool, spelling out what the API actually returns: semantics, brand scores, buyer profiles and market analysis — not just a price. 2026-03-14 — Tighter ranges, deeper analysis, batch consistency ENGINE Tighter valuation ranges. Typical low–high spread compressed from roughly 3× down to about 2.3× — a narrower, more defensible band instead of a wide guess. Deeper market commentary. Expanded comparable-sales reasoning and market analysis in every appraisal. Batch consistency. The same domain run multiple times — or alongside siblings in a batch — now produces materially more stable results. Refresh recommended for: any appraisal from before this date where the range felt too wide to act on, and any batch where sibling results looked inconsistent. 2026-03-24 — Lifetime Membership & Pricing Wizard PRICING FEATURE Lifetime Membership — by popular request, lifetime platform access is now offered at $399 (without API) and $599 (with API). No monthly credits included, but purchased credits (which never expire) can be used at any time without an active subscription. Previously, a minimum $29.99/month plan was required just to spend an existing balance. Pricing Wizard — new interactive tool at /pricing-wizard with a recommendation flow plus static comparison tables. It calculates the exact break-even point between a lifetime membership and a recurring plan based on projected appraisal volume. 2026-03-28 — Lifetime affiliate commissions PRICING Lifetime Memberships were added to the affiliate program. Affiliates now earn $79.80 on a Lifetime ($399) referral and $119.80 on a Lifetime + API ($599) referral, on top of the recurring commissions already paid on subscription referrals. Apply at /affiliate/apply. 2026-04-02 — Engine Enhancements ENGINE The appraisal context enforces stricter validation and several new rules: Literal-spelling enforcement. Misspellings (for example, brigthr) are now flagged as a primary weakness and substantially reduce value, instead of being credited as "creative branding." Pronounceability test. Unpronounceable consonant clusters are detected and penalised. Pattern validation. CVCV / LLL / NNN classification is checked letter-by-letter — fixes prior cases where non-CVCV strings were misclassified and over-valued. Compound-word boundary rule. Doubled letters at legitimate word boundaries (sentinellink, bookkeeper) are correctly recognised instead of being flagged as typos. SLD vs TLD discipline. Segmentation now strictly applies to the second-level domain only — fixes appraisals like ai.kitchen where the wrong half was being analysed. Segmentation integrity check. Components must reassemble to the exact original string — eliminates a class of bugs where the service silently "corrected" the input. .SO added to the TLD framework, with a tech / developer "solution" association. Tighter category enforcement. Refresh strongly recommended for: Any domain containing a likely misspelling or unusual letter cluster. Any domain erroneously classified as a CVCV, LLL, or NNN pattern. Compound-word domains with doubled boundary letters. Domains where the SLD is very short and the TLD is itself a dictionary word (.kitchen, .studio, .legal…). All .SO domains. Any prior appraisal whose value looked surprisingly high for a borderline-pronounceable string. 2026-06-20 — Engine v2 ENGINE FEATURE Our biggest engine upgrade yet. Engine v2 is now live for every new appraisal: Faster appraisals. Real-time appraisals now return in about 10 seconds, down from roughly 40. Batch appraisals are dramatically faster too — we recently processed 5,000 domains in about 16 minutes, so large portfolios can be valued as fast as thousands of domains in minutes. Every batch is still backed by our firm 24-hour completion guarantee; the minutes are the typical speed you can expect. Deepest analysis yet. The most thorough valuation analysis we have ever offered, with richer reasoning behind every estimate. Detailed calibration. Valuations are carefully calibrated against real-world domain sales data for sharper, more reliable estimates. Comparable sales. Supporting real-world comparable sales (comps) are now surfaced alongside the appraisal when available, so you can see the market evidence behind the number. Distinctive certificate. Engine v2 appraisals come with a refreshed, visually distinct certificate design, so an Engine v2 valuation is instantly recognisable at a glance. Refresh strongly recommended for: any appraisal created before this date. Engine v2 reflects the deepest, best-calibrated valuations we have shipped, and a refresh is the only way to bring older appraisals up to the current engine. 2026-06-27 — Engine v2.5 ENGINE FEATURE Engine v2.5 is a calibration upgrade to Engine v2 — the same engine family, not a new major version — now live for every new appraisal. It sharpens accuracy where it matters most and adds a new fit signal to every appraisal: Sharper premium .com valuations. Top-tier and category-defining .com names are valued more accurately. Per-extension calibration. .com, .ai, .org / .net, .io / .co and more are each graded on their own market, rather than being measured against a .com yardstick. New field: SLD–TLD Synergy. Every appraisal now rates how well a name fits its extension. .com is always "King"; other extensions are scored on semantic fit as Perfect → Strong → Moderate → Weak → None. Short-pattern recognition. One-to-three letter (L / LL / LLL) and one-to-three number (N / NN / NNN) .coms are now graded at their true premium tier. Cleaner value ranges. Estimates display as tidy, rounded figures that are easier to read and quote. Stronger public-sales grounding. Valuations are anchored to real, recent public sales. Refresh recommended for: premium and short .com names, anything outside .com (each extension is now graded on its own market), and any appraisal where you want the new SLD–TLD Synergy rating. Appraisals created before this date pre-date Engine v2.5. 2026-07-13 — New pricing PRICING Simplified plans and appraisal pricing: appraisals from $19.99 one-off or $29.99/month on the Investor plan, with volume tiers above. Free signup credits were retired on 2026-07-20; every appraisal now runs on the same paid, fully supported footing. 2026-07-13 — Brand assets page FEATURE /brand publishes our official logos (SVG, WebP and PNG), wordmark colors including Appraise Navy #0D0830, and usage guidelines for partners and press. Linked from the footer. 2026-07-14 — Consensus valuations on guest reports FEATURE Consensus valuations on guest reports — every $19.99 guest Domain Value Report is now produced by running five independent valuations of the domain, discarding the highest and the lowest, and averaging the middle three. A single appraisal carries noise; a trimmed consensus of five is far more stable. The five opinions run concurrently, so reports still arrive in seconds. 2026-07-14 — Proven Accuracy gallery FEATURE /proven publishes reported domain sales next to the complete report each received, on the exact template subscribers get. Misses stay on the board; nothing is edited after publication. 2026-07-14 — API upgrades API A round of partner-requested API improvements: GET /appraisal/{domain} now returns the certificate ID and verification URL. New endpoints list your batches and fetch batch results by ID — web and refresh batches included. Refresh-all batches, with preview and confirm. Signed webhooks for batch completed / failed events, with a test endpoint. All documented at appraise.net/api/docs. 2026-07-19 — Ten-year market study published FEATURE We appraised every entry of DNJournal's year-end Top 100 charts, 2015–2025 (1,217 sales), and published the findings: about three quarters of top-chart sales transact within a wholesale-to-moonshot band around retail appraisal. Read it on the blog. 2026-07-24 — Consensus appraisals for subscribers FEATURE The five-opinion consensus method is now available on demand: 9 credits for a new consensus appraisal, 6 to upgrade an existing appraisal (your prior appraisal counts as opinion #1), and 6 per domain in batch. Measured run-to-run variance is exactly why this exists. 2026-07-25 — Batch reliability: automatic retry FEATURE Failed batch appraisals now retry automatically before any refund is issued. Stuck API jobs are also detected and requeued. Fewer refunds, more results. 2026-07-26 — The Year's Biggest Sales, Appraised FEATURE /biggest-sales: a decade of DNJournal Top 100 charts, every entry consensus-appraised and shown against its reported sale — cited, archived, filterable, including the charts' own resale ledger. 2026-07-28 — NameBio partnership PARTNERSHIP We partnered with NameBio, the industry's reference for domain sales data, licensing their full retail sales record. Our comparable-sales pool grew from ~23,000 to over 155,000 retail sales, synchronized daily including corrections and removals. Comps on your appraisals now draw from the complete retail record. 2026-07-29 — Smarter, deeper comps ENGINE Appraisals now show up to ten comparable sales, ordered by name closeness, each within a support window around your valuation range (0.65× low to 1.25× moonshot). New matching lanes include the same name sold under other endings, and past sale prices are time-adjusted with a value-tiered market index built from repeat-sales data. After stress-testing coverage across the full retail dataset, matching was also tuned for brandable and invented names — lower-value domains now find supporting comps far more often. Displayed valuations are unchanged; this improves the evidence beside them, so no refresh is needed. 2026-07-30 — Attestation letters FEATURE Generate a formal Letter of Appraisal for any consensus appraisal (or a whole list) from the appraisal page: free as a verifiable electronic PDF, or $19 as a hand-signed original embossed with our corporate seal and mailed ($31 via USPS Certified Mail). Built for lenders, escrow, and estate paperwork. 2026-07-30 — Batch performance PLATFORM Ongoing backend improvements have steadily cut batch turnaround. July's average is about 6 minutes per batch regardless of size, with a current record of 4,984 domains appraised in 7 minutes 16 seconds — under a tenth of a second per appraisal. 2026-07-30 — Self-serve account deletion FEATURE You can now delete your account yourself from Profile, under Account and Billing: subscription cancelled, personal details anonymized, done in a minute. Built the same day a member pointed out it was missing — feature requests get heard. 2026-08-01 — Scout API A new lightweight tier: score any domain 0–100 in under a second, built for screening big lists before deciding what deserves a full appraisal — expiring drops, auction lists, incoming offers, portfolio pricing, or name ideas before you register them. Use it at appraise.net/scout (paste or upload a list) or via the API (lists up to 250,000 names, webhooks included). Results are rank-validated against the full engine (81% recall of the true top 5%) and cached for consistency. 0.05 credits per score — one appraisal equals sixty scouts — and every new account starts with 100 free scouts. Scout your list before you appraise it. 2026-08-05 — Payment Methods Expansion MARKETPLACE Buying a domain now works the way the buyer prefers. The marketplace accepts cards, stablecoins and crypto (USDC and more, with a dedicated "Pay with crypto" option on every listing), and US bank debit (ACH) alongside the existing Escrow.com wire path. Crypto and bank payments skip the 3% card processing fee entirely, and bank buyers save an additional 2% on our own inventory. Alipay is live as well — Chinese buyers on our Chinese-language marketplace can pay natively. Guest appraisal reports accept the new methods too. 2026-08-06 — Fairer Accounting Enhancements PLATFORM Plan upgrades now credit you precisely for the time you actually use. When you upgrade mid-cycle, your credits are prorated to the day — exactly the way the charge is — so your balance always matches what you paid for, no more and no less. And when an account ever needs a credit adjustment, we handle it gently: you keep what’s already granted and can use it right away, any balancing happens quietly at your next renewal, and if you cancel first, it stays on us. Small, honest touches that keep your credits exactly right. 2026-08-07 — TLD Footprint on Consensus Appraisals FEATURE Consensus appraisals now show a live “Registered across N TLDs” footprint — how widely a name’s root is already claimed across domain extensions. It’s a quick read on how much the market wants a given string: a common word like “payment” is registered in hundreds of TLDs, while an invented compound sits in a handful. The footprint appears alongside every consensus valuation, including guest reports. It’s market context, shown to inform — not a factor in the valuation itself. 2026-08-07 — Drop Feed FEATURE A curated daily shortlist of dropping domains worth pursuing, pre-scored 0–100, live at appraise.net/drop-feed. We scan the market once — expiring .com plus .io, .co and more — and serve the shortlist to every subscriber, so you don't burn a scan on names thousands of others are already checking.

Any active plan unlocks the feed; the top-scoring band is an Enterprise benefit. 2026-08-28 — Brand images for your domains FEATURE Every appraisal can now generate a custom brand identity - a clean logo and a photorealistic lifestyle image that show how the name could live as a real business. Create them from any appraisal page, carry them onto your marketplace listings and certificates, and re-roll until they feel right. Your first re-roll of each image is free. 2026-08-29 — Branded marketplace cards & social previews FEATURE Listings with brand images now stand out with a rich visual card in the marketplace grid, and every listing link unfurls a polished branded preview when shared on social or messaging apps - the domain, its price, and its imagery in one card. 2026-08-29 — Marketplace sales, handled end to end FEATURE Our marketplace has now handled several completed sales from offer through transfer, with payments processed securely through both Stripe and Escrow.com. Buyers and sellers can transact with confidence - instant checkout for smaller deals, escrow for larger ones. 2026-09-03 — Measured search demand on every appraisal FEATURE Appraisal pages now show the measured monthly Google search volume and average cost-per-click for the words in a domain, right in the Analysis Factors, with a twelve-month trend line beside it. While our engine has always considered a domain's search demand when valuing it, we now surface the underlying numbers so you can see the market's interest for yourself. The figures are shown for context and do not change the appraised value - where a name has little search volume but a strong appraisal, the other factors on the page carry the explanation. 2026-09-06 — Engine v3 (current) ENGINE Engine v3 is now live for every appraisal. Every extension's valuation curve is calibrated on its own market: publicly reported comparable sales, momentum, and whether the extension is generally available. Engine v2.5 valuations on .com and most other extensions carry over unchanged. Extensions that were valued too generously at the top end come back within reach of their real market. Extensions with no sales record are valued cautiously until real sales arrive. The earlier Engine v2 display figures are retired, so every appraisal now shows its current value. What this means for you: existing Engine v2.5 appraisals were updated in place, at no charge and automatically; there is nothing to refresh. The Engine v3 designation replaces Engine v2.5 on every updated appraisal, in lists and batches, and on certificates. Certificates already issued remain valid as issued. If you need a v2.5 certificate and appraisal restored, contact us and we will do it. From here, extensions are re-evaluated as new sales are recorded or as they fall out of favor. Read what changed in Engine v3, or see which of your appraisals changed. Feedback that moves the engine ENGINE Engine v3 was shaped by feedback from people who trade domains every day, and the next calibration will be too. The most useful feedback has a specific name, our figure, and the reason you think it is off. The reason is the part we can act on. In rough order of value: A name with a real number we cannot see. You sold it, you declined an offer, you paid a price, a broker quoted a range. Send the name, our range, the actual figure, and the rough date and venue. Private deals never reach the public record, and those are exactly the gaps. A pattern, with two or three examples. One name can be noise. Three names that land the same way point at a curve we can fix for everyone, such as premium-letter three-letter .coms or a specific extension. The range is fine but something else is wrong. The Buy or Hold label, the category, a strength or weakness that does not fit, a trademark we missed or flagged wrongly. An extension you actually trade. Engine v3 values each extension on its own market, so recent sales you know about on an extension move the whole extension, not just one name. Less useful: the famous eight-figure sales, which are already in the public record, and single-name reactions without a number. Send feedback to support@appraise.net with the domain in the subject line. If it is a real miss, the value moves, and we will tell you. Looking ahead — stability commitment ENGINE Engine v3 is the stable baseline for the remainder of 2026. No major recalibrations are planned. Any further improvements will be quiet, incremental refinements that will not reset your existing valuations, and any change material enough to move valuations will be version-bumped and announced here first. In short: stable by default, improving by exception. General guidance Appraisals created on Engine v2.5 (2026-06-27 to 2026-09-06) were updated to Engine v3 automatically and need no refresh. Appraisals created before 2026-06-27 pre-date Engine v2.5 and are considered obsolete: they stay on your account and can be refreshed at the normal reduced refresh rate, which values them directly on Engine v3. A refresh is most worthwhile for premium and short .com names, brandables, anything outside .com, and domains with unusual spelling or letter patterns.

Personal Inbound Email: Appraise Domain Lists by Forwarding

Overview Personal Inbound Email gives every paying subscriber a private forwarding address. Forward any email that contains a list of domains — such as an auction alert or marketplace newsletter — and you'll get those domains back appraised and sorted by valuation, delivered straight to your account email. Your private address lives on your Profile page, complete with a copy button so it's easy to grab. A Paying-Subscriber Feature Personal Inbound Email is available on active paid plans only. If you're on a free account, you'll see an upgrade prompt in place of your address — simply upgrade to unlock it. How to Use It Find your address — Go to your Profile page and locate your Personal Inbound Email address (use the copy button to grab it). Forward a domain list — Forward any email containing a list of domains to that address. It works with marketplaces like GoDaddy, NameJet, Namecheap, Park.IO, Sedo, and Afternic, as well as generic lists. Get your results by email — We send the appraised, sorted list back to your account email address. What You Get Back Sorted by Value: Domains are ranked highest-value first, so the best opportunities sit at the top. Color-Coded Values: Green = $4,000+, Blue = $2,500+, making standout domains easy to spot. Quick Links: Open the full appraisal report for any domain, or jump back to the original source listing. Confirm Before Charging (or Auto-Process) By default, forwarding a list first sends you a confirmation email with a cost breakdown. Nothing is charged until you click to confirm — so you always know the cost before any credits are spent. Prefer to skip that step? Turn on Auto-process in your Profile to have forwarded lists appraised automatically, with no confirmation needed. Because auto-process spends credits without a confirmation step, enabling it requires checking a one-time acknowledgement. Credit Costs Domains you already have access to: free. Existing appraisals you don't yet have access to: 1 credit each. Brand-new appraisals: 2 credits each. Not Enough Credits? Partial Processing If a list costs more credits than you have, you can choose to process as many domains as your balance covers. We prioritize in this order: free ones first, then existing appraisals, then brand-new ones. Any domains beyond your balance are skipped, and your results email clearly states how many were skipped for insufficient credits. You can buy more credits and re-forward the rest anytime. Keep Your Address Private Treat your inbound address like a password. Anyone who has it can forward domains and spend your credits. Results always come back to your account — but the charges are yours too. You can deliberately share it with people you trust — for example a virtual assistant, partner, or broker who sends you domain lists on your behalf. Just don't post it publicly. Where to Manage It Everything — your address, the auto-process toggle, and the acknowledgement — lives on your Profile page.

What do the Recommendation and Confidence ratings mean?

Note: These terms are geared towards professional domainers managing portfolios, not occasional domain buyers. Think of them as portfolio management signals – helping you decide what to renew, what to drop, and where your assets sit in the market – rather than "should I buy this?" advice. Every appraisal includes two key ratings to help you make informed decisions: a Recommendation and a Confidence level. Recommendation The recommendation is based on the Optimistic retail value and indicates the quality tier of the domain as an investment: Rating Value Range Meaning Strong Buy $100,000+ Premium asset – highly desirable domain with strong market appeal. Buy $25,000 - $99,999 Quality asset – solid investment with good fundamentals. Hold $5,000 - $24,999 Decent asset – moderate value, situational appeal. Sell $500 - $4,999 Limited appeal – marginal value, narrow market. Strong Sell Under $500 Minimal value – poor investment, very limited market. Confidence The confidence level indicates how certain our AI is about the valuation, based on available market data and comparable sales: Level Meaning High Strong comparable sales data available, clear market demand, well-established TLD/keyword patterns. Medium Some comparable data available, moderate market activity, reasonable assumptions made. Low Limited comparable sales, niche market, or unusual domain characteristics requiring more speculation. Using These Ratings Together For the most reliable decisions, consider both ratings together: Strong Buy + High Confidence = Premium domain with reliable valuation Buy + Medium Confidence = Quality domain, consider additional research Hold + Low Confidence = Uncertain value, proceed with caution Any rating + Low Confidence = Consider getting additional market data before acting

Can I share an appraisal?

Yes! There are two ways to share appraisal information with others: Save as PDF (Recommended) Click the green "Save as PDF" button at the top of any appraisal page. This opens your browser's print dialog where you can save a clean, professional PDF report that includes: Full valuation with estimated range All 6 pricing strategies expanded Strengths and weaknesses analysis Market analysis and comparable sales The PDF can be emailed or shared with anyone -- no login required for them to view it. Share Link Click the "Share" button to copy the appraisal link. Note that viewing an appraisal via link requires: The recipient must have an Appraise.net account They must purchase access to view the appraisal (1 credit) For sharing with potential buyers or colleagues who don't have accounts, we recommend the Save as PDF option.

What is a consensus appraisal?

A consensus appraisal runs five independent valuations of your domain, drops the highest and the lowest, and converges the middle three into one range. You get the same report as a standard appraisal - value range, strengths, weaknesses, market analysis, comparable sales - but the number behind it is the agreement of five opinions instead of one. Why it exists AI valuations, like human ones, vary between sittings. We measured this on more than 1,200 domains, appraising each five times: the typical gap between a domain's highest and lowest single valuation was 29%, one domain in three exceeded 50%, and on roughly one domain in five, at least one of the five runs spiked above 1.5x the median opinion. A single appraisal is a sample from that spread; a consensus is the center of it. Why five opinions Five is the smallest panel where you can discard both extremes and still average a majority (three). Since about one run in five spikes optimistic, dropping the highest and lowest guarantees a lone outlier - high or low - never touches your result. The result is remarkably stable: in our measurements, replacing any single opinion typically shifts the consensus by 0% (it moves only when two or more opinions genuinely disagree). Single opinions swing by a third; the consensus barely notices any one of them. More than five runs adds cost faster than it adds stability. How to run one New appraisal: tick the "Consensus appraisal" toggle on your dashboard - 9 credits. Upgrade an existing appraisal: use the "Upgrade to Consensus" button on the appraisal page - 6 credits. Your current appraisal counts as one of the five opinions and is archived. Note the pricing is deliberately fair: appraise once (3) then upgrade (6) costs exactly the same as consensus from the start (9), so no ordering is ever the wrong choice. Batch: tick "Run as consensus batch" on the batch page - 6 credits per domain. Built for portfolios and your best names. Anonymous reports: every $19.99 guest report has always been a consensus of five. Fair-billing guarantee If fewer than three opinions complete (rare service degradation), we deliver a standard single-run appraisal and charge the standard rate - never the consensus rate. Consensus results are labeled with a "Consensus of 5" badge on the appraisal page. Consensus is the same method behind our published research, including our ten-year study of the industry's largest reported sales.

Why is my domain displayed with a particular capitalization, and how can I see alternative word breakings?

When you submit a domain for appraisal, the system performs word segmentation -- the process of identifying where individual words begin and end within a domain name. Because domain names are written without spaces, many domains can be broken into words in more than one way. The way words are broken apart determines the domain's displayed capitalization (called camelization), such as showing SourceBank.com rather than sourcebank.com. The API Chooses the Most Beneficial Interpretation When multiple valid word-breaking options exist, the AI selects the segmentation that is most beneficial to the domain's value. The chosen interpretation will be the one that: Produces the most recognizable and meaningful words Aligns with the strongest commercial or branding use case Maximizes keyword relevance and market appeal Takes into account multilingual recognition where applicable For example, a domain like aboveid.com could be read as "Above ID" (superior identity platform) or as referencing Idaho (ID). The AI selects "Above ID" because the identity/tech interpretation supports a higher valuation, and the domain is displayed as AboveID.com. Where to Find Alternative Interpretations Every appraisal report includes a Word Segmentation Analysis section. Within it, two fields capture the full picture: Segmented Shows the chosen word-breaking with spaces between words (e.g., "Above ID", "AI Xercises", "Source Bank"). This is the interpretation the AI determined is most favorable, and it drives the camelized display name you see throughout the report and in your history. Notes Describes alternative readings, ambiguities, and special considerations. When a domain has multiple plausible segmentations, the notes will call out each one and explain why the primary interpretation was chosen. This is where you will find secondary readings that may be relevant to different use cases or markets. Examples of Multiple Interpretations insurancecomp.com Segmented: "Insurance Comp" Notes: Could be shorthand for "Insurance Company" or "Insurance Compensation" (workers' comp). Both interpretations are industry-relevant. aixports.com Segmented: "AIX Ports" Notes: Primary reading is "AIX Ports" (IBM AIX OS + software/network ports). Alternate readings include "AI Exports" and a near-typo of "airports." magicly.com Segmented: "Magic + ly" Notes: Primary read is "Magic" + "ly" (a popular brandable suffix). Also reads as a coined, shorter variant of "magically." How Segmentation Affects Value The segmentation directly influences several aspects of the appraisal: Keyword recognition: Clearly segmented dictionary words or industry terms increase keyword value Brandability: How easily the domain reads as a brand name depends on how words are separated Market positioning: Different readings may target different industries or audiences Multilingual appeal: Some segmentations reveal words from other languages, expanding the domain's potential market Tip: If you believe an alternative interpretation better suits your intended use for the domain, check the Notes field in the segmentation section. It often describes secondary readings that may be more relevant for specific niches or branding strategies, even if they do not command the highest general market value.

What is Semantic Type and what do the badges mean?

Semantic Type classifies domains based on how they derive meaning and their linguistic structure. This helps you understand the domain's positioning and potential use cases. Semantic Type Categories Pure Brandable Coined/invented names with no dictionary meaning. Examples: Zyfra.com, Xippo.io, Flickr.com Dictionary Brand Single real dictionary words used as brand names. Examples: Apple.com, Amazon.com, Slack.com Exact Match Keyword Exact search terms people use to find products/services. Examples: CarInsurance.com, BestLaptops.com Partial Match Keyword Contains keywords but with modifiers. Examples: QuickLoans.com, SmartCRM.io Category Generic Entire product category or industry descriptor. Examples: Shoes.com, Hotels.com, Software.com Geo Keyword Geographic location + keyword combination. Examples: NYCPlumbers.com, LondonHotels.com Phrase/Longtail Multi-word phrases, conversational or sentence-like. Examples: HowToLoseWeight.com, GetFitNow.com Acronym Abbreviations or initialisms with known meanings. Examples: IBM.com, NASA.gov, CEO.com Person Name Personal names (first, last, or full names). Examples: JohnSmith.com, Martinez.com Numeric Brand Numbers as core identity element. Examples: 7Eleven.com, 99designs.com, 365.com Code/Identifier Technical codes, model numbers, or systematic identifiers. Examples: X100.com, A1B2.com Nonsense Random character strings with no pattern or meaning. Examples: Xqvtz.com, 8k3m2.com Why Semantic Type Matters Brandable domains (pure-brandable, dictionary-brand) often command premium prices for startups Keyword domains (exact-match, partial-match) are valuable for SEO and direct navigation Category generics can be extremely valuable as industry-defining names Geo-keywords are ideal for local businesses and regional services

What happens if my batch is interrupted or gets stuck?

While rare (less than 1% of batches), sometimes batch processing can take longer than expected or be interrupted. Don't worry; we have automated systems to protect you and recover your results. ⚠️ What "Interrupted" Means Batches have a maximum 48-hour processing window. If processing exceeds this (usually due to very large batches or system load), we stop the batch and mark it as interrupted. This doesn't mean your work is lost; we automatically recover all completed appraisals. 🤖 Automatic Recovery Process Our system monitors all batches 24/7. When a batch is interrupted or gets stuck, we automatically: 1 Download Results Retrieve all completed appraisals (even partial results) 2 Save to Your Account Completed appraisals are immediately saved to your history 3 Refund Incomplete Domains Full credit refund for any domains that didn't complete 4 Award Bonus Credits 5% compensation bonus (min 50, max 500 credits) for the inconvenience 5 Email Notification Detailed summary with compensation breakdown and resubmit options 💰 What You Get Back If a batch is interrupted, you receive: All completed appraisals - typically 70-90% of your batch 100% refund for incomplete domains (2 credits each) 5% bonus credits for the delay List of incomplete domains for easy resubmission 📊 Real Example Batch: 1,000 domains (2,000 credits) Completed appraisals 850 domains (85%) Incomplete domains 150 domains Refund (150 × 2) 300 credits Bonus (5% of 2,000) 100 credits Total returned 400 credits (20%) Net cost 1,600 credits Effective rate per domain 1.88 credits (6% discount) 🔄 Resubmitting Incomplete Domains After an interrupted batch, you'll receive an email with a list of incomplete domains. You have two options: ✅ Easy Resubmit Use your refunded credits to resubmit incomplete domains. We provide a pre-formatted list you can paste directly into the batch upload form. ⏭️ Skip Them If you don't need those specific domains appraised, simply keep the refunded credits for future use. No obligation to resubmit. ⚡ Preventing Future Delays 💡 Tips to Avoid Batch Interruptions Keep batches under 3,000 domains during peak hours (9am-5pm EST) Split very large portfolios into multiple smaller batches Submit during off-peak times (evenings, weekends) for faster processing Remove duplicate domains before submission ❓ Frequently Asked Questions Do I need to do anything when a batch is interrupted? No! Everything is handled automatically. You'll receive an email with details, and all credits/results are already in your account. How quickly are interrupted batches recovered? Our monitoring system checks every 30 minutes. Interrupted batches are typically recovered and credited within 1 hour of being stopped. Can I get a full refund if my batch is interrupted? You get 100% refund for incomplete domains + keep all completed appraisals + receive bonus credits. This is typically better than a full refund since you keep most of your work. Why do interruptions happen? Very large batches or high system load can occasionally cause delays. When that happens, we stop the batch and recover the completed work automatically. 🛡️ Bottom Line: Interrupted batches are handled automatically with full transparency. You keep all completed work, get refunded for incomplete domains, receive bonus compensation, and can easily resubmit if needed. No manual intervention required!

Which domain extensions (TLDs) can Appraise.net handle?

Appraise.net can appraise any domain extension with 2 or more characters - including traditional TLDs, new gTLDs, country codes (ccTLDs), and Web3/blockchain domains. Supported Extensions No restrictions! We don't use a whitelist - if it's a valid domain format, we can appraise it. Traditional TLDs: .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, etc. New gTLDs: .ai, .io, .app, .tech, .store, .online, .space, .icu, .vip, .money, .cash, and hundreds more Country Code TLDs: .us, .uk, .de, .co, .me, .tv, .cc, etc. Web3/Blockchain: .eth (Ethereum), Handshake (HNS) domains, and other blockchain namespaces How Our AI Evaluates Different TLDs Rather than restricting by an official TLD list, our AI has learned the relative value and market positioning of different extensions through: Real-world domain sales data and transaction history Market trends and adoption rates Extension age, trust level, and brand recognition Industry-specific utility (e.g., .ai for artificial intelligence) Web3 namespace adoption and community strength Extension Value Hierarchy The AI understands that different extensions have different market values: Premium: .com remains king due to universal recognition and trust Legacy Trusted: .net and .org maintain strong value from decades of use Trending Hot: .ai commands premium prices in the AI/tech space Tech Favorites: .io is widely accepted for tech startups Niche Strong: Industry-specific extensions (.store, .app, .tech) when name matches use Older Generic: .info carries less value despite being older Newer gTLDs: Vary widely - some successful, others still building market presence Web3 & Blockchain Domains Our system evaluates blockchain-based domains by considering: TLD/SLD relevance and matching (e.g., ursus.eth benefits from cohesive branding) Web3 namespace adoption and active usage Community strength and developer ecosystem Real-world utility and integration support Future-Ready for 2026 gTLD Round Because we don't maintain a hardcoded TLD whitelist, Appraise.net is already compatible with upcoming new gTLD extensions from the next ICANN application round. Any new extensions will be automatically evaluated based on their characteristics and market context. Important Notes The TLD is one of 50+ factors considered - a strong name on a decent extension can outvalue a weak name on .com Appraisals include explanations of how the TLD affects overall value Unusual or uncommon TLDs won't be blindly devalued - the complete package is evaluated Perfect for portfolio owners with diverse extension holdings Bottom line: If it's a valid domain format, we can appraise it and provide market-appropriate valuations with transparent reasoning.

Why the Marketplace? Your appraisal becomes a ready-to-sell landing page

Every appraisal you run on Appraise.net does more than return a value. It builds a complete, standalone sales landing page for your domain, ready to publish to our Marketplace. When our appraisal engine studies a domain, it produces the same building blocks a professional sales page needs. We turn those results directly into a listing, so there is no blank page to fill in. What the appraisal turns into a listing A substantive listing title that reads like a real headline, not just the domain spelled out Domain categories that place the name in the right market A written description that explains what the domain is and who it suits A list of strengths drawn from the appraisal analysis The result is a page a buyer can land on, read, and act on. It stands on its own, so you can share the link anywhere. Two ways buyers find your domain A published listing works through two channels at once, and they reinforce each other: Direct type-in traffic: when your listing uses the standalone For-Sale Page, a buyer who types your exact domain into their browser lands directly on a focused, zero-distraction sales page with a clear call to action. This is the highest-intent visitor you can get; they already know the name they want. Marketplace discovery: your listing is also found by buyers browsing our Marketplace. These buyers do not have one specific domain in mind, so our filters for category, price, and tone guide them to the right names. This puts your domain in front of an audience that would never have typed it in. Both channels have value and work together. To learn how to turn on the standalone For-Sale Page for direct traffic, see How to become a seller. Keep more of your sale Our pricing is simple and seller-friendly: keep 96% of your sale, and let the buyer cover payment processing. Our commission is a flat 4%, with no hidden fees taken from your share. Reach more buyers, in more languages Your listing does not just reach English-speaking buyers. Every listing is automatically translated into Chinese and shown to buyers on our Chinese marketplace. One appraisal creates a sales page that works in two of the largest domain markets in the world, with no extra effort from you. See it for yourself Browse the Marketplace to see how it works. You can sort by category, price, and tone. Click any listing to see the default look and feel and to see how the appraisal is used to auto-generate the page. To learn what each part of a listing contains and how you can customize it, read What is in a listing: auto-generated content plus your customization.

What's in a listing: auto-generated content plus your customization

A Marketplace listing has two layers: content that we generate for you from the appraisal, and design choices that you control. Auto-generated from your appraisal These parts are created for you the moment your appraisal completes: Title: a substantive headline for the domain Domain categories: the markets and themes the name fits Description: a clear summary of the domain and its buyer Strengths: the standout qualities found in the analysis Tone: the overall feel of the name, used to group and sort listings You can display or hide the appraised value on the page, so you decide how much to share. Automatic Chinese translation Your listing reaches beyond English-speaking buyers. We automatically translate every listing into Chinese and present it to buyers on our Chinese marketplace. Your title, description, and details are made available to a huge additional audience with no extra work on your part. Customizable look and feel Every listing starts with a clean default design. You can keep the default or make it your own with: Color: set an accent color for the page. Color carries meaning, so choose with intent. Blue suggests trust and calm; green suggests growth and money; black suggests luxury and authority; red suggests energy and urgency. Pick the mood that matches your domain. Background image: add a background that fits the theme of the name. Custom logo: upload a logo to give the page a branded feel. Template: choose the page layout that presents your domain best. Defaults are ready to publish right away. Customization is optional and there whenever you want to stand out. Where your listing lives You can publish your listing as a standalone For-Sale Page at your own domain, or on our Marketplace by verifying with a TXT record. The standalone page also captures buyers who type your domain directly. For a step-by-step guide to both options, see How to become a seller. New here? Start with Why the Marketplace, or see the four ways to sell in Listing types.

Listing types: Buy Now, Lease-to-Own, Make Offer, and Price Inquiry

Every listing uses one of four types. Each one sets how buyers can respond, so pick the one that matches your goal for the domain. Buy Now You set a fixed price and the buyer can purchase instantly. This is the fastest path to a sale. Choose it when you know your price and want a clean, one-click checkout. Lease-to-Own The buyer pays in monthly installments and takes ownership once the plan is complete. Choose it to make a higher price affordable and to reach buyers who prefer to pay over time. Make Offer Buyers submit an offer and you negotiate to a final price. You can set a minimum offer so you only field serious bids. Choose it when you want to test the market or invite negotiation. Price Inquiry No price is shown, and buyers contact you to ask. Choose it for premium names where you prefer to open a private conversation before naming a figure. You can switch types later as your strategy changes. When you are ready to sell, see How to become a seller.

Getting paid safely: payment methods and security

We built the Marketplace so buyers can pay with confidence and sellers get paid safely. Accepted payment methods Card: fast checkout for most purchases Wire transfer: a common choice for larger amounts Escrow.com: a trusted third party holds funds until the domain transfers, ideal for high-value sales Crypto: supported for buyers who prefer it What you keep Our commission is a flat 4% of the sale price, so you keep 96% of every sale. Payment processing fees never come out of your share; the buyer covers them. A 3% surcharge is added to card payments to cover card processing, and it is $0 on wire, bank transfer (ACH), and crypto. Whichever way the buyer chooses to pay, you receive 96% of the agreed sale price. Security and trust Every listing is served on its own individual TLS certificate, so each sales page is independently secured. Our pages earn an A+ rating from Mozilla Observatory, a widely used web security scanner. The Marketplace is operated by Domaincracy LLC, which holds recognized industry credentials: IANA-registered holder Better Business Bureau (BBB) A+ rating Member of the ICANN Business Constituency (BC) Member of the Internet Commerce Association (ICA) For a real sale that settled safely through Escrow.com, read Case study: how Bouncy.com sold for $125,000.

How to become a seller

Selling on the Marketplace is open to domains that meet a simple quality gate and to sellers who complete a quick payout setup. Step 1: Check that your domain qualifies A domain qualifies to be listed when its appraised high value is at least $15,000. Run an appraisal first; if the high end of the estimate meets that bar, the domain is eligible to list. Listing prices start at $500. Step 2: Onboard as a seller with Stripe We handle seller payouts through Stripe Connect, a secure and widely trusted payment platform. You complete a short onboarding to verify your identity and connect where your funds will be sent. Once approved, you can publish listings and receive payments. Step 3: Choose how to publish your listing There are two ways to prove ownership and go live. Your choice decides how buyers reach your listing. To understand the two channels behind this choice, see Two ways buyers find your domain. Option A - Point your nameservers to us (recommended). Set your domain nameservers to ns1.appraise.net and ns2.appraise.net. This unlocks the standalone For-Sale Page at https://your-domain, served on its own certificate, so you capture direct type-in traffic straight to a focused sales page. Choose this to reach the highest-intent buyers who type your domain into their browser. Option B - Verify with a TXT record (no nameserver change). Prefer not to touch your nameservers? Add a single _appraise-verify TXT record to prove ownership. Your listing goes live at appraise.net/marketplace/your-domain and is found through Marketplace browsing and filters. There is no standalone page at your domain in this option, so you do not capture direct type-in traffic. Choose this to list quickly and without any nameserver changes. You can switch to nameservers at any time to enable the For-Sale Page. Step 4: Add an Escrow.com-verified account for high-value sales For larger deals, buyers often prefer to settle through Escrow.com. When you are ready, add an Escrow.com-verified account so you can accept escrow-based payments with confidence. This step is optional at first and becomes valuable as your sale prices climb. Our pricing stays simple as you grow: a flat 4% commission means you keep 96% of every sale, and the buyer covers payment processing. To understand the sale options you can offer, see Listing types. To learn how buyers pay and how listings are secured, see Getting paid safely.

Case study: how Bouncy.com sold for $125,000

Your appraisal can do the same.Appraise your domainBrowse the marketplace Bouncy.com is a clear example of how an appraisal can turn into a completed sale on the Marketplace. Written by the founder of Domaincracy LLC, Appraise.net's parent company. Full disclosure: Bouncy.com was my own domain, and I sold it through the exact pipeline I'm offering you. The listing started with an appraisal I ran an appraisal on Bouncy.com. From that single step, the listing built itself: a substantive title, the right domain categories, a written description, and a list of strengths, all drawn from the appraisal. There was no page to design from scratch. The sales page was ready to share. A buyer arrived by typing the domain The buyer, who stays anonymous here, did not come from a search or an ad. They typed bouncy.com directly into their browser and landed on the standalone For-Sale Page for the domain: a focused, zero-distraction sales page with a clear call to action. This is the highest-intent kind of visitor, and the For-Sale Page turned that direct type-in into a real lead. The buyer negotiated on the deal page From that page, the buyer opened a conversation through the offer page. We negotiated directly, and I accepted an offer of $125,000. The sale settled through Escrow.com To protect both sides, the sale was completed through Escrow.com. The buyer covered the escrow fees. Funds were held safely, the domain was transferred, and the deal closed cleanly at $125,000. And it moved fast: from the first offer to funds in Escrow.com was about 48 hours. Why it matters Bouncy.com shows the full path in action: appraise the domain, publish the auto-generated listing, capture a direct type-in visitor on the For-Sale Page, negotiate an offer, and settle securely in days, not months. Your next appraisal can be the start of the same journey. Ready to begin? See How to become a seller or browse the Marketplace. Growing fast, cutting no corners While we are outgrowing our best expectations, we never skip on the things that protect you: security and uptime. Every page we serve, including this one, scores 105 out of 100 on Mozilla Observatory, above the maximum, for going beyond the baseline on every security header. And the Marketplace runs on geographically redundant, high-availability infrastructure with a standby ready to take over, so your listing and your buyers stay online through maintenance and outages alike.

Is my payment information secure?

Absolutely. We want to reassure you that Appraise.net never stores or has access to your credit card details. When you enter your payment information, it goes directly to Stripe, our payment processor, through their secure checkout system. We only receive a confirmation that the payment was successful - your actual card number, CVV, and other sensitive details are never visible to us or stored on our servers. Stripe is one of the world's most trusted payment platforms, processing billions of dollars for companies like Amazon, Google, Shopify, and millions of other businesses. They maintain the highest security standards: PCI DSS Level 1 certification - The highest level of payment security certification in the industry Bank-level encryption - Advanced encryption and security measures protect all transactions Fraud detection and prevention - Sophisticated algorithms protect against unauthorized charges Support for all major credit cards - Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and more Alternative payment methods - Amazon Pay and other secure options available at checkout Additional security options: You'll notice in the checkout that you can use alternative payment methods like Amazon Pay if you prefer, which adds another layer of separation since you'd be authenticating through Amazon's system rather than entering card details directly.
