from one of those automatic evaluation sites
with all of our domain names we have a value of over 1 million dollars according to them however i doubt i would walk away with 1 grand in real life

i would say at best the domain would be worth 65-75 with a existing site i wouldnt pay more than 15 for it as the domain

Don't know how much value I would put into the results ( my best Domain Name rating was only $ 2,500 - 25,000 :bawling: ) but it is fun. :D

So what would value if any would you put on this domain.

Yeah, we did wander somewhat, didn't we. :)

Offhand I would not put that value on a Domain Name of "skyhostings.com" because:

A) still lots of good .com Domain Names available for Hosters.

B) I have no experience in the Domain Name valuation market; but I know I good one when I "hear" it.

For example: was anyone aware that "donehost.com" was available at this very moment. If you are reading this more than an hour after this post was created, probably safe to say it's gone by now.

Let's see "skyhostings.com" or "donehost.com" -- which one sounds better. Maybe I should go to that site a do a valuation first. :D

I personally don't think it's worth over the registration costs. Of course, someone else might and be willing to pay a decent amount, or even pay whatever it takes. If this was "skyhost.com", it would be worth far more, which is still a value subject to the people that would find interest. skyhosting.com is worth far less, even without knowing the value of skyhost.com. And, further, skyhostings.com is worth much, much less than skyhosting.com, because it's a plural form and skyhostings.com sounds grammatically incorrect. That is just my opinion, of course, but maybe you'll have some people that are interested.
