hyphens can indeed be very useful - I've noticed that expertsexchange have finally got a hyphen in their name - for years they were ruefully hyphenless.

Useful to humans indeed - but unfortunately devaluing. If your not looking to sell (as I am sure experts exchange arn't) then it doesn't really make a lot of difference.

Also I am sure they still own the hyphenless name as well as the now hyphened name.

The main disadvantage associated with hyphenated domains is it's too easy to forget the hyphen(s) when typing the domain name or to make errors, as a result of which most users will end up on your competitor's website hostings.

That is a very good point. If you see an advert outside for "www.mysite.com" what do you remember in your brain - mysite.com. If you see "www.my-site.com" what do you remember in your brain - mysite.com again. You don't often think "my" "hyphen" "site.com".

A hyphenated domain is never a priority but people may go for this if they don't wish to register a very long domain name and want to get their domain name in specific tld only. Ironically the hyphenated domain version is easier to read as usually it has compound words while without hyphen domain name is easy to type, both have some advantage. A hyphenated domain name can do much better which have good quality content compare to rubbish content on a short & without hyphen domain name.

I prefer domains without hyphens. I might consider getting a domain name with a hyphen if the desired domain is already registered and there aren't any alternatives left.

With being away for a while, I'm catching up on the forums and when we hit the hypens comments, this was the first website hosting that sprang to mind. Lol. Evidently great minds think alike!

I think in certain level the domain appraisal could work to find out the possible buyers.

Default Best Place to Sell Domain Names: http://sell.your.name

Hi,

The best place to sell domain names online, in my opinion, is http:/sell.your.name

The website is designed for only domain name auctions and the best part is for a limited of time, there is no listing fee and no final value fee.

They are doing very secure domain name transfers between buyer and seller with their subsidiary http:/register.your.name

I would give it a chance at least list my domain name up for auction there. They know what they are doing. 7/24 email support is great.

I have tried all major domain auction websites but they are all looking to earn more. http:/sell.your.name is the cheapest one besides it is the most secure one.

Best .

DP is only good for getting some idea about the prospective evaluation.If you want to SELL, eBay is the best place.

If you want to sell a premium domain name for solid price, you can also try out Namepros, it has Fixed Price and High Priced domains section which attracts many potential buyers.

Hm, interesting seeing how much hyphens seem to be a no-no... so is it just the remembering/mistaking issues that are worrying or is there any negative effect on Search Engine Optimization or anything else? Cheers.

Hello,

Sedo is the best place for selling domains, Ebay is also a good to get a good price. There is one more way for this is to advertise the domain name is the very high traffic forums. You can also give a try at Yahoo auction. have heard something like this for godaddy as well, As it is also a domain reseller.

Regards,
Ken.
