Here at DGD we love domain names. We have been dealing in domain names since early 1998. Guess what, we are still dealing in generic domains in 2026. So you could say we have a very good understanding about what makes a good domain name. But also, we know what makes an average domain name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We specialise in many domain services<\/strong> <\/a>from buying domains on your behalf. Negotiating prices for a domain you might like to purchase. Valuations on domain names you own or simply advising you on which domain names you should be looking to acquire for either personal or business use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Generic domain names are domains that are keyword specific that have not been diluted down by the addition of extra letters of words. A bit like the words in the dictionary. They define a category, product or service. They are not brand or made up words. An example would be the domain name Paving.com<\/strong><\/a>. This is the apex domain, the best domain you could buy if you are somehow connected to the paving business. Why? Because every other domain name would have to add a letter or a word to other domains in the paving category, i.e. apaving.com. There can only be one category defining domain that just contains the word \u201cpaving\u201d. To be honest, there are others but not in .com (which is considered king of all suffixes, the bit the domain ends with)<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a question we get asked on many occasions at DGD. Some people understand straight away, while others just don\u2019t believe the power of these kinds of domains. But guaranteed, once you understand the reason and transformation a generic domain name can make to your business there is no going back. I have followed up months and even years later after we have made a sale of a generic domain and asked the buyer the question of \u201cwould you sell the domain back to me or do you regret buying the domain\u201d. Guess what, I have never received an answer of \u201cyes, I do regret buying the domain\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Generic domains give a great first impression to your business. They are very easy to remember. A generic domain name can be very product specific (does exactly what it says on the tin) which can be excellent for attracting new customers. They are excellent for seo (search engines). They attract a lot of browser direct type in visitors which is a great bonus for any business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quality premium domains are lead generators, brand enhancers, and appreciating assets. All three lead to greater ROI and higher company valuations.- Kate Buckley (Buckleymedia)<\/p>\n\n\n\n We also recognise how difficult it can be for somebody with little experience of domain names to invest in descriptive generic domains instead of just choosing an ordinary name or geo orientated domain name. So this is where DGD can help with advice on what makes a good domain name and how you can use descriptive generic domain names to give your business an advantage over your competition when selling a product or service online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At DGD, all our domain name sales & acquisitions are carried out in the strictest of confidence.
