Jon Nevett, CEO of Public Interest Registry, thinks that the future belongs to .org domains:
“There was also ample evidence of interest in high quality .org domains in the aftermarket with prices that often ran into five figures and could go even higher. That has held true through the years. In 2018, Q.org sold for $500,000, Star.org for $225,000, AAH.org for $63,700 and Center.org for $45,000. The 2019 sales season has just started but we’ve already seen Email.org change hands for $25,000. Those kinds of sales show how valuable well chosen .org domains can be beyond the every day price of a registration.”
Jon hinted, “I think .org is our crown jewel and our efforts are going to go toward polishing it and making it even better. We are also looking at a Quality Index (for TLDs) – looking at improving the quality of domain names across the eco system and rewarding registrars that discourage abuse. We’re already among the highest in that respect and we want to be even higher.”
