How beginners pick a domain that sells
Most new domain investors buy clever names nobody needs. The names that sell are boring in the best way: the exact words a customer types, often with a city. A roofer in Austin gets calls from austinroofing.com without spending on ads, so the name is worth real money to that business.
- Pick a service people pay well for: roofing, plumbing, dentists, lawyers, HVAC. High job values mean owners spend on marketing.
- Add a city with many of those businesses. More businesses means more possible buyers for one name.
- Stay on .com, keep it short, and spell it the way people say it.
- Never use a brand or trademark in the name: you could lose the domain.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a good domain name to buy and resell?
A name a real business would want: the words its customers search for, often with a city (austinroofing.com). It should be short enough to remember, easy to spell, on .com, and free of any brand or trademark.
Why do city and service names sell well?
A business owner pays for a name that brings customers. Someone searching for a roofer in Austin trusts austinroofing.com, so local businesses see the name as advertising that never expires.
How much should I pay for a new domain?
Register at the normal price, usually $10 to $15 a year for .com. Premium names cost hundreds or more; leave those until you know the market.
How do I sell a domain once I own it?
Find the businesses that would use it and send them a short, personal message. PitchName finds those businesses on Google Maps, scores each one, and helps you write and track the pitches.
Are these domain ideas really available?
Each idea is checked live with public DNS and the registry before it is shown. The registrar confirms it at checkout, as someone else can register a name at any moment.
