Age of a website increases its value? What if it is an old domain, but has only recent webcontent?

The value of a domain (no content) increases as the domain gets older by years.
ie, a domain to be sold, which was registered in 2003 (14 years old), would sell for a higher price than if it was registered in 2013 (just 4 years old).

So the exact same domain which is 14 years old will hold a higher value than if it was only registered for 4 years.

-----

If a domain was registered 10 years ago, but had No hosting on, and no content on, but within the past 3 months then had its first hosting, and first content (good SEO articles, unique content etc)

then does the value consider the fact that it is 10 years old? (or as the content is only 3 months old, then the website value will Not really consider the past 10 years of the solo domain / which had NO content on.

in other words, is the 'solo' age of the domain a valuable factor, regardless of if content was placed on that website or not within them 10 years?

 

In the past the age of a domain was a powerful factor. Not anymore. If your domain name was just sitting there without any site/content for 10 years, it has the same value as a domain name that was registered today.

 

FYI I just let a 14 year old domain name expire. It wasn't worth the $11.99 renewal fee to me because I wasn't going to ever use it. Age of domain does not add to value. However you may find a domain geek that would be interested in a pre-1995 domain. But who knows what it's worth to them.
