    http://nice.st/

    Domain name: nice.st
    Reg date: 28th June 2009
    Usage: Currently private URL shortening
    Niche: No idea, anything that's really nice!?

    I registered this domain towards the end of June 2009 as a personal short URL service for use on twitter etc.

    Just had a completely OTT valuation from stimator.com and it got me wondering if there is true value in this domain?

    Personally I love it (short, friendly, two real words for the price of one (nice and nicest)), but is it of any real value (or could it be in the future)?

    Any thoughts welcome, thanks.

    Been doing some forum digging, and here's some of the "auto value" results!

    stimator.com: $1,263,717 :eek:
    valuate.com: $35 :confused:
    domaintops.com: $470,085 (keyword) $66 (length) :rolleyes:
    estibot: USD reg fee :(
    websiteoutlook.com: $876
    cubestat.com: $102.93

    Also appears the domain may have been in use previously, from as early as 2001 according to archive.org

    So if anything, I've begun to learn the value of online valuation tools, not my domain name!

    I am sorry but estibot is right in this case.
    It is a realy good keyword,but the ccTLD kills its value. .st is good for hack domain or strong keywords only

    try to develop it

    good luck

    So nobody here is going to undercut the stimator.com value and try a cheeky $1,000,000 offer? I wont be insulted if you do. :D ;)

    I'm liking it as a short URL service for myself. Sure it's not the shortest domain, but seeing as it's just me using it and I start with /a I've got a long way to go before I get longer URLs with /a23F4 or whatever!

    Anyone have any further ideas or thoughts on value, or even an approach for development using the "nice", "nicest" or "nice.st" theme/keywords?

    I'd love to know how these domain valuation tools try to figure a value, they vary wildly!

    There are options you can have a nice thought to appraise your site is to attain at open auction. Most common fine way also is to have an inner look of your site and compare it to relevant sites that have recently sold.

    The most appropriate thinking is to realize that site appraisals are not set similar to interest rates and do not have an exact appraisal value like the value between the different currencies. Appraisal value may come out differently to one another based on buyer's perspective, market stand point, the way the presentation of the sale delivered, and etc. You can not find a general formulation or a precise and adopted "measurement" for appraising sites. It is more on a personally assessed thought of the future income a person could make and the thought of the risk as well.
    I hope this could help.
