Why Premuim?
Justifying The Cost
Simply put, a premium domain can greatly impact whether or not your startup or product succeeds or fails. Once you’ve determined that a premium domain has value to your company, you still have to contend with the purchase price. How can you justify paying $10,000, $100,000 or more for a domain?
Let’s consider a $10,000 domain name that you want to buy for a new product launch. That figure might seem crazy. However, ask yourself how the cost compares to your other expenses for the product: your marketing budget, product development costs, etc. It might be that $10,000 might be small compared to other costs. If getting the right domain name contributes to the product’s success, it’s a small price to pay.
Also consider that the $5,000 cost is a one-time expense. If you think you’ll use a domain with all benefits at that cost for ten years, your annual cost is really only about $500.
