Hi everyone,
I’m very excited to share some of my top domain acquisitions of recent time. My last post on acquisition was in March 2020.
Today I’ll start once again by sharing another 3L domain FLM.com which I recently acquired. This is my 3rd 3L .com domain purchase after GRO.com and EJH.com and I’m very happy with this domain to be added in the portfolio.
QMBS.com, MMDW.com and FOIK.com – As always I’m slowly acquiring 4L .com domains and I like the formula of Shane Cultra of having 7%-10% of 4Ls in a portfolio and I’m having somewhat around 7% of 4Ls in my portfolio as well.
TAQ.org and TAS.org – I’ve purchased a few 3L .orgs to date but so far no success. Though I’m very confident in selling 3L .org in the future.
LEN.CO, HIH.CO, HJS.CO, LiveStreaming.CO, Parkinson.CO, Comms.CO and Agro.CO – I’ve had good success with .CO domains by selling several domains in 4-5 figures. 3L and 1 word domains are good to invest in my opinion. Rarely I’ve invested in 2 word .CO domains like LiveStreaming and maybe I’ve two more domains of 2 word at max.
OnlineCharity.com – For many years, I’ve witnessed that “online” keyword is in constant demand and both these terms together makes it a good domain.
RehabMed.com – Short version of Rehab Medical, Rehab Medicine and even Rehab Media. I like this short one better than all variants. That’s just my opinion. What’s your take?
TheRay.com and TheToken.com – Domains with “the” keyword works very well and lately the prices are skyrocketing unlike in the past where we could buy such domains for a reasonable amount.
EmilyJane.com – This domain has a very interesting story. I sold this domain previously in 2013 for $5,165. Recently I checked this domain was not resolving to the page which it used to be in the past. I contacted the previous owner but they didn’t own it anymore. I found this domain was under brokerage of GritBrokerage so I had to get in touch with them to buy it. Thanks to Brian Harbin of GB for making the deal smooth and all ended well.
Vivante.com, WildThyme.com, EcoSun.com, FirstServe.com, RainbowCrystal.com, WireFree.com, EliteAgency.com and ArtWood.com – These are the types of domains I really like to invest in. With current hot auction prices, I’m now focusing more on private acquisitions and these are not easy to acquire both in terms of negotiation as well as prices.
Architeck.com – Another example of one word brandable domain.
PowerOfYes.com – Although it’s a 3 word domain but I believe it’s a good domain with positive meaning attached to it.
LeveragedFinance.com – Already have a very few finance related domains so this one was a nice little addition to the portfolio.
Torben.com – Quite a popular name as per LinkedIn which shows 19,000 people.
Labio.com – It means “lip” in Spanish language. Also it’s a 5L, pronounceable and highly brandable domain. Not only this domain can be used for lip surgeries, cosmetics, etc. But it can be used for other different purposes due to it’s catchy brand.
GlobalCrypto.com – A domain selling in 6 figures in the future 😉
Many of those domain acquisitions were private and I regularly use DotDB service for buying domains as it helps in understanding how many potential endusers already exist. So make sure you’re using DotDB and their PRO plan is recommended for which you can get a 7 days trial in case you’re not sure if it’s worth it or not.
Feel free to share your recent acquisitions and/or give your feedback on the domain acquisitions.
nice collections @AbdulBasit Makrani What’s the median cost of these acquisition or total cost if you can share.
Thank you Ibrahim brother for your feedback. I usually don’t share my exact acquisition costs but I’ve decided to share somewhat in my next acquisition post which I plan to do within this year and that’s going to be pretty specific as well.
About the recent purchases mentioned in this post, I can tell you that those domains have cost me around 75K.
Nice Acquisitions Abdul Bhai. I personally like GlobalCrypto.com and TheToken.com the most. All the best with the sales in advance.
Thank you Mohit bhai for your feedback and comment.
I’m very surprised to see you and several other fellow friends have said the same domains of their choice and not FLM. Always good to know what’s the thought process of others which gives some ideas and angles to study.

Thanks for sharing 🙂
Some really great additions here- absolutely love GlobalCrypto.com! You should do very well- all the best.
Thanks for your feedback and I appreciate you commenting.
Best wishes! 🙂
Do you believe 0% chance that new domains being popularized can freeze or lower value of some .coms?
It it 100% impossible that domain names like leveraged.finance can hinder your prospects for leveragedfinance.com?
I like to know where blogger domainers stand. It seems to becoming a contentious issue.
Also, if you would rather suggest new domains won’t HINDER, but actually create a BOOM for .com domains (a widely held view), you’re welcome to let us know that too!
Honestly I like to know: if in your mind, are such domain alternatives ever considered in your processes?
Thanks for taking time to comment and asking questions.
It’s not like I’ve been investing in .com so I’ll take the side of this extension but we’ve to discuss based on the facts. And the facts are very obvious to everyone. Even there are new gTLD sales happening every day but these sales are in no way hurting .com but in actual driving more traffic towards the .com
Another fact is that the fastest selling TLD is .com and no one is comparable yet in quick selling as well as for top dollars.
Ok. I don’t want to dig into too many facts/trends of today, because that would be a whole blog post. I do say, ‘looking at today’ is dangerous thinking. And almost traditional investor focuses on that. Most people in a macro sense, make money by looking into the future, and even embracing and understand that change happens. Maybe too much philosophy though. But also domains aren’t like most investments. As much as we like to think they have intrinsic value, the value is mostly derived from perception. That is because everyone can use the same ones with different efficacy. I… Read more »
Thanks for sharing your point of view and I appreciate that. But what matters the most is facts and figures as an indicator to understand. If we go back 10 years or 20 years back or even look at the current market situation, one can clearly see if .com is ruling or the nGTLDs.
I’ll give you the highest compliment possible. You are a young Mike Berkens.
Thank you Tony! 🙂
Nice list, I like EcoSun.com. With more people moving towards energy independence, sounds like a great brand!
Thank you Andrew for your feedback and I totally agree with you on the potential of EcoSun.com
By the way, I’ve always liked your TechnologyGroup.com 😉
Good value acquisitions.I see lots of good value sales and high returns.I see CSC coming for leveragedfinance .com(don’t sell cheap).Rehabmed. com ,I see a 5 figure sale 🙂.
The others definitely worth same sale range .The 3Ls are top of the line so I know you always aim for the best 6 figures.
Thank you for the insights on what kind of names you buy.
Nice acquisitions 👏👏.
Thanks my friend for your feedback and suggestion. These are really my hard earned domains and none of them will go cheap for sure. Also I’ll make sure to report the sales of these domains if and whenever that happens.
Yeah, 3L .com are always a minimum 6 figs to me. You’ve quite understood my pricing and strategy in pricing 😉
Great acquisitions sir
Shukriya Harman bhai!
Great acquisitions Abdul Basit.
Thank you Sam! 🙂
Some nice acquisitions..
I really like – GlobalCrypto,TheToken,EcoSun and Agro.co
Wish you well with your sales and Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Niz for your feedback. It’s surprising to see most of you liked GlobalCrypto and TheToken 🙂
Thanks for sharing. I love GlobalCrypto.com, Agro.c, FLM.com, Labio.com
In between, I own MedRehab..com
Hi Praveen!
Thanks for sharing your favorite one’s.
Wow! What a small world we’re living in. You’ve the exact same domain but the opposite one! That’s a good one too.
Please provide the details of how much you paid for the domains and please provide how much $$$$ you are keeping for maintenances.
I guess you have to sell to get cash and then buy again….it is like chasing the tail.
Do you think this is sustainable?
I understand what you’re trying to say here… I’ve seen many people just share the domains they sell but never the exact cost or approx cost which is not a good thing to do by sharing half the detail and leaving the rest hidden. And I’m not one those people. I would like you to check my Afternic experience reports from Jan-Sep where most of the time if not everytime I’ve shared the total acquisition costs of all those domains as well as holding time. That will give you enough idea about my model if it’s sustainable enough or not.… Read more »
Only you know about your own finances!!
It’s the case with everyone and I try to share and be open as much as possible.
Thanks for understanding.
Great acquisition. Like thetoken and globalcrypto a lot. Would be helpful to know a range of acquisition price you paid to acquire? Also, how to go acquiring privately? A couple insight would be be very helpful if you don’t mind to share. Thanks and good luck
Thank you Venkatesh for sharing your choice of domains.
About the recent purchases mentioned in this post, I can tell you that those domains have cost me around 75K.
For the strategy behind acquiring privately, I’ll think and see if it’s possible and share it with you all.
Best wishes!
Great names. I like Globalcrypto.com
Thank you Raymond!
It seems this domain along with TheToken was the favorite of most 😀
Hey Abdul, how are you doing? how has your week been? I hope you are well. You have acquired a great selection of domains, and sharing them with us in your blog post is great. Did you buy EmilyJane.com for the second time, to repeat the same process? as you did first time around in 2013, (which is sell it at a higher rate than you purchased it?) or you bought it again for a different plan/ purpose in mind? Otherwise Abdul you make profits on your domain sales and then you reinvest these profits to buy more domains. You… Read more »
Hi Matt! Always pleasure to hear from you. I’m doing great and hopefully you’re doing well too. You’ve been very open with your feedback and I like the way you present it. Well I bought EmilyJane again for reselling purpose only. Yes, this time the purchase price was definitely higher than in the past. I’m sure it will sell again when the right buyer comes in because this domain is a valuable one due to it’s common nature of person name. I usually use LinkedIn when buying person names and LI shows over 900 people with the same name. These… Read more »
Yes Abdul I am doing fine too thanks.
Thanks for the additional post links,
Enjoy your weekend!
Matt Morgan
That’s great to know!
Likewise my friend 🙂
I like GlobalCrypto.com
I currently have:
GlobeCrypto.com
LoanCrypto.com
Thanks for your feedback and sharing your domains. Quite matching domains!
your acquisitions are solid. It meets the commercially viable metrics desired by end-users. All the best.
Thank you so much Tauseef bhai for your feedback.
Hi AbdulBasit,
Still going through your older posts. Thank God for the internet and for your willingness to share your knowledge.
What is your opinion about misspelled single-word domain names, or less popular alternative forms of common words?
For example: collesion (dot) org (instead of collision), restrection (dot) org (instead of restriction), socialyze, mechanical (technical) etc. Also considering the TLDs.
Thank you so much!
Thank you! 🙂
Misspelled single word domains are good to invest but my suggestion is that domain should be in .com and a strong keyword. I’ve sold several (some of them shared in this blog) and holds a few like Kitchn.com and Dgtal.com
