If the name for your blog is no longer available, all is not lost. Even if you have to invest up to 1,000 euros, the investment can pay off.

If you have ever looked for a free domain to create a blog, you may have noticed that many of your ideas for names were already registered by other people. In 90% of cases, there is no website set up. Even so, at first glance, there is nothing you can do about it since you do not have access to this domain to use it.

The market for buying and selling domains already registered by third parties
There is a market for buying and selling domains. Many people, job seeker phone number also called domainers, speculate on this as a way of investing their money. On portals where companies such as Sedo facilitate the meeting between sellers and buyers, we find 4 types of domains:
Short domains : names or numbers with 4 or fewer letters or numbers. In Spain, 3-letter domains can no longer be registered because they are all taken.
Fantasy domain names : These are typically cool-sounding names. The domainer speculates that a company might be created in the future with the same name and would need to purchase it.
Premium domains : These are domains with high commercial potential of 1-2 words ending in “.com”, e.g. vodka.com was sold in 2006 for 3 million dollars .
Generic domains : combinations of 2-3 keywords ending in “.net”, “.es”, “.de”, etc. that describe services, products or concepts.
What investing in a good generic domain gives you
From a buyer's point of view, there are good opportunities to find a good generic domain ending in “.es” or “.net” for between 200-900 euros. In these times, this is a lot of money, but especially if your goal is to attract customers or earn money with your blog, it may be reasonable to take this step.
