The power of the “e “
The recent sale of eSPORTS.COM for $1,000,000+ reflects the continued strong demand (and prices) for “e” prefixed domain names. Additionally, short domain names that begin with “e” also show strong demand with recent sales of ETH.COM for $2,000,000 and the sale of ETF.COM for $3,500,000 (in a package sale). This trend is likely to continue well into the future. Why?
Many high-profile businesses choose names that start with an "e" because the “e” leads a person to their website. Examples are:
eBay.com
eTrade.com
eSports.com
eFlowers.com
eBet.com
eBags.com
eBates.com
eTravel.com
eLoans.com
eShow.com
ETH.com
ETF.com
Additionally, tech giants invest in “e” prefixed domain names for the long haul. Examples are below…
eSHOP.COM (Microsoft)
eSPORT.COM (Dicks Sporting Goods)
eSIGNATURE.COM (Adobe.com)
eTOYS.COM (Toys R Us)
eWORLD.COM (Apple)
eNEWS.COM (Barnes and Noble)
eTRADE.COM (invested 1million in ePlay.com in the past)
eMOVIES.COM (eOnline.com)
eROOM.COM (OpenText)
eWEEK.COM (owned by large news site)
These e-prefixed domain names will probably never be available again. When an ultra-short, brandable e-prefixed domain name comes on the market it would be wise for a company to quickly invest in such an appreciating asset.
Here are a few actual e-prefixed and ultra-short “e” domain name sales…
eBET.COM $1,350,000
eFLOWERS.COM $1,000,000
