I’m Mostapha. I buy and sell names from Morocco. I built the Domain Value Checker so I would stop lying to myself with a single dollar. It still lies in other ways. Not because the code is “AI.” Because it only sees the string. How we score is the honest list of fields. This page is the list of rooms those fields never enter. Three pastes that behaved: live valuations. FAQ if you wanted the short version.
A high score that is still a trap
Short .com, sayable, no hyphen. The box is allowed to look proud. Then Wayback is a pharmacy. Then the name is a mark you would not print on a van in that industry. The score did not fail math. It failed the job you hired it for.
I have bid on letters that “felt like a brand” and inherited someone else’s weekend. History first: snapshots, then Wayback. Marks: USPTO and UDRP. A pretty compound can be a complaint. Expired “authority” is often poison: not a treasure. DR is not a second appraisal: not a price.
.com on a leftover still scores 100 on the extension line. That is correct as TLD liquidity and useless as permission. best-ai-tools-online.com is the demonstration. If you only read the green cells, you will buy inventory. Before you buy means read the weaknesses first.
A low score that can still be a company
Two ordinary words, quiet keywords, no “pay” or “insurance” in the compact string. The commercial line looks bored. A founder who already uses that name on invoices does not care. Wholesale looks like the range; retail is a person. A range, not a guarantee exists for that split. Neighbors: NameBio if nothing sold near it, you are not “catching a discount,” you are guessing.
The tool will also under-love a real ccTLD the rest of the world does not type. .ae for a Dubai shop is a product, not a failed .com: when .ae is the right buy. Do not “correct” a local name by shopping suffixes: the ending they already type.
What I do after the number
- Believe the structural insult (hyphen, stuffing, weak TLD). The box is good at leftovers.
- Do not believe the dollar as a bid. Voice.com is a museum sticker. Ours will not print thirty million, and if another appraisal does, that is their religion: record sales.
- Walk history and marks even when the score is pretty. ICANN Lookup is still a page, not a vibe.
- Name a buyer. If you cannot, you are collecting. That is how books fail: why they fail.
An AI yield on top of our score is two costumes: not a reason to buy. Metrics costumes: easy to misuse.
Decision
Use the checker as a first reading of the letters. Use everything else as the bid. If those disagree, the bid wins. Keep the Google row. This is not a disclaimer footer. It is the product.
