Placing fair value on a domain name requires some analysis of potential type in traffic, brandability (is the name something that is easy to remember), keywords in the domain name may also be important as search engines use URL's to index websites today. Some domain names have sold for millions of dollars, examples of names that fetched millions include Business.com, Men.com, AltaVista.com and many others.  There are domain names available for joint venture development or for the right amount they can be purchased outright. Many buyers are looking for operational websites versus just buying a parked domain name and we are always looking for developers that want to design turn key websites and share in the sale proceeds when the sites are sold to investors. If you are a developer that wishes to invest time in return for large returns upon the sale of the property (websites/portals). The ideal partner would be developers that have web hosting capabilities in addition to page design and programming talent.
