Hi, I work with a small marketing firm up here in Canada and we're considering purchasing the domain myinsurance.me from sedo.com

The trick is the price - it's going for about $7000 and in turn, we're trying to get opinions from people in the industry on the actual value of this domain. This would be for a canadian health insurance provider - they're looking to change their brand altogether and move towards a concept that's more familiar to a younger generation: Just like more and more people nowadays have places online for their email, their photos, their facebook profile, etc...

We feel that MyInsurance.me could work as a core branding message, but we figured it wouldn't hurt to get a few more opinions. What does everyone think. Good idea? Bad idea?

Thanks,

J

PS - I'm happy to have found this forum, it looks like something I'll be checking out regularly.

I too am happy to have you amongst us, but in total dark how an insurance community can can help in deciding the value of a domain. Shocked

With my limited understanding about internet business I feel that the domain value depends upon the availability and demand for the domain name. Hence, you're trying to get hold of a very competitive domain name, you're likely to pay more for that.

Also, different domain providers charge differently. Hence, shopping around won't be a bad idea either.

Hope I was helpful Smile

Regards,
Juanita
