All 99999 NNNNN dot coms were completely registered this month ( ~16th Feb). This marks a significant milestone in the domain name industry as it signifies a growing demand and valuation of domain names. As the world comes online, there is more and more money to be made from the growing number of web users, there are more and more webtreneurs being made, more and more brick and mortar shops wanting a web presence, and as a result, more and more demand for domain names (!).

Up to as late as a week before they were fully bought out, you could still of gotten some good value nnnnn’s. Check out these two that were bought on the 10th Feb!

Most people think that NNNNN are junk or that they are only valuable as a postcode. The reality though, is that these numbered domains are being snapped up by entrepreneurial Chinese webmasters and used as a portal for Chinese content. The reason why they are popular with the Chinese is because of the huge boom they are experiencing there. All of a sudden, a lot of people have a lot of money and a lot of people can suddenly afford a computer to get online. The problem though is that nearly all of them can’t read English. Thus, they have a huge problem remembering domain names, even if they are as easy as abc.com. In this case, 123.com is infinitely more valuable than abc.com. This is why you’ll see that NNNNN.com’s are actually turned into websites rather than just being parked like 80% of the LLLL.com’s.

Those who were smart enough to snap up the NNNNN’s recently have already seen their investment triple in value - NNNNN.com’s are now trading at more than $30 a piece!
