Like a credit score for domains
Stop guessing which domains are good.
Buy it, keep it, renew it, or let it go? DomainValueScore rates any domain from 0 to 1000 on quality alone — how strong the name is, not what it might sell for. The same name always gets the same score, with the evidence behind it. Free.
Why you can trust the score
One standard, not one more opinion.
Independent
No marketplace, no commission. The score answers to the data, not a sale.
Objective
The same rules run on every site, the same way.
Reproducible
The same site gets the same score, every time.
Transparent
Every factor shows the evidence behind it.
How it works
Five factors, one quality score.
We read the name itself — how brandable, in demand, liquid, scarce, and low-risk it is — and combine those into one 0-to-1000 score. The same name reads the same whether you own it, want it, or are selling it.

How to read a Domain Value Score
Elite
Ultra-premium, category-defining name: short, liquid, scarce, and clean on every factor.
Premium
Highly desirable name with strong fundamentals and broad market demand.
Strong
Quality name most buyers would shortlist; sells with modest effort.
Good
Solid, usable name with clear value and a few compromises.
Average
Workable name without standout traits; value driven mostly by use, not resale.
Weak
Notable drawbacks (length, characters, extension, or thin demand) limit market appeal.
Poor
Heavily compromised or risk-capped name with minimal expected resale demand.
Who uses it
Made for anyone weighing a domain.
Investors — decide what to buy, keep, or sell
Buyers — judge a name without being an expert
Brokers — put an independent score in every pitch
Registrars — help customers choose
Developers — a score you can call from code
AI agents — machine-readable quality
For sellers
Listing a name? Attach proof, not a promise.
Buyers don't trust a number you picked yourself. A Certified Score is different: one $19 report with the full factor breakdown, a signed PDF certificate, and an on-chain attestation any buyer can verify — built for the listing, the negotiation, and due diligence. Brokers: put an independent score in every pitch.
For publishers
Put free domain scores on your site.
Embed the scorer with one iframe: your visitors score any domain name right on your page, powered by DomainValueScore. Free — no account, no ownership verification, and every result stays an objective score, never an appraisal.
Built for people and AI
Every score, machine-readable.
People read the score on the page. Your code can read the same score as clean JSON — submit a domain, poll for the result, and get a 0–1000 score with its evidence. Made for apps, AI agents, and marketplaces.
