Hyphenated Domains are massively undervalued …

I built the site where it was receiving over 1-million hits per month. Unfortunately I forgot to renew the domain - OUCH! J.R.

I would not build a business on a hyphenated name. 1. Too hard to say over the phone. 2. People will forget to type in the dash and you will bleed traffic to the not hyphen name.

Learned this the hard way myself. "Hello Sir. Would you like to buy advertising on sydney dash homes dot org?" "Excuse me?" "I said Sydney dash homes dot org" "One more time?" Nightmare from start to finish. Wouldn't build on it. Yep. Learned this the hard way myself.

“Hello Sir. Would you like to buy advertising on sydney dash homes dot org?”

“Excuse me?”

“I said Sydney dash homes dot org”

“One more time?”

Nightmare from start to finish. Wouldn’t build on it.

I do have some but generally don't seek out hyphenated domains as the demand for such domains is not nearly as strong. When turning down an offer one should consider the odds of acquiring another higher offer and what one could realistically make off of development. Other than minisites, true development is time-consuming and can only be done on a limited number of domains. Best of luck.
