Q2 2026 Domain Intelligence Report
As one of the world's leading domain registrars and marketplaces, Dynadot has a close view of how names trade. Our Q2 2026 Domain Intelligence Report draws on more than 54,000 completed sales on our marketplace.
Three takeaways stood out to our team:
- The typical price held: the median sale was $18.87, almost identical to $18.85 in Q2 2025.
- Value sits at both ends: 88.9% of orders closed under $50, and that tier produced about the same share of total value as the under-1% of sales at $1,000 and above.
- Structure defines premium names: among sales above $5,000, none were hyphenated, 57.5% were five characters or shorter, and the median name was already registered in 26 other TLDs (vs. 2 market-wide).
What surprised us most? Age and backlinks barely moved the typical sale price. Demonstrated demand for the string itself, measured by cross-TLD registrations, was the one quality signal that kept working at the top of the market.
For domain investors, naming professionals, and analysts, the lesson is simple: no single metric prices a domain on its own. Length, TLD, and cross-TLD demand each carry weight in different parts of the market.
The full report also covers the quarter's 10 largest sales, TLD medians, and how AI keywords priced in Q2.

Great insights from Dynadot! The data clearly proves that structure and cross-TLD demand drive high-value sales over age or backlinks. Clean, short .com brandables like fespot.com naturally stand out in that top tier when targeting end-users.
