Premium domain names
A premium domain name can generate value
A premium domain name is, in essence, a domain name that is identified as appealing. In most cases, it is short, easy to remember and catchy. Its price can be determined by the registry, so it will be sold at a fixed price, or determined by its current owner who is reselling it on the aftermarket.
Multiple advantages that set you apart
For your customers: An easy-to-remember address
Premium domain names are generally short and include keywords that can be easily remembered.
For your visibility: Boosted SEO ranking
For your business: A valuable asset
A solid foundation for your organic SEO
Nowadays, many SEO specialists choose to buy premium domain names so that their sites get better search engine rankings. Why?
Because they include keywords that internet users frequently use.
When a person uses a search engine, websites with these keywords in their address are more likely to be higher up the search rankings.
An asset for your business
Buying a domain name can be like renting a property. You need to renew the domain name every year in order to benefit from all its associated services (email, website).
However, you own the domain name and you can keep, use, transfer, lease or resell it.
Buying and reselling domain names can therefore become a lucrative business like many others. You can “invest” in your domain name and resell it as needed, like any other intangible asset owned by your company, while also respecting the rights of all parties involved.

Your questions answered
Why is a premium domain name useful?
A premium domain name, like a generic domain name, serves as a shop window for your business or your project. It also provides internet users with a way to contact you.
When you link your domain name to a web hosting plan, you can create an email address with your company name, build a website (using WordPress and PrestaShop modules, for example), or simply store your data. Complete your online presence by configuring your server’s DNS zones and your IP address.
Don’t forget that a domain name can be reserved in alongside several others as part of a global visibility strategy. If you want to retain exclusivity and avoid any competition, it is best to identify and register the domains that are similar to yours. You can even set up redirections so that all these addresses point to your primary domain name.
What do I do if my domain name is unavailable?
Want to reserve a domain name, but it is no longer available? This means that it has already been registered. In this case, there are several solutions:
- Change part of your domain name. You can add dashes or keywords, for example, and reserve a name that is slightly different from the one you originally had in mind.
- Contact the current owner via WHOIS or using our contact form. However, this option has a low success rate.
- Choose another extension. Rather than focusing on generic extensions, you can analyse the different geographical extensions and reserve a name that will resonate locally for your target audience.
- Wait for the domain name to expire and return to the public domain, then you can then retrieve it. Information on its creation and expiry dates will be available on Whois.
