Who this database is for

Domain sellers

Link to the relevant industry ranking from your sales page as an independent reference. Attribution wording and a source badge are available on the citation page.

Buyers and businesses

Understand the scale of documented transactions before a negotiation, and the distance between a record price and the median. For help acquiring a particular domain, Domainbroker.de handles negotiations and brokerage.

Journalists and researchers

Use documented figures rather than rumors. Published rankings are available under CC BY 4.0; background information and tailored extracts can be requested.

Valuers and professional advisers

Comparable sales provide evidence for domain valuation. We can prepare extracts by category or domain pattern for individual cases.

How the data is prepared

Sources include marketplace reports, DNJournal, industry forums and evidence-backed private sales. Original amounts and currencies are retained. English rankings use US dollars: original USD prices, documented source conversions or historical exchange rates under our published methodology. Failed transactions and unsupported rumors are excluded.

Confidential transactions are missing from public statistics. A ranking therefore cannot establish the ceiling of the market. Read the methodology.

Understand the numbers

Our six guides explain sale prices versus valuations and registration fees, finding comparable sales, the limits of record prices, domain-only transactions, sale dates and exchange rates, and the meaning of the venue column. Read the guides.

Coverage and data enquiries

Rankings are published where the documented transactions support a useful list. The underlying collection covers additional extensions and sales beyond the published rankings. The full database is not publicly searchable, and this site does not offer public downloads.
