Our industry probably hasn’t seen any .FM domain sales in the domain name marketplace, but here is one that may change the way people look at the potential value that such domains hold.

Following a few weeks of negotiation with a fellow domainer, we have considered his initial bid of $300 for the domain name, Webmaster.FM.  To give the community a chance to bid on it, we have decided to take it to a 7-day auction through Sedo.com.

According to Valuate.com, the domain name is worth $820!

The one-word, generic dictionary term domain was registered back in January 2000 by Michael Schoenboeck, a registrant located in Austria.  Michael let the domain expire on the 25th of January of this year – the day we picked it up.

According to Sedo, the domain name has received 10,696 visitors for the past month!

A webmaster is someone who is in charge of a website, especially someone who does that as their job.

There are 192,000,000 results for the term “webmaster” on Google!

All gTLDs for “webmaster.(ext)” have already been taken long ago!  The domain is also taken across popular ccTLDs.

Domain is great for a podcasts and/or radio station website (eg. www.WebmasterRadio.FM), or just anyone interested in the pouring traffic that this domain name delivers.
