Just a few questions,
Are those names premium
because of their high selling/renewal price?
or because they are bought directly from the registry?
or just because they are 2L domains?
or because of their age?
Thanks.
I have read different articles and views about what a premium domain is and got confused more and more . for example, Airline.me and Airlines.me were registered 14 yrs ago. Can we classify them as premium domains in the dot ME space considering the age,one word and keyword?..if the answer is yes it means there are so many premium domains existing and if the answer is NO then how exactly can we describe a premium domain? More opinions on this topic are welcome.
