New York, NY – OnlineBusiness.com, a digital marketplace for premium domains and starter sites, discussed the recent rise in popularity for .xzy domains and what is behind the newfound interest in this gTLD. From one of the biggest rebrands to an emerging industry, as well as traditional gTLD advantages, these all tie into the rise of .xyz domains and were the main topic of commentary provided by founder Michael Santiago.

In its rebranding rollout plan, Alphabet, formerly known as Google, made, at that time, a radical decision in changing their domain name. With the relevant .com’s, Alphabet.com and ABC.com already taken they decided to use abc.xyz. This put .xyz domains on the map and further legitimized the extension as an alternative to a .com.

.xyz’s are now one of the most popular new gTLD’s to start the year with more than 4 million domains registered, accounting for 16% of gTLDs market share, according to Statista. A big contributing factor in the 4 million domains registered is the movement of Web3 and the crypto industry. 

“We are seeing new trends as a result of an evolving internet. The move to Web3 alongside the resurgence of crypto is shaping new patterns and ways of the internet, one of which is the wider acceptance of .xyz and other gTLDs. Before, if you didn’t own the .com, you may have been thought of as less trustworthy. Now, if you can only acquire the .xyz, you might even be considered more modern, especially when it comes to Web3 and crypto companies,” said Michael Santiago, founder of OnlineBusiness.com.

Another advantage it has going for it is that .xyz’s are affordable and relatively available. .xyz’s have become a viable alternative for companies looking to purchase a domain name if their .com counterpart is not available or out of reach financially. It appears any company that goes this route would not miss a beat nor have any branding issues with its target audience.

“Of course, no one believes .xyz’s will eventually flip .com’s, however, there is most definitely a place for .xyz in the digital landscape that we predict will only continue to grow as we move into Web3 and the metaverse,” added Santiago.

In keeping up with this trend, OnlineBusiness.com has continued to acquire .xyz domain names as part of their portfolio to add to their marketplace. They also offer free consultations for anyone who is looking to find the right domain for their company.

New York, NY – OnlineBusiness.com, a reputable marketplace for premium domain names and starter sites, shares insights on the importance of having a domain name upgrade strategy when companies look to rebrand. 

“Why do companies rebrand, is a question that many visitors coming to the site ask us. And us being in the domain industry, that’s an easy question to answer. Rebranding allows a company to adapt, thrive, and grow as a new, fresh brand amid the global health crisis as many businesses continue to pivot to the new digital ways consumers are shopping,” said Michael Santiago, Founder of OnlineBusiness.com.

Companies rebranding should plan their domain name upgrade as early as possible because it can provide them new opportunities as they attempt to grow their business. Those that rebrand to their best domain name are seen to be more credible which leads to higher trust from their target market and ultimately leads to higher sales and revenue. For instance, when HiveTeams.com (a productivity platform) rebranded to Hive.com, it saw an increase of 45 percent in web traffic and conversions, according to NamePros.com. 

OnlineBusiness.com lists some domain name tips to help those companies who are currently considering a rebrand by upgrading their domain name:

Exact Match Domain: Companies using the exact match domain or the best domain for their brand can ensure more clarity of their brand and can translate to higher conversion rates. 

Domain Extension Variations: If budget and unavailability don’t allow for exact match, then talk about .net alternatives vs dashes or numbers with a .com. Use .net, .org, or any other domain extension instead of dashes or number domains.  If companies don’t end up with the exact match domain, they should choose the best domain extensions that lend more credibility. And nowadays that could also include newer extensions such as .io, .ai, and more recently .xyz.

Protecting Your New Brand: Another tip that helps protect a new domain upgrade when rebranding is by registering your new domain’s common spellings and variations, phonetic equivalents, singular and plural variations, and the hyphenated version of your domain. Applying these strategies can ensure that you’re protecting your brand and business by redirecting users to your new primary domain.

OnlineBusiness.com offers free consultations for those looking to rebrand and upgrade their domain name or those looking to start a new business and are seeking their best domain name options.

New York, NY – As 2022 begins, OnlineBusiness.com, a top digital marketplace for premium domains and starter sites, reveals the best rebranding tips for companies looking to refresh their company image in 2022. Amidst the pandemic outbreak that led to new business dynamics and a changing marketing landscape, OnlineBusiness.com asks the question why do companies rebrand, and how rebranding could help companies reposition their business to stay relevant heading into the new year as the world still faces a global crisis. 

According to Entrepreneur, businesses rebrand once every 7-10 years on average. With the pandemic, many businesses were forced to shut down while others had to pause their plans to expand. However, this also can provide an opportunistic time for companies to reconsider their business approach model and offerings. 

“We are here to help businesses to successfully rebrand in 2022. OnlineBusiness.com assists companies to rebrand by finding the best domain name to reposition their business, adapt to the changes, and accommodate the changing customer needs during these turbulent times,” said Michael Santiago, founder of OnlineBusiness.com.”

OnlineBusiness.com highlights the top 5 rebranding tips for businesses in 2022:

1. Redefine Your Company’s Mission, Vision, and Values. Companies need to reassess and define their brand voice, values, and why they exist to develop strong branding.
2. Create a Rebranding Strategy. A rebrand rollout plan ensures a smooth transition during a rebrand. Failure to strategize a rebrand can lead to loss of sales and customer trust.
3. Consider the Market, Audience, and Competition. Rebranding could mean a total transformation to look ‘new’ in the eyes of the audience, market, and competitors so it’s critical to consider these elements.
4. Collaborate with Your Team. Communication is key to successful rebranding. Consult and collaborate with your team and stakeholders on the important aspects and decisions of rebranding.  
5. Change the Name of Your Company. Domain names are as important to the rebranding process as the company name itself. And many times they can be the official company name. The best domain uses the .com extension and is short, easy to spell, memorable, and brandable.

The unpredictable changes happening globally signal the urgency to reposition and rebrand to adapt and thrive in these volatile times and accommodate the evolving consumer needs. Rebranding could be as subtle as an internal change within the company or it could be a whole rebrand that includes a marketing campaign with logo and name change.

New York, NY – OnlineBusiness.com, a digital marketplace for premium domains and starter sites has updated their blog to help educate their readers on the latest trends and stories in the industry. One such trend the OnlineBusiness.com Team has noticed is the interest in people looking at acquiring a ready made website for sale. They believe it’s due to the post-pandemic landscape of people trying to start a new online business and looking at it as a new opportunity. 

“As always being a leader in offering a turnkey website for sale or an affiliate website for sale, we want to educate this new segment of people that have turned to us for ready made sites. There are many advantages in owning a ready-made site, but it is not the magical overnight money maker some people believe it to be,” said Michael Santiago, founder of OnlineBusiness.com. “We don’t just want to be a marketplace for domains and websites, we want to be the right marketplace for domains and websites for our clientele. And that starts with a proper understanding of what we are offering and selling.”

A ready made website at its core is a website that is in effect, ready to go, out of the box. It has a concept and fits within a niche, sometimes already generating traffic and potentially some revenue. It comes with the idea that it will help jumpstart a business owner to succeed in a shorter period of time and with a higher chance of success. Though not a totally new concept in the digital marketing space, it remains very much in demand as it helps people launch into a niche quickly. 

There are, however, some things to note when looking to purchase a ready made website. Although it is helping one get out of the gate faster, that doesn’t mean it still won’t involve additional time and resources. Ready made websites help business owners find more time to focus on areas of their expertise on the business while cutting out areas they would have spent that time on. If one is an expert in a certain niche, a ready made website could be the perfect shortcut to a very profitable formula.

“Consider it like real estate and purchasing a fixer-upper. The buyer knows that there will have to be some work done to a fixer-upper, however they know if they dedicate the time and/or resources to it, they’ll come out with a higher profit if they decide to flip it or rent it,” continued Santiago.

When it comes to looking for a ready made website for sale there are a few things to look out for:

• It’s SEO friendly – Run a web audit and inspect the site’s backlinks for toxic links
• It’s budget friendly – Make sure it makes sense financially knowing there may be more resources to put in
• It’s easy to manage for you – It’s in a niche you understand and the website is easy to manage from your standpoint

Another very important step prior to purchasing is knowing the next steps post-acquisition. OnlineBusiness.com helps their clients post-purchase with next steps such as SEO optimization and securing the website.

New York, NY – The editorial team of OnlineBusiness.com had a chance to discuss various topics with founder Michael Santiago. Most recently focusing on acquiring new domains in emerging markets and helping solopreneurs looking for a ready made website for sale, digital marketer, SEO specialist, and domainer for the past 20 years, Mr. Santiago had the opportunity to reflect on the pandemic. 

“There was obviously a lot of uncertainty at the beginning of the pandemic. We decided it was prudent to stand by to see where the dominos fell, and of course, focus on family safety,” said Mr. Santiago. “After a few months, we started to see the unveiling of a new normal, one that puts digital marketing and presence at the forefront. We looked at the opportunity to start marketing once again and acquiring new domains for the marketplace.”

As a result, OnlineBusiness.com recorded one of its highest revenue years in domain and website sales, an overall trend that seems to resonate across the industry. 

In a time when some companies continue to slowly ramp back up, OnlineBusiness.com took the opportunity to acquire many new domain names within emerging industries.

“We took a calculated risk in understanding there will be a bounceback and wanted to be ready for that turn, especially industries that were about ready to emerge prior to the pandemic,” continued Mr. Santiago.

Some of the industries OnlineBusiness.com focused its acquisition efforts on were:

• Cryptocurrency and NFTs
• Cannabis/CBD
• Metaverse/VR 
• News/Media
• SEO

With these acquisitions, OnlineBusiness.com continues to add to its extensive portfolio of premium domains as well as offering those looking for a turnkey website for sale or an affiliate website for sale.

“The term ‘starter site; is one, if you haven’t already come across it, that will be one of the top trends of 2022.

With that comes a lot of new ideas and innovations from small businesses and individuals who are looking to enter a lot of up and coming verticals,” said Michael Santiago, founder of OnlineBusiness.com. “They will want to be agile and quick in order to try and corner their piece of the market they are in. Starter Sites are the answer.”

• A premium domain name
• Potential traffic and SEO footprint to build off of
• Potential revenue and leads coming in already
