Title: Opinion needed for domain development || www.Kolkata.Express
Post by: legendster on December 03, 2018, 02:48:03 PM
I recently acquired a new domain which I think has great potential.

www.kolkata.express

Now, a train service already exists which is called "Kolkata Express" for many years now. In fact many trains that arrive here are colloquially called "kolkata express" regardless of which city they're coming from.
So the most obvious thing to do with this domain would be to set up a train booking & tracking app and/or something that has to do with the travel and tourism sector in kolkata.

But I want to develop this colloquially known brand beyond the immediate train info / travel guidance / local news sharing niche.

The name is so good that it can be it's own monthly / weekly magazine publication as well as a chain of fast food joints or cafes.

And frankly, what do you think this domain is worth? I have gotten appraisal values all the way from 0.02$ (http://www.freevaluator.com/?domain=kolkata.express) to $600 (https://in.godaddy.com/domain-value-appraisal/appraisal/?checkAvail=1&tmskey=&domainToCheck=kolkata.express) or even $800 (https://www.estibot.com/appraise?a=get&id=9865290&domain=kolkata.express&source=appraise)


I have some ideas that I want to explore but I want to know what most of you think about this. So what do you guys think? What niche should I explore with this domain? Can the cryptoverse be plugged into this domain in any way? Let me know.

Based on what you are telling me the domain name is certainly worth developing. I would focus less on what the domain is worth because that is largely arbitrary if it does not have a user base. Crypto doesn't need to be worked into everything. I would suggest starting out with one topic then if it works expanding out into a generalized travel site.

Agreed. If I do not come up with something else unique to add to the pre-existing niche that this colloquial brand caters to then I will indeed start with the most basic and simple approach and then expand as needed.
I just think to be able to acquire this simple yet effective name "www.kolkata.express" is like finding a hidden treasure purely by luck.

I'm just asking for everyone's opinion into what ELSE can be plugged into this, if there's something that I'm not thinking off. Getting an outside perspective if you will..
