Valuations gives every domain in your portfolio an estimated value, worked out automatically, with a history you can watch over time. It is a reference point for reporting and prioritising, not an appraisal or a number anyone has agreed to pay.

These are estimates, not appraisals
How often values update
A domain's stored value does not drift on its own. It only changes when TLDTrack actually recalculates it, which happens in two ways:
- Automatically, once a month. A scheduled job revalues every active domain in your portfolio, whether or not its estimate has changed recently.
- On request, any time. Revalue a single domain immediately from its Valuations tab, or revalue several domains at once (up to 10 in a single request) from the main Valuations page. The main Valuations page also flags any domain whose estimate is more than 30 days old as due a refresh, so you can spot the ones worth revisiting between monthly runs.
Each time a domain is valued, whether automatically or on request, the result is added to that domain's history rather than replacing it, so you get a chart of how the estimate has moved over time instead of only ever seeing the latest figure.
Reading a valuation
Alongside the headline estimate, each valuation carries some context to help you judge how much weight to put on it:
- Low-high range. A spread either side of the estimate, since a single number implies more precision than any estimate can really offer.
- Confidence. How confident the underlying scoring is in this particular estimate, as a percentage.
- Domain type. A best guess at what kind of domain this is, for example brandable, a dictionary word, geographic, keyword-based, or a personal name, since different types are valued differently.
- Category and use cases. The industry or use the domain suits, and a few plausible ways it could be used. These are there to add context to the figure, not to set a price.
Getting a valuation
-
1
Open the Valuations module in Settings > Modules if it is not already switched on for your organisation.
-
2
Open a domain and go to its Valuations tab, or use the standalone Valuations page to see every domain in your portfolio at once.
-
3
Request a valuation for a domain that does not have one yet, or that is due a refresh.
-
4
Check back over time: as fresh valuations are requested or run automatically each month, the history chart fills in and shows the trend.

Good to know
- Valuations is a portfolio-reporting feature, not a monitoring check. It has no alerts of its own.
- Figures are estimates for reference and reporting, not appraisals, valuations for insurance or legal purposes, or a price anyone has agreed to pay.
- A domain's value only changes when it is actually revalued, either by the monthly job or on request, so it will not move day to day on its own.
- Revaluing several domains at once is limited to 10 per request, to keep each batch quick.
- Turning the Valuations module off in Settings > Modules hides it for the whole team; existing history is kept and reappears if you turn it back on.
