The Greenest Domains on Earth: A Look at Premium “Green” Dot Coms
Green.com | For Sale | Registered in 1999
The Green.com website currently resolves to a glorified “domain for sale” landing page which I believe is using some Jedi mind tricks. Below the fold is a promotional blurb for the fabulous Entertainment.com coupon book.
GoGreen.com | Active | Registered in 1997
The ever popular catch phrase “Go Green” is currently owned by an organization based in Vancouver Canada that supports go green transportation initiatives. Content is under review as the splash page says, but I genuinely did enjoy the “Seven Great Ways To Get Around” feature, nice retro clip-art!
GreenPlanet.com | Active | Registered in 2003
This beauty is owned by Green Planet Environmental Ltd, a non-profit organization based in Liverpool England. They make the planet green by developing sustainable products that work with nature for areas in most need such as Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Aboriginal Australia.
GreenEarth.com | Doomed | Registered in 1997
Currently a “Coming Soon” message. A quick glance at Archive.org reveals that in all GreenEarth.com’s 12 years, it has never really been used, kinda sad! Soon to be some form of marketplace for green products, we’ll see.
GreenMagazine.com | Active | Registered in 2001
The Green Magazine for none other than… John Deere tractor enthusiasts? You guessed it!
GreenEnergy.com | Forwards | Registered in 1997
Forwards to TransAlta Wind’s Vision Quest Windelectric business channeling the power of wind into local power grids.
GreenMovement.com | Parked | Registered in 2005
Finally a domain that needs a home! GreenMovement.com is currently parked. A look at the whois shows that it is owned by somebody livin’ it up in the Grand Cayman Islands. Hey Frank, is that you? 
GreenProducts.com | Active | Registered in 1997
This Iowa based trucking company processes corn cobs into all kinds of great pet bedding and litter. The potential is lacking, technically this company isn’t “Green” in the since of environmental friendliness at all, rather it was founded by Clifford Green in 1947.
GreenIdeas.com | Active | Registered in 1999
Personal blog of one Alibert Botogol of the United Kingdom.
GreenTechnology.com | Parked | Registered in 2001
Yet another parked green domain. I really like this one, anyone care to broker the sale, get a good deal for me!

After looking into all these green domains, I am surprised not to see more premium sales recorded. Hopefully that means there are still good deals to be done.
The real winners here are those who picked up green domains before the word went viral. However, it is still very possible and probably profitable to invest into the green domain niche.
I would really love to own a great “green” .COM domain name for a project I have in mind. Feel free to contact me.

Cool Story!
I hadn’t really thought about how much ‘green’ I own until I read this. I thought it was two or three until I went and looked. I have 6 with the word green in it: GoGreenWorks.com, GreenAutosDirect.com…but if you include other key words that imply green, like the eco, organic, or sustainable then I’m looking at probably 30. The world is only going to head in the green direction even more out of necessity, good for green domain owners and good for the earth. : )

I caught the green revolution bug too. Few months ago, I registered GreenGlitters.com (analogous to “Gold Glitters” now that going green is golden) and GreenHeavy.com - idea from common usage of “companies depending heavily on green technology.” But the sites have not yet developed.
BTW, one of my favorite blogs is http://www.GreenDaily.com which ranks well on Alexa.
August 21st, 2008 at 7:55 am
Additionally, after checking it out, I think the GreenDaily blog has more contents and traffic than most green domains listed above.
August 21st, 2008 at 11:18 am
wow, you just opened my eyes. There’s so much possibility the ‘green’ .com. Many companies are following this movement, some even changing the corporate logo with green colors.
August 21st, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Great post on a subject dear to my heart (and wallet). I’ve made a good-sized bet that companies will be buying Green names over the next few years.
I’m also betting that “greenly” will start to be used more and more as a modifier, as in “driving greenly”, “living greenly”, “building greenly” …etc. (Ive’got the dotcoms of those 3).
I’ve got a bunch of “green” names but my favorite by a mile is GreenWheeling.com because it makes me think “freewheeling” - green without sacrificing fun. I’ll be holding onto that one until a big end user comes along.

Mark - great article. I’ve been a big fan of green and eco names for a long time. I’ve picked up a few here and there. I think my best are:
GreenEnergyExpo.com and GreenLandscapes.com but I also like my GreenReviews.net.
August 21st, 2008 at 7:47 pm
i picked this name up from an oil company who let it lapse. greenwind.com anyone interested?
August 22nd, 2008 at 10:32 pm
Check out greendomainsetc.com and browse through the categories. There are over 2,400 domain names for sale on the site with most of them dealing with green, eco, alternative, wind, solar etc… There are tremendous green names for sale and they’re priced reasonably. For instance I see in these pages that greenpackaging.com sold for $25,000. Under the business listing category and the sub category of green shipping on http://www.greendomainsetc.com you will find greenpackagers.com and it’s for sale for only $999.00. Lots of incredible green domains for sale. Take a look.

What a great article! We are very excited about the entire green movement. It is a concept whose time has come. There needs to be more incentives (financial and otherwise) created for individuals, developers, local governments and related groups to go green.

Mark, looks like Green.com now points to IAC.
August 23rd, 2008 at 5:28 am
I don’t see for sale on green.com atm
I am also in the process of selling a “brandable” green domain atm. . . Hopefully it pans out. Not quite as good as these.
August 23rd, 2008 at 8:00 am
Keep getting inquiries about GreenCloud.com - may sell it at a live auction.
August 24th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
Green isvery popular now. Some coaching on this may be very helpful

Green.com isn’t for sale and is currently under development by IAC (http://www.iac.com/Our-Businesses/Green.com). It should launch relatively soon.
September 9th, 2008 at 7:23 am
Wow! There’s so much possibility for the ‘green’.com. Many companies are following this movement, some even changing the corporate logo with green colors.
September 10th, 2008 at 2:24 am
I never really thought about the demand for green domains. Wish I saw this coming
September 10th, 2008 at 4:24 am
these are some premium domain names and i think if they are developed in a right way, they are really going to be worth lot more. Like these 10K or something is nothing as compared to the value they have.
September 15th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Ok… I’m off to buy loads of “yellow domains” and hope that phrase is used before I’m 90!
