Backlink value

bklinkBV$199per link · level C · strength 70

A followed editorial link from name.com would be worth up to $628 under BV 2.5, before relevance: its Site Strength is 70 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level C, worth about $199 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $99 and $248.

Site Strength

How name.com links out

Read by mxverify on 27 September 2026: the homepage and 10 articles (10 from across its sitemap). This is our own reading of the site, not a vendor's figure, and it is what places a new link on the A–D scale until links placed here are audited.

Fair sample 14 links to other sites across 10 articles. Strong takes six or more articles and thirty or more links, spread over at least two months where the articles are dated.

14 links to other sites across 10 articles, share buttons left out.

What its homepage offers

No guest-post, sponsored-post or advertising pages linked from the homepage.

Articles read

Jev, the model that judges every link in a bklink audit, reads these pages as a site whose links are mostly level A — A 92%, B 4.0%, C 4.0%, D 0%. Put together with what kind of site it is, how established it is, whether it sells placements and how it links out, a new link here is priced as A 16%, B 19%, C 65%, D 0%.

Jev reads it as a service or app (64%), established as a source (50%), and not selling guest, sponsored or paid posts (92%).

Server and network

name.com is served through Cloudflare (CDN), a content delivery network. Its address is shared edge infrastructure used by unrelated sites, so it cannot show who else runs on the same server, and sharing the network is no sign of a connection.

CDNedge address, not a server
548on the same hosting network

Cloudflare (CDN) fronts millions of unrelated sites, so sharing it says nothing about who runs a site. The count is shown; the sites are not listed.
