This ranking covers government agencies, universities and international organisations tracked by Site Worth Checker: domains ending in .gov, .edu, .int and national equivalents such as .gov.uk, .ac.uk and .go.jp. It is sorted by estimated worth, and every domain links to its report.
These sites are not for sale, so “worth” here is a way to compare reach and digital footprint rather than a price. They tend to score well on the signals our model can measure: old domains, high popularity ranks (partly reflecting how much of the web links to them) and steady traffic from people looking for official information. What they lack is visible monetisation, so the model assigns them only a low default revenue per visit.
That combination makes the list a useful benchmark. If you run a content or research site, comparing it with an agency or university in the same subject area shows how much of an estimate comes from traffic and authority alone. University subdomains and national agencies are included when we track them.

How this list is built: every row comes from a stored Site Worth Checker estimate, refreshed as domains are re-checked, so the table updates on its own. Values are model estimates from public signals (Tranco rank, modelled traffic and revenue, domain and technical factors), not appraisals or market caps. We leave out subdomains, CDN and asset hosts, link shorteners and adult sites so the list stays about websites people actually visit. Read how we estimate website worth or the background on why we use Tranco instead of Alexa rank.
