.WS : transfer in and out now allowed ?

Timewarp · 05-26-2008, 12:33 AM

Nice one on refund, it has a very close renewal date to refunds, maybe they had the same owner a few years ago.
Looks like yours dropped in 07 and mine goes back to 04 but they are only 5 days apart for day and month.

I don't think .ws has premium words, just premium short domains.
3 char = $500/year
2 char = $900/year
1 char = $49 000/year

Please appraisals my domain.

Thanks.

Does NAWI mean anything? If not, then it's not worth registering/renewing.

Agreed. I have been registering one word, high paying keywords the last year or so, and outside of that, there isn't much value to the extension. I am hoping that the ability to now transfer domains excites the market a bit, but when you can currently register single word dictionary names, registering something that isn't a decent keyword is a waste of money.

You can help me to calculate rate price for my domain ?

***mwzd*** · 05-29-2008, 01:30 AM

nawi.ws = reg fee. Don't let anyone tell you any different.

In any case, we've been saying all along, .ws has value iff developed. Though some keywords sell for decent prices at times.

iff = if and only if

Dean · 05-29-2008, 04:43 AM

why would you reg LLLL.ws when I am sure there are still plenty of LLL.ws left...

***mwzd*** · 05-29-2008, 04:56 AM

Because LLL.ws have a $500 annual renewal. Simple really.

MattheP · 05-29-2008, 05:51 AM

Door,ws is finally transfered to my acc. Any ideas for quick dev?

***mwzd*** · 05-29-2008, 06:09 AM

door is nice,

I picked up stage... offered owner some money last year, turned it down, it dropped I got it

If I don't want a domain I'd sell it... even $1 > $0

Forgot that ridiculous fee. Isnt it like 10k a year for a 1 letter. This is one of the reasons this extension fails. So many other extensions have more developed sites then it. .cc has more the double the amount of websites then .ws according to Google IIRC.

Timewarp · 05-29-2008, 08:43 AM

The best thing about .ws is no one wants it!
There are already many other popular extensions that you can pay big $ for double word combinations but with .ws you can get a premium like "stage" on a drop.

door is another nice 4L, for development ideas try this keyword tool: http://www.addme.com/keywordsuggest.htm
"door" seems to be popular with porn sites about next door neighbors or garage doors.

ps. a single character L.ws is $49 000 a year!

Toker · 06-02-2008, 02:48 PM

I'm going to park 00-0.ws NN-N and see what kind of traffic it gets
seeing Google doesn't read the Hyp-hen!
Google has 13,600,000 for 00-0.

These good names will all be expired in the next 2 weeks and will not be renewed since I do not have the time to manage them. After they expired, Godaddy will take them and sell them at TDNAM for $10 to $15 each.

They ARE worth $45 each; it is just that I feel like selling them cheap today.

Thank you for the purchase.

Maybe you noticed that the faq on website.ws had changed a few months ago (without big communication) :

Can I transfer my domain to another registrar ?
Yes, .WS domain transfers may take place in accordance with the "GDI Transfer Policy". Please contact the registrar you would like to transfer to for instructions on how to proceed.

But in facts, have you already transferred names from a registrar to another ?
I also have heard that some registrars, like godaddy, would allow transfer towards godaddy but not from Godaddy to another registrar.

I would like to know which registrars are concerned with transfers in and out.

Thank you for your help,
Prener

***mwzd*** · 06-14-2008, 10:44 PM

People are transferring in to Godaddy and a few other registrars who allow transfers... but not all do.

Please see this for more info -

***mwzd*** · 06-14-2008, 11:05 PM

Anthony, if they were worth $45 wouldn't you get at least $10 for them?

GF · 06-14-2008, 11:19 PM

That's quite a collection you've got there!

Any plans for them? Resell or are you developing any?

***mwzd*** · 06-14-2008, 11:28 PM

Yeah, .ws is for development.

When I'll get down to them is another story :sigh:

Would really like to see some developed .ws if anyone has some.

upickitout · 06-20-2008, 04:58 PM

I have seen many .ws expiring and I wondered if its even worth picking any up???
