Man, it's dangerous to turn your back in these shark infested waters.

Watch out for the fins at domainsatcost.ca.....they're also reportedly regging infos "on behalf of their customers".

i, initially, hated the idea "of registrars regging the .info version of my .coms" but since my initial reservations, i have sold the .com AND used the .info as a sweetener to the deal. in one instance, the buyer offered $500 for the dotcom and said he'd pay $600 plus all the fees if i threw in the .info. hp dayz.

And as enom promised, they handed it over, no fuss. [you have to activate them 1st, they dont sit in your acct until you do]

Was anyone regging them arount mid 1995? I mean anyone here?

If you are asking about.info, in '95, .info was not yet a gleam in Afilias' eye.

I regged my first in 1996, and Network Solutions was the ONLY registrar. You also couldn't register live, you had to submit your choice and two alternates using an email template or fax. At that time, I believe it was $70 (or $100?) for two years registration.

Also about that time, very few people were on the internet, and it was mostly plain html text web pages coded by hand or using a tag editor like hotdog. the hot thing at that time was compuserve, prodigy, and third place was aol. The internet was mostly a big university or large company tool just made available to the public. Internet access was basically mosaic or something similar built into aol, and access to some usenet and long forgotten parts of the internet such as gopher, archie, venonica, etc. Compuserve email addresses were all numbers and decimals followed by the @compuserve.com.

I used compuserve on my 286 and then 486DX back in 93/94. Then I went over seas until 98 so I was late getting started with spending my first $70 at NetSol.

Oh, fastest TLD would be .info and fastest growing paid would be .us

Not according to whois.sc.
.us is behind .org,.net,.info and .biz. and if not for the Affilias .info giveaway the numbers would be far different.

I think the original question is somewhat unclear and confusing and thats why many of us have answered from different perspectives.

The thread heading says:

Quote:

What is the most fast growing tld

But the body says:

Quote:

in your oppinion what is the most fast growing ext in near future

. Some of us have answered it according to the stats up until now, but some has paid closer attention to in near future and addressed the issue accordingly.

thanks for all who participate in
my question was about all cctlds and gtlds except .com .net .org all of us know that thats imposible to reg a .com or .org/net and sell it for a nice price that is another side of this career as you know(drop cacthing..)
look.. think that you have 100$(4 example) and you want to buy/invest on a domain as mentioned before it is hard to find a good .com domain then you'd invest on which cc/gtlds? .fm?.am?.sc..?.de...due to your professional experience which of them have chance to improve..
thanks

I think the thing that really matters is what do 12 year olds know, the general public as a whole. THere are a lot of smart people on Here Collieri,mole,expire guy etc... But we all know this business the average person does not know .sc or .am or .tv and in a lot of cases .biz. SO that's what needs to be done educate and see a broader use of these tld's. I think personally in .info fits it very good. In the futute will A US company that can't get .com reg or buy .us? I don't know I hope. Good thread

lind · 12-06-2004, 01:16 PM

Don't forget about .eu, nothing will be growing as fast as .eu in the near future (Don't know how near this future is, though).

MissFlora · 12-06-2004, 02:07 PM

I thought .us and .biz has been there for awhile? I don't know, but I see that .cc and .ws is rapid growing as well. Whereas there are some .bz that sells well, the reg fee is too high for the extension to progress faster.

illidan · 12-06-2004, 02:59 PM

idont see any .fm fan here have you ever had an experience with .fm
or do you rember any significant sale i know that some very nice even lets say premium keywords are not reged yet. does a valuable key word worth the fee ?

All of these unfamiliar ccTLD's are never gonna break records but some real decent value can be obtained if the domain you are watching fits well with the extension. imho .fm is the least favorable of the ccTLD's as, really, unless youre in micronesia or like radio stuff then you may be barking up the wrong tree. And especially at that reg fee.

whereas .sc (already the chosen extension of 'whois') may also (eventually) sit well with south carolina (and Co's from that state have already regged under .sc), Scotland and southern california. And, obviously, the seychelles.

Good luck with whatever venture you choose.

MissFlora · 12-06-2004, 07:11 PM

I personally think number.fm fits the most. Just like radio station. 944.fm etc. But I think the reg fee is very high too, and not that popular since it is rather hard to find a nice matching word to fit the extension.
