whats your opinion?

I guess now you came to a point where a person makes personal choices

so let it be there then.

i don't know what Isle of man is until i read about it on Name.com i do not care how bad the extention goes or is used until i can afford i will renew mine

hopefully when people of isle of man see that the words they would like to use in their Daily life business are gone they would want to register similar or make any amount of offer on yours.

Sales of .im have not been all that but if you look at it as a ROI

40+ domains are bought for 5 US$

even if it sells for 30-50 what's bad ?

, but what ever you said might be right for people who are new to domains its very good to study the over all market before investing even a $

2 rules

of domaining

1) Look at market and study it but Listen to your heart
2) Follow Rule 1

The only difference is the perceived risk element.

That isn't "speculating". It's "stupid".

Shahid7 · 12-18-2009, 02:10 PM

not sure why you would call it stupid, unless your not aware of how population increases everyday, but more over its not just about population but the ROI on .im

nikcec · 12-28-2009, 05:39 AM

I regged
pokerclub.im
razz.im
What you think?

abdulbasituae · 12-28-2009, 05:43 AM

@ nikcec

As per current market both your domains are reg fee

I would bet that people in IM use co.uk. If .im was going to make it...why target "instant messaging"? that's dumber than mobi.

exsedo · 01-18-2010, 06:09 PM

The island isn't big enough to hold that many people, but who knows they might get some national pride and start using their own extension. I think you may be right about them using .co.uk

Anyone know what hotel .im sold for at Sedo ? The last I saw was £960 and I missed the end of the auction.

sdsinc · 01-19-2010, 08:42 AM

Indeed .co.uk is also used on the IOM... possibly more than .im/.co.im

exsedo · 02-03-2010, 04:45 PM

Recent private sale reported on dnjournal int.im = $1000

I was the seller of hotel.im, considering selling my stock of .im domains which I was planning to develop myself (Isle of Man resident, have little time on my hands these days):

car.im
job.im
motors.im
maps.im
forums.im
art.im
antiques.im
green.im
info.im
guide.im

all should be at Sedo, will take fair offers on each.

Have a few more but planning on keeping them for now, as they're already developed.

if anyone wants advice about .im domains I'm sure I can help. Yes there is limited appeal on the Island at the moment (~80,000 population) but the domains are becoming more popular as people start to use them. For instance, I recently launched numberplates.im

I seem to remember the buyer of music.im payed a lot, $10,000?
If I remember right he was involved in some dispute after winning an auction for music.mobi for $xxx,xxx only for the domain to be re-auctioned! I imagine it was around 2006 / 2007 but I might be completely wrong.

You'll have to google it I can't remember the full details.

***ronald01*** · 02-24-2010, 01:33 PM

Of course that .im are not so popular right now but i need opinions about

"name".im if we propose that "im" can stand for "instant messaging"

for me make sense that for ronald.im make sense or i'm on wrong way?
(i preferr,.com,.net,.info,.ws and they are better but of course names in this ext.are hard to find.

Any opinion about this?

thanks
Ron

p.s.Instant messaging (IM) is a form of real-time direct text-based communication between two or more people using shared clients. The text is conveyed via devices connected over a network such as the Internet.

Gerrit · 02-25-2010, 07:01 AM

In my opinion .IM makes sense only in saying "I am", not as an abbreviation. The problem is not so much the extention itself but the registry (unless they improved drastically lately). I remember a while ago several people were complaining about the registry and how hard it was to deal with them ; I believe I recall one or two people whose name was made defunct as if it were never registered and without prior warning, although this was a while ago so I don't dare to give the exact details of the story. I do remember clearly that several people found the .IM registry poorly organised and tough to deal with.

.ME by the way also makes more sense than .IM I'd say, although I heard some bad stories about .ME as well ... .NAME in theory is good but has been proven to be a failure. Maybe .ID has some potential (like an online identity card) but I believe this is no option now due to restrictions on registrations.
