ANOTHER ccTLD launch ! .CR!
.CR is officially live!
Costa RICA - $100 a year for 2nd level.
www.nic.cr
Everything in Spanish though
. Me and Kev managed to snag a few good ones, apparently their whois isn't real time updated, but the "availability search" is.
Post your Regges! Costa Rica is actually QUITE developed.

I noticed a few L.cr seem to be reserved
Tempting but I think the market is limited ATM.
Nonetheless...

There is just a little difference in value:

Costarica population is not as much as the Peru one.
Plus $100 fee is just a rip off.

They are reserved because we applied for them - they are definitely able to be registered. I think at this moment people at Nic.cr will be deciding who to give the other ones too since me and Sam seemed to apply for them at the exact same time.
i sold a.gd for $3000 over a year ago so these names are incredibly valuable
Update: Got confirmation for
g.cr
h.cr
m.cr
n.cr
t.cr
w.cr
Im a happy man

Was not better to buy my N.pe for $1,000 since it costs $30 per year only?

Both .pe & .cr should be treated as emerging extensions, therefore long-term holds.

I don`t think Spanish has the W, Italian does not.

Peru has already 7+ million users and 28+ millions people.
Costa Rica has about 1 million users and 4 millions people.
Costa Rica should cost less, much less, that`s clearly a money machine for them.

Cctlds are my speciality so Im very confident about these names.
Ive managed to flip Cctlds with $1000 reg fees before and I have a lot of good contacts. Whether I will sell these is another matter but Im really pleased with my investment

Just got handed the royal screwjob by the incompetent registry. THEY REJECTED ALL MY APPLICATIONS since I thought titular de domino means Domain Name, so I put the name instead of my "name". I am emailing support to fix error.

m.cr is a great name, actually, excellent! My chemical romance fan site, or even sell it to the band. You've got one mighty good domain there.

Don`t do it. It`s your faulth that you don`t know their language. Would you like some spanish guy telling you`re stupid in your COuntry because you don`t know his language?

congrats...
you did GOOD...
I can see - potentially - the .cr being used by some
Certified Residential Realtors
or
Commercial Realtors
they already abbreviate a designation they EARN as CRS behind their names...
best of luck to you in your ventures...
CR
Cultural Review
Consumer Reports
Classifications Registry
Corporate Responsibility
Cedar Rapids
Columbia River
Colorado Retail
Cell Research
Corporate Register
Community Retail
Civil Rights
Community Recycling
College Recruiter
Commercial Revitalizer
Cancer Research
Czech Republic
Copy Right
etc...

That alone shows how much more are interested in the money rather then in their ccTLd development.
When I see high fees, I just close the page.
Nothing justify $100 annual fee in that country where locals barely earn a living.
