Is it worth buying generic name, www.sex. - - (country extension) ??


i have the option of purchasing sex. - - . - -
like sex.co.uk but a smaller country

would it be worth it for the $25 registration ??

the country is not so small as to be unheard of.
maybe top 12

its also possible to get 1. co.uk, but not the .uk, another country
would this be worth anythng?

what are the most valuable words to buy in your opinion ?

the country extension is not popular, but not bad
not an unheard of extension like lituaina, moldovia or ubekisten

maybe top 12

also some of the words are not available in the .co. version

some are .net.uk and .org.uk

that would lower their value considerably?
like 1.org.uk or 1.ltd.uk

Give or take, but generally speaking ... above, no more than Reg. fee, IMHO.
Best of Luck.

The risk is not great.
Just reg it.
And ask for offer, see what are the offer range.

Yes, it would be worth the $25. Value up to $100.

I'd reg it if I were you. If it doesn't sell at least you wouldn't lose that much. But I think it would go for about $100, depending on the tld.

The top countries that have a .co/.com before their country code are:

.co.uk
.com.ar
.co.kr
.com.hk
.com.au
.co.jp
.com.cn
.co.nz
.com.tw
.com.mx
.com.hk

The others have so few registered and I don't believe they'd be worth it.

Sex is registered in all of those TLD's I just listed.
