How many domains of your hometown you got?

dotker · 10-27-2009, 12:30 AM

Just wondering.. how many related domain names of your hometown or city you got on your collection?

Truthman · 10-27-2009, 02:54 AM

I don't personally own any, but I bought one for our family business: SydneyAccommodation.info
Will be developing it into a proper site soon.

Would you mind telling us how many you have dotker.

Semtex · 10-27-2009, 04:09 AM

I personally own 10-15 acronyms with a nearby city in mind. Hoping to develop them someday, and will probably never sell them, unless there are X,XXX figures being offered.

coltter · 10-27-2009, 04:25 AM

nothing, don't want to waste money unless your have a well plan to develop the domain.

***SpareDomains*** · 10-27-2009, 08:55 AM

11, would have more but harder with the most populated cities.

Jaco · 10-27-2009, 10:14 AM

I have my hometown.org, which is good enough for me.
The owner of the com is a bit delusional with his prices, but he's been getting real lately on some of his other names... I can envision myself eventually owning that, too.

evirtual1 · 10-27-2009, 04:19 PM

i have a very popular suburb in .me and also the same name is a popular football team here in oz

dnb8 · 10-27-2009, 04:29 PM

ssamriga · 10-28-2009, 01:51 PM

unfortunately my hometown is a capital city with 700k + inhabitants, so all good names are taken

snowbird · 10-28-2009, 01:55 PM

hmmm.. I don't have any domains with my hometown name in it. I do know however the .com is registered by my town's library. I know the person who maintains the website.

nstalk · 10-28-2009, 02:04 PM

I have 11 hometown names and about as many homestate names.

GreenGambler · 10-28-2009, 06:50 PM

My hometown is Montgomery City, a pretty small town with a faily popular name. I ever really thought about reg'ng a variation, but they are probably all taken anyway.

dotker · 10-29-2009, 03:26 AM

None for my home city, state or country.

I have three related to my own name though. My name in .com and .net and my last name in .com

InternetMoney · 10-29-2009, 08:48 PM

What good words are there to add to the town name?

What are city or town related names worth? Are they worth more than people think and how do you monetarize them?

nameworld · 11-02-2009, 08:06 AM

guys always have a good plan to develop his hometown's business' value

ComKid · 11-02-2009, 08:32 AM

A few. I am trying to brand a cctld to the abbreviation of my hometown Traverse City, Michigan. I registered WOW.tc for a promotional campaign with the changing times and much needed facelift. Our economy relies heavily on tourism and what better way to promote a town than with a short stand out domain name like WOW.tc

Checked to see who owns my hometown .com and it looks like it made it to the enduser already with Charter Communications cable giant being the owner. Looks like they invest in other ones to as I do more research. Wished there was a chance they would sell but I may have to wait and see if they ever have need to sell....like bankpuptcy maybe. They did one time but the owner used his own money to re-invest and keep going. Not sure how that works. Well...it looks as if every other extention is taken as well, so no luck there.
