Would you register a .IR ?

We have now been in talks with .IR registry to resell domains Internationally for over 1 week now, its looking very likely they will accept!

Prices would be about $30 p.a. for .IR

$20 for co.ir
firm.ir


Would be inrested to know comments!

(.ir = .Iran )

It's Iran... way too high of a political statement right now to purchase a .IR, IMHO.
I understand it could get us in under the radar should something change in Iran to make it a free country (Like the current tide in the area seems to be moving), but for crying out loud... Businesses and individuals in America aren't even allowed to do business with Iran.
I also understand that IR could stand for infa-red and the like, but that's a little to narrow of a group, IMHO yet again.
So would I register .IR DN's for $30 each? Not at the moment, but best of luck to you.

Ditto. I don't think I would either. Especially with America and it's dealings in the Middle East. .IR, could be thought of as Iraq. Hmm....

I agree, in general, with the above statements. However, if your target market is the middle-east... go for it

Too little incentive to reg .ir right now, plus political considerations = no thank you. IMHO.

Very intresting comments! Alot talked about state of economy: Well Iran's economy is improving rapidly!

Plenty of scares over legality, i checked, there is NO problem over registering a .ir as i have checked with a few americans who hold .ir in usa and canada (news agencies / political groups!)

Just intrested, if i never said .IR is Iran, would people have had more chance to reg it?

Excuse me :-S !! I don't think it's a matter of your opinion. It's always great to provide some sort of reports/links supporting your stand when you make such statements.

No offence buddy. But you compare things like GDP rate and population below poverty line for Iran & India on the link you posted

Thanks,

Not worth it with the political issues and the economy isn't strong enough quite yet to support a large online market. Worth about the same as many of the other lesser-known ext.

I'd rather save my money for upcoming .EU, maybe .Asia if it pulls out. There are too many things to buy already.
