What % of NP members own at least 1 .mobi?


Wow, this .mobi craze is getting a lot of press here on NP.

Just curious to see how many NamePro members own at least 1.

I saw you had one developed already, good job!
I think the .mobi has great development potential, just not for me.
I have a hard enough time with regular domains

None for me as well. I dont believe the hype is diserved. Too many TLD's at this point anyhow.

Only 1


I only have one mobi (opra.mobi). It is a bit of a strange one though with only 2000 ovt searches without extension but 3000 with .com extension. I'll stick with just one for now.

I can't see there being any point in me buying a .mobi really - not an extension I've really got any interest in, despite the hype.

Is there a "proper" whois server (i.e. not a web based one) for .mobi?

Tried whois.registry.mobi and whois.nic.mobi, no luck.

Hi


I did not register any .mobi names due to the cost, duration of registration and usage factors. But, i thought of investing more in established extensions.

One single .mobi here, and only then because it fits in with my main .com.
Did go for sid.mobi too, but Pool got that.

Don't think I will be going to buy any more...

Chasing investments is never a good thing. If you are waiting to see how a particular investment is going to do especially domains, my recommendation would then be to look elsewhere.

Just for the record I bought two .mobi after careful research. A LLL.mobi and a generic LLLLL.mobi domain.

I can tell you that I didn't buy any .co.in, .in or .cn or .eu.
