European city population 1 million - .mobi??

etittle52 · 02-07-2008, 10:15 AM

I found an unregistered .mobi city name. It has a population of 1 million people. If you were me, would you register it?

S~ · 02-07-2008, 11:02 AM

Depends on what city, but probably not.
Although at $7.99, you could always reg for just one year and then get it appraised.

Best to stick, generally, with shorter, established, proven extensions ... particularly for Geo's and if you're not planning on developing in the immediate future IMHO.

Best of Luck.

Thanks, Guys

I would do it. If it is a really a big city it means a big target audience locally and also a lot of tourists. Even with .mobi, I cannot imagine it wouldn't sell for a decent amount.

italiandragon · 02-07-2008, 10:04 PM

check the spelling in their language because I found it unreal there is still one available with that population.

buyauthority · 02-07-2008, 10:54 PM

Yes please confirm that the spelling is correct before you reg it. There's alot of cities not reg'd but for a 1M population is quite scarce. Confirm and Reg it.

htmlindex · 02-08-2008, 12:04 AM

It could potentially be worth regging IMO. 1Mil is a good size population.

zaporozhye.mobi - Ukraine City (I guess it's a vacation spot!!)

This website says it has 850,000 people
http://www.citymayors.com/features/euro_cities1.html

I found the city name on www.Ukraine.com

I hope it is spelled right. I did google searches on it and there are several pages that refer to it.

Well, if I am wrong It only cost $8.00

It's a keeper. Just looked it up and yes your spelling is
correct. Population of over 1million is what I just read.
Big tourist spot as well. Nice grab!

etittle52 · 02-08-2008, 05:51 AM

All right!!!!

Thanks guys for the help, I wasn't sure about it so I am so glad I brought the topic up in this forum.

NamePros is great!

bricio · 02-08-2008, 09:24 AM

if the spelling is really correct, congrats for this name!!!

Again, Thanks everyone!!

Don't take it personally, but I wish Zaporozhye was a "European city" and "Vacation spot". But the reallity is that it's just an industrial city in Ukraine with polluted air. Though, there used to be some type of river cruise making a stop there ocasionally, as I remember.

Nem0 · 02-08-2008, 06:10 PM

What about a .biz? Are they good to reg for a city with a polulation just over 1Mil? I just found one, and the biz is available.

Sorry, real new at this stuff, don't mean to hijack a thread, but it looked to be about wrapped up

the fact it isnt a vacation spot doesnt affcet its potential as dot mobi at all
if the city has 1 million people inhabitants and if it is an industrial city then you have to change the focus on what you will develop
you can build a dot mobi site showing a city with many jobs where it is good for some people earn money depending on their professions
a city with 1 million people is always good when we are talking about dot mobi

Keep .mobi in .mobi section

Not to spoil your dreams but if you have no intention of developing I don't believe this name will bring you fortune.
It doesn't look like a very attractive tourist destination either. I would guess few members could spot Ukraine on a map and put yourself in the shoes of a web user. Would you use your phone looking for information about some odd city ?
Many cities with 1M inhabitants are more popular.
I think extensions like .com/.net/.org/.info are better for geo names.
TBH I'm sure there are plenty of good keywords .mobi still available and easier to monetize. This one is hopeless IMHO.
Good luck.

couldn't disagree more, .mobi makes such good sense, especially for tourism, those visiting and those on the go looking for something to do...

http://dublin.mobi
http://helsinki.mobi
http://frankfurt.mobi

etc. etc. etc

.net is actually site of telecom company in Ukraine, so I think you have potential buyer there if they will start to mobilize their internet. Sure, there is a chance that you should wait quite a long time, I don`t believe Ukrainians are used to buy domains. Name should be worth more than reg fee anyway, you can make quick reseller flip if you are not ready for long term investment. Recommendation could be "accumulate"

Well, according to several websites, Ukraine is a European Country, so that would make Zaporozhye a European City. Anyway I don't care if it is a vacation spot or not, it still has over 1 million people and it is a city and it is a .mobi.

If anyone is interested in it, pm me an offer!!
