LLL.IN flying off the shelves!

Lasher · 09-25-2006, 08:32 AM

On September 1st, I decided to invest in a few LLL.in domains as a country with a large english speaking population and LLL.in domains unregistered. Using DRT I scanned all 17,574 domains and there were 7065 unregistered.

Since that time I got busy with other projects and only came back to it last night. I was very surprised to see that as of last night, there were now 3474 unregistered LLL.in domains.

I highlighted 100 domains to register then went to bed to sleep on it. Woke up this morning, decided to go ahead, and 12 of the 100 I had highlighted last night were gone already. I chose other domains and took another 100 out of the pool.

Point of the post is not to pump them or try to guess what they might be worth in future (I just registered 100 of them, obviously my opinion is clear), but if anyone else is considering investing in these thinking they have plenty of time to pick them ... you don't.

I have done something similar with thinking to myself "oh i will get that later" only to find that later its not available. Get 'em while you have the chance because someone else has the same idea as you for sure and dont let them beat you.

It really is funny how fast things can happen in domaining. LLL.us have increased 5 or 10-fold in value during just a few months. .ins are behind but not that far.

I think in years to come we're going to look back at the 2nd half of 2006 as the time when ccTLDs began their explosive growth.

Lets do some quick maths: 18,000 potential LLL.in and 7000 left at the beginning of the month. That means just under 30% were left.
A month later, another 16/17% are gone. Another month like that and they'll be all gone before the end of October.

Lasher · 09-25-2006, 08:45 AM

Just kicked off another full scan, will attach results to a related thread in the available domains sub-forum when complete.

I was talking to a couple domainers over the weekend, and was surprised that they viewed .IN as some type of novelty extension, only good for names like Come.in, Get.in, Join.in (etc.) They had completely lost sight of the fact the .IN is a country code, for a Really Big Country, with English as a common language.

When I reminded them of that, I could almost picture the light-bulb appearing over their heads, at the same time a shocked and puzzled look had overcame their faces.

Basically the first paragraph gives you the main idea:

Quote:

India has become the fastest-growing cellular market in the world, adding a net 5.9 million cellular subscribers in August, the Cellular Operators Association of India said this week. The gain outstripped China’s increase of 5.19 million subscribers.

Large areas of India remain too poor or remote to have cellphone service, even though the middle class is growing in many cities.

As poverty slowly eases, the explosive growth in cellphone use is expected to continue in this nation of 1.1 billion people. Factors like low calling charges and cheap handsets are also behind the subscriber gains.

"...outstripped China’s increase..."

That's amazing.

I didn't think it was even possible. Ha!

i understand now you picked up that cellphone related dot IN domain from me

ekal · 09-25-2006, 09:52 AM

MobilePhones.in €1500 ($1932)

Not me buying or celling (ho! ho!) but looks good for the buyer....

equity78 · 09-25-2006, 10:00 AM

Good post and good number crunching. Is everyone in agreemnet on LLL.in over LLL.co.in or is everyone seeing value for both. I own a few .co.in had a couple .in which got like 50 to 60 uniques a month. I would think with such a large population all the LLL will be registered soon

Amazing, the scan just completed, down to 2630 available domains already, from 3400 last night.

Results can be seen at:

http://www.namepros.com/210675-some-...domains-2.html

I imagine at this rate we'll see the last of the 'quality letter' domains snapped up real quick and then the X,Z,Q domains will take longer to be all regged.

Happy hunting!

cdboard · 09-25-2006, 12:23 PM

I have two .IN's. one is related to Indiana

the other is a pronounceable LLL (consonant, vowel, consonant), purchased last month (Aug 06).

Lasher · 09-25-2006, 12:42 PM

Well I could do another scan with email addresses and see who owns most of these things, could be interesting. That takes much much longer to complete though, has to do a whois on every domain vs just seeing if their hostname resolves and only checking 'whois' on those that don't.

MinionDH · 09-25-2006, 12:49 PM

I just registered 6.. couldn't resist

DreamWeb · 09-25-2006, 01:06 PM

I just checked and... there is still a lot of really good, premium letter LLL.in`s
So chill out!

If anyone wants to grab some good LLLs:
Foa.in Pio.in Tne.in
Ofc.in Epb.in Ega.in
Ota.in Fio.in Fis.in

Good luck!

DomainLobe · 09-25-2006, 02:33 PM

Great News!
I am holding a number of LLL.in.
Lets keep them flying off the shelves.

DreamWeb · 09-25-2006, 02:37 PM

Lets buy em all!

Lets earn together!

Lasher · 09-25-2006, 03:24 PM

Running another scan. Will post results when complete.

Btw, no affilitiate link here, just credit where it's due, DRT is a fantastic tool!

BuysDomains · 09-25-2006, 03:53 PM

Do you guys see any 3 number.in's being taken?

Lasher · 09-25-2006, 03:56 PM

Hmm, hadn't even considered it. Try a few searches for NNN on google.co.in and see what kind of thing comes back?

Btw, rescanned and only a few more had been taken. Looked for domains with letters x,q,z,k,v,u,w,y,j excluded which most people seem to agree are the lowest quality letters - 313 domains remaining in that category.

List of the 313 "high quality" domains posted in the domains available sub-forum in this thread:
