I have seen quite a few registered lately, has anyone got any comments on these names. What if there was a good keyword name, is it worth grabbing.

I believe its the Isle Of Man, but are people possibly going to use the "Instant Messaging" acronym for these domains??

Thanks for any advice??

Have you used them before ?

I regged 3 domains with them. They took my money, the domains went through the pending process, I received my sales invoice, and then the domains disappeared.

Customer services issued an automated ticket in response to my query, no response so I sent another message. Received another automated ticket instantly. Still no response.

I'll hold back on the reps.

Sorry to hear that.

I registered 3 .im names at eurodns & I got them within a few hours of registering.

Limos.im, Limousines.im, and Limousine.im

I'm wondering what went wrong with your order!

exsedo · Jul 30, 2009

I'll see what tomorrow brings, if they respond

I just get so frustrated at slow customer service. It must be one of the most important issues for a successful business, and so many of them neglect it.

will let you know how I get on.

Update.

Just received email saying that the card payment failed, which I dont believe ( not from my end anyway ) Seems a long way to go for that to have happened. Payment, ok'd by visa's security, more than 2 hours in pending status, emailed me an invoice, then next day decide that the payment has failed ? I think its more likely that they have bitten off more than they can chew, selling at that price.
Still, never mind. I'll just reg them somewhere else.

I'm so sorry to hear that, but I don't think they tried to scam you because the names are still available.

From what I can see DomainMonster.com has .im renewals starting at $17.99 up to $19.99 and that is their regular rate. Recommend transfering before renewal date unless Name.com comes down to earth on .im renewals

.im domains are not for short term investment unless a good buyer comes along, no 1 is buying .im expensive now

domains like

Lasvegas.im = 260-280 ( where as lasvegas.asia sold for 30,000 US$ )
diamond.im = 80
Themes.im ( which even suit the subject of .im since there are themes in instant messenger sold for just 60 $

so just hold on and dont panic unless just start an auction at US$ 1 and sell it

then complain

I thought this one had just been bought at Sedo auction ?
Hope its not a registrar error, its a nice name. Good Luck.

Thanks .TV

I hope its not a registrar error. Could it be an error if the domain is showing in my account???

nic.im is also showing me as the owner??

Can they reverse it and take the name back??

I saw it was sold on Sedo for 90 EUR and USD $75 in the space of 2 months......looks a little fishy to me

Very strange. 2 auctions in 2 consecutive months for the same domain ? If you have a sedo account I would shoot them an email and see if they will throw any light on it for you. Why would anyone buy a domain at auction and then delete it 3 weeks later ?

I have it at Whypark at the moment. It has already paid for itself after one day. I think I might have to sit on these .ims for a while, but seeing as they are only 2 Euros thats not a problem.
Thought I might as well grab this one BINS as well.
