.MX Discussion and Showcase

Wow, great news about the re release of .mx domains. I think this has huge potential considering the population in mexico is 100 mil. Those who already have a .com.mx or .org.mx domain can pre register teh same domain in .mx extension. Luckily I registered a few months back these domains, please tell me the best in order please:
gun.com.mx
see.com.mx
ear.com.mx
war.com.mx
won.com.mx
cuentas.com.mx (accounts in spanish)
cesta.com.mx (basket in spanish)
cestas.com.mx (baskets)

I got file, gal, apartment, diy .mx but I don't think I could sell them

 

[manatt487]

Hi Nguyen,
Those are decent ones - especially apartment. With regards to selling them, IMHO .mx are long term investments. At the moment it is very hard to resell .mx because they are still new and a lot of good keyword domains are actually still available to be registered. Most of the .mx sales I've seen have been $50-100 (with a few exceptions, such as freelancer.mx which sold for $7,500 and cable.mx which sold for $4,500).

However, I believe that in a few years .mx will become more valuable and one like apartment .mx should fetch at least $2000. I believe the factors that will dictate how valuable these domains will become are 1. whether a shift from .com.mx to .mx will happen (at the moment .com.mx are preferred - google itself redirects google.mx to google.com.mx. However, .mx is shorter and 'cleaner'-looking than .com.mx, thus why I anticipate the shift from .com.mx to .mx will happen) 2. how much companies based in mexico use the virtual world and 3. how much domainers take an interest in this extension (if domainers register more and more .mx domains, an end-user will have a hard time finding an unregistered good domain to develop, and will have no choice but to buy from domainers).

Although I am optimistic, at this stage I would advise against mass regging/buying of .mx domains as their future is still very much uncertain. Personally I'm just sticking to a few good ones until the market is more promising.

Goodluck!

 

[Nguyen]

Thank you for your words, I'm hoping so too

 

[manatt487]

I thought this might be a useful read to .com.mx/.mx domainers:


Percentage distribution of all types of .mx domains as of July 2011:

Domain Type - Percentage

. Com.mx - 68.32%

. Gob.mx - 1.22%

. Net.mx - 0.08%

. Edu.mx - 1.53%

. Org.mx - 3.28%

. Mx - 25.56%

TOTAL - 100.00%

So at the moment there are 3 times more .com.mx domains than .mx. It will be interesting to see how these percentages will vary in a year or so.

Thx Manatt for the info and it should be logical to happen as you say.

Only have bowl dot mx but there are still plenty of better names.

Def worth a shot in long term,no bulk but with few good names it will work.

Nguyen, imo in the near future you could sell those for at least high xxxx$ range (total).

All the best guys!

 

[eurorealtor]

Does my domain Photos.com.mx any good value at this time? Thanks!

I dropped diy.mx due to the fact that Mexicans are interested only in spanish keywords.

 

[mdspencer]

what do you guys think about wwwdotfooddotmx? was purchased in landrush phase. originally i wanted it for a personal project however are now looking at different options for monetization and/or development. im looking for partners for jv if anyone is interested

 

[ioana_bv]

.com.mx and .mx are almost worthless. Many strong keywords are dropped everyday.

 

[Embrand]

One new sale reported by Sedo:

imss.mx $1,500

 

[Nguyen]

.com.mx and .mx are almost worthless. Many strong keywords are dropped everyday.

And a Mexico company are buying them all :D

 

[zapdaddy]

If you are dropping strong .mx keywords. IM me first

 

[htmlindex]

Yep all renewed and actually grabbed another 50. So I have 170 all up.

Neubox are much cheaper about $22

Is the site on Neubox correct? It says "$268.90" to reg, is that Mexican currency or actually $US?

 

[htmlindex]

Does anyone know where's the cheapest place to reg a .mx domain these days from a reputable registrar & the price?

Dynadot charge $39.99 for .mx (a bit cheaper if you are a Bulk or Super Bulk customer), and they have promotions once in a while.

Not sure if that is the cheapest place, but I am very happy with them. Also, they offer expiring .mx names for sale.

 

[zapdaddy]

The price at Neubox is in MXN Pesos.
The price is great but the service is not! They dont even actually have automatic registering...you have to pay and send them an email..they will register it when they get around to it. If it is still available.

 

[henrik41]

I still own

T-Shirt.mx
Tshirt.mx

Hope it's going to be worth something

Thanks, I decided to go with Dynadot as I've got a Super Bulk pricing which brings the price down to $36.75

Picked up these 2:
Drugmx
Retirementmx

Its been awhile, but there has been a decent .mx sale reported on DNJournal.
Regalos.mx ( gifts) sold for $6000. on Sedo.

 

[Fonzie]

I'm looking to buy two Spanish keyword .mx.
One for $100, one for $50.

If anyone has any for sale, PM me.
No garbage.

(and it's sad that I have to repeat this, but I am looking for Spanish keywords. It's a waste of time to send me English keywords)

 

[zapdaddy]

Another good sale. Regalo.mx sold for $5,280 on Sedo this week.

 

[Synreal]

Found a good .com.mx possible reg.

I have been searching AdWords for Spanish phrases and I finally found one that seems promising. It is a three word phrase that has to do with language translation it appears to have over 2 million searches per month locally on AdWords. Any advice on whether or not the $40 is worth the risk? Are these really selling? Should I buy both the .mx and .com.mx if I decide to pull the trigger? I have read some articles about how Mexicans prefer to use .com.mx most of the time.

 

[GiftedDomains]

Can please someone tell me the cheapest Registrar for .mx domains (not .com.mx) at the moment? Godaddy wants 35$ (with promo codes), 45$ (without codes)

If you are just looking to flip it's probably not worth it. There are some decent sales happening but they are for very premium single keywords. If you are looking to develop then that is a different story.

com.mx was in use long before .mx was available so it has a larger base but over time you will see the .mx extension become much more popular and surpass com.mx.

all just my opinion

Neubox.net always has the best prices for .mx reg.
The interface is very slow and outdated but it works. If I am in a rush to register I always use Dynadot but if you want to save money on reg fees and renewal fees.. Neubox is always much cheaper. I have about 50 domains with them and have never had any problems in 3 years.

 

[GiftedDomains]

Thanks.
Seams like you can get mx for 22 Dollars there (296 pesos)
Is the site also available in english? I couldn't find a language selector.
Do they also accept paypal?
