If you're planning on holding these for years you might get some action but right now you need to look at short and wanted names within .xyz. One word names, or short LLL, or short NNN.

As @Miks pointed out most of the good stuff is gone therefore don't waste your money unless it's really, I mean really a long term investment.

Short, one keyword domains reged early are valuable within .xyz.

Check the auctions, there is good investments to be had with .xyz...

Full disclosure here, I did reg CandyBars.xyz some time ago just because I love the dang things! :D

 

[jedaprin]

Idk im happy with what i got, ill grab a two word domain as long as it sounds really appealing and covers more than one aspect, but then again two words narrow it down more specifically. like WaterProof.xyz or DentalClinic.xyz

i think im addicted to buying .xyz domains, Like i said i dont plan on keeping 80% of my portfolio and even if i get $20 per domain on average thats still a Good Return on what $200 Bucks

Ah i see the lost battle against reality is still being waged by the 2 inhouse residents and a couple of new faces joining them in this most heroic battle to stay with Kodak and never to surrender to Digital

Here is a bit how it started in 2014 when suddenly people started to get interested in new gtlds and how these same few people reacted (i can't help but sometimes think these are paid shills):

1. Ah they're worthless, no one is going to buy them
< a few weeks later>
2. Well, except a few domainers buy them but those are newbies who don't know anything
<a couple of months later>
3. A few 100k's of registrations is nothing, they won't get to the 1000000 just watch ...
<a couple of months later>
4. It doesn't mean anything that some end-users are now buying them, need to see big companies
<a few more months later>
5. The aftermarket is so small, all those people and businesses are wasting money
<a couple of months later>
6. Those big sales are just freaks of nature, the only truth is .com and nothing else !
<a couple of months later>
7. Those few big domainers joining doesn't mean anything, they are also wrong !
< a couple of months later>
8. Those 5-6 figure sales at Namescon are all fake, it's a conspiracy against .com !
<a couple of months later>
9. <crickets mostly>
<a few more months later>
9. Well, those millions of new gtld registered domains are just a drop, .com has alot more, forever !
<a few more months later>
10. It means nothing that big companies are creating their own .brand, they will always use .com
<a little more in time>
11. Apple, Oprah, Google, Microsoft, Alibaba, etc are wrong they just made a mistake of regging new gtlds
<a little more in time>
12. What ?! Google bought .xyz ?! Must be false, but if true then it's just the holding page, means nothing
<a little more in time>
13. New gtld's are being used for spam ! <cough>
<a little more in time>
14. Lets "Like" each others anti new gtld posts, this way we will stop reality and the future from happening !
<a little more in time>
15. Only a small part of the world will use new gtlds, the rest will stay with Kodak forever !
<a little more in time>
16. Our 3-4-5 word .com are better than 1-2 word new gtlds !
...

Now we see also posts like this from people who blindly follow(ed) those who are anti new gtlds and are now waking up:

1. With present knowledge i should have invested in new gtlds ...
2. I want to invest in new gtlds but i can't find cheap super good combo's anymore ?!
3. They brainwashed me in 2014 so i kept regging 3-4-5 word .com domains !
4. I thought the past is always a garantee to the future ?!
5. But this man told me in 2014 to stay away from new gtlds ?!
6. But they told me to look only at numbers so went with the tld which has most numbers !
7. They said they are worthless and no one will buy them !?
8 . I can't contact that man anymore who said to only invest in legacy tld's, where is he ?!
9. Strange, that man is now also buying new gtlds while in 2014 he said to stay away from them ?!
10. Wut, i thought legendary domainers stick with Kodak but they are on a buying spree ?!
11. You lied to me !
12. You just ruined a once in a lifetime chance to be part of a new internet domain revolution !
13. But they said the future is dark and the only shining light will always be .com ?!
14. You said my bigscaryhalloweencostumes.com was going to sell for 4 figures ?!

Now on a more serious note, investing comes with risks, the past is never a garantee for the future. Also some people think that suddenly .com is going to disappear within a year because of more choice in tlds, this is not true. It simply means people / businesses have more choice and the playing field is bigger for everyone. Sure it'll have impact on legacy tld's but a huge amount of people aren't yet even online.

Last words, respect each others choices and make the best of it ! Also no need to spend hours a day posting / repeating how bad new gtlds are in the new gtld forum section, it doesn't make sense. Spend the energy on something else

 

[gilescoley]

Kind of odd you would also want to spend the time for development but DON"T want to make money. OK then

Just an informational site, it helps my .com names

Read entire threads and you'll be up to speed, JMO. But now you know the history.

I have, its pretty obvious really

Unless a member, or seller/buyer requests a NDA, or a simple please don't share this info. I see no foul so not sure why you're even going there

In business, unless someone tells you can go and reveal private finance info, you really dont do it, that is just common sense. Whether there is an NDA in place or not, I would never reveal this info on a public forum after discussing it on the phone or via email to someone...remind me not to share it on here lol

Since it wasn't me I don't know the full details therefore I don't have a horse in the race.

I understand totally, it wasnt aimed at you

 

[Recons.Com]

Wow. People are getting really defensive here. My "2 cents" were just "in my humble opinion" for new entrants, not for the ones vested in it and possibly well versed in how to make money in those.

Did not plan to hurt anybody's feelings. I am out of this thread. Thanks.

 

[artstar]

Recons you sure have some decent domains!

 

[Recons.Com]

Recons you sure have some sweet domains!

Thank you ) I might be prejudiced regarding most tlds because of bad experience with .mobi

Bought few years ago, at the peak, probably couple hundred of LLL.mobi and english single word .mobi ) Google was one of their major backers and prices were quite high ) They could have been more successful if they were called .mob, but, on the other hand, "mob" means mafia )))

 

[jedaprin]

its cool id have a grudge to if i lost cash on .mobi, i think .mob would be a great extension compared to .mobi
i think i would only invest in extentions that end with 2 or 3 letters max unless it was epic like Epic.Epic

 

[artstar]

Yea ol mobi took its toll for sure but maybe xyz will be as bit more forgiving in that the Asians are into it driving more interest & $.

The issue with xyz is it doesn't have a specific meaning that many domainers look for like mobi at least meant something.

The thing is xyz looks Asian so that may help in driving sales plus people may not take into consideration there are a billion plus people and everyday many learn domaining and open businesses.

So all one can do really is to stay positive and watch the spending cause at $1 each right now its so ez to go overboard.

We all want a new com opportunity and one or more if these TLDs will make some of us $$$ as we all want to have success maybe not on par with the domain king or fs but any profit is good!

 

[jedaprin]

I think its better for an extension to have no meaning because more things can be added no body wants to buy bankloan.party, .xyz gives you more option so more domains can be used same with .com i dont think it has a meaning but i could be wrong

 

[Dondomainer]

Massive four letters registration...i can not find few with more than 40,000 mo/searches.

 

[jedaprin]

Do you think selling Domains in a bulk lots for auctions is a good idea? because i know some domains ive acquired wont sell

 

[Dondomainer]

Depends on the quality

Do you think selling Domains in a bulk lots for auctions is a good idea? because i know some domains ive acquired wont sell

depends on the quality, I would not do that. this is just beginning now.

 

[jedaprin]

Well i did it anyways haha wish me luck
Hopefully the return is worth the effort

Ah i see the lost battle against reality is still being waged by the 2 inhouse residents and a couple of new faces joining them in this most heroic battle to stay with Kodak and never to surrender to Digital

Your post is funny, but Kodak is a poor comparison. New extensions work exactly the 'old' ones, there is no technological improvement at all. But with the instability that has been brought to the DNS, you can now be certain that some TLDs won't survive. Those who built a web presence on shifting sands might regret they traded the Kodak for a Digital Mirage.
All extensions are technically equal, but some are more equal than others when it comes to their track record.

8 . I can't contact that man anymore who said to only invest in legacy tld's, where is he ?!

It's funny, but if you look at the new TLD hype threads from the last ten years, the cheerleaders are all gone, along with those who blindly followed the poor advice handed out by people with little or no previous experience of domain sales. The dropout rate is high in domaining.

A reasonable person will tell you to diversify your investments and keep a balanced portfolio, that means you'd rather concentrate on proven extensions and limit your exposure to unproven things. It could mean 5-10% of your available funds for example. Gambling it all on new extensions will most likely not pan out well but what do I know.
Diversify doesn't mean one should buy anything just for the sake of diversification.

Reality check: look at what end users are using, what they are buying. Look at businesses around you, do they use .xyz ? They don't. Will they ? Ask them just to see their reaction

 

[brandnow]

Businesses do not use xyz. Period.

Hey, here is a question.

For anybody with knowledge of Chinese. Does "XYZ" stand for something, since they all are "Chinese Premium" letters?

For English, yes, there is certain disadvantage compared to .com or .org or .net, which are easily pronounceable and you don't have to say "dot Ci Ou Em", although you hear sometimes over the radio " Ou aR Gi". With XYZ you have to sound out every time.

Hello!

I read that: XYZ is an acronym for the phrase "XiaoYuZhou" which translates into “little universe”...
