Virtual Reality Domains (VR)

[mrcurly]

Im betting big bucks on VR domains have a great future and with the big boys buying up VR companies, mainstream is a stones throw away.....

Lots of VR+keyword.com taken years ago and I noticed this sale a week or so back -

VRTechnology.com $3688

This was a steel and I can soon see everything from VRPoker / VRCasinos / VRShopping / VRBrowsing / VRTours / VRWorlds / etc etc....having a high price tag even now at the start of VR hitting mainstream...

I have just paid $x,xxx for a name but will not be showcasing as the domain is in escrow at present....

Feel free to showcase your VR domains If you like...

Cheers

Im sure he does, but he also has a lot of names for sale as well, so maybe he is both

 

[LucidDomains]

I will do @LucidDomains....not for one moment do I think that no VR names will sell for $30k, or even more for the good ones, but I don't think this one will be one of them, let me know if it does and I will happily at my words. Personally I think VRCasino.de is better than VirtualCasino.de..

Im not saying it wont sell it for a profit, my point is just if you are going to buy a name for 3K, make sure you are getting the best value for money. As I keep saying, this is just my opinion and Im not underestimating whats coming, Im just talking about this specific name.

I think it's a decent name personally. Yes I agree VR is better than Virtual at this stage, who knows what will happen for sure in the future. But if all the decent VR names get snapped up, Virtual names will surely dramatically increase in value.

I and others will be happy to tell you, you were wrong in 2-3 years time. However, if I for one, listened to some of your advice, I surely would have missed the boat of some of my acquisitions.

There were people out there who said I was frickin crazy for buying S*xVR(.)com for $10K at the time. I'm glad I didn't follow their advice and went with my gut.

Being a previous casino affiliate, I would pay $3K for VirtualCasino(.)de myself, that's how I know its undersold.

 

[LucidDomains]

When virtual gambling kicks off the commissions from affiliate marketing will be a lot bigger than it is for regular online gambling. This buyer knows this and is a smart cookie.

Lets wait and see then, I am already seeing what I predicted even last year about too many average names being registered and people are now panicking about all the renewal fees coming up....I have seen a lot of pumping and dumping going on as predicted, selling bulk VR names on here and other places....buy decent names and you will be fine

I dont think I one of those though...its a decent name and worth the risk.

However if I for one listened to you some of your advice, I sure I would have missed the boat of some of my names.

Which bit of advice was that, the part about grabbing decent names...thats why they are just opinions, and I keep emphasizing that if you go back and check..

I wish everywhere the best of luck.

What is a decent name? It seems your criteria for a decent name differs to mine. And this is what it comes down to. You know from previous trends which names are 'decent'. But after 1.5 years of domain acquisitions, my gut continues to say that the VR trend will be unlike anything that has come before it. This isn't something that will come for 6 months and fizzle out. This is something that will come for 6-10 years.

Of course just my opinion and we can agree to disagree.

Absolutely, we all have different views on what are good, average or crappy names and thats the joy of domaining. I've never been a naysayer or anything, my posts about "stop regging crappy" names and "focus on quality names" were only aimed to try and help some people (mainly people who are new to the game) who were going reg-crazy and regging anything with VR in it. That just doesnt work in any industry, even VR where the possibilities are endless. There will only be a certain amount of existing and startup VR companies and therefore a certain amount of domain names will be required, so try and get the best you can afford.

I agree that VR will be around for a long time to come though...actually I agree with about 99% of what you say on this thread

 

[LucidDomains]

You are experienced domainer and your insight and advice gives a needed balance to an often hyped up thread that may or may not reflect the true nature of VR at that particular moment.

VR might do very well but may take longer than people realise, there's no harm in being grounded and suggesting others to be the same.

No one knows the future for sure, it's best to mitigate risk where possible.

Time will give us the answer. Good luck to everybody.

China sets up alliance to give real boost to virtualreality sector

China set up an industry alliance for virtual reality (VR) on Thursday, in a move to accelerate the application of VR in entertainment, education and manufacturing.
The Industry of Virtual Reality Alliance includes more than 170 enterprises, universities as well as research institutes
HTC Corp, the Taiwan based company known for its VR headset HTC Vive, and Beihang University, which has a national VR laboratory, are among them

there is some heated nice discussions about uses for VR domains in future.. just wanted to add that VR domain sales in future can come from many different sources and enduser types... and do not have to be very limited in number.. it can be movie titles, game titles, products, services.. discussion boards.. forums.. social venues... personal projects relating to VR needing websites... etc etc... really, the list can get rather long.. and that's only for possibilities we can imagine today.. not counting the new unknown unimaginable concepts VR may take us down the road, because it has that potential to create new concepts/realities... so all this is would be really very comparable to how domains today are bought and used by all kinds of people and/or companies.. and not just limited to this or that.

to this of course also we have to add the good old domain speculators buying and reselling VR domains between them, according to values they each believe or assign any domain may be worth later on.. in same way this happens today with all other niches.. those of course would be selling less than enduser generally.. but again, values would depend on each invididual speculator who makes the purchase and the invididual name.. because VR is not a niche like chinese chips where there is pretty much set floor for all types of domains.. in VR its on case by cases basis and values. for instance, as domain speculator I may go today to visit site for sale for domain VRjob.com (example) and I may offer the seller $1000. another speculator may offer $2000 or $500 etc etc. this pattern of speculative VR dn sales between resellers can continue into future as well.. even once VR becomes more mainstream. but that'll still create sales for current owners, and then for owner after them etc.. in same way endusers create sales.... so it can also create profits for some.. or losing money for others etc.. a very wide range of markets and possibilities indeed.

I am trying to be as objective as I can here, and use logic, but imo it is bit limiting to conclude the only VR domains finding home will be ones that may be needed by new companies and startups... of course, there will only be one way to find this out.. and that's by waiting.. but.. no harm in talking and opinionating in meantime I guess.

just some thoughts of mine.

speaking of domains speculators buying and selling amongst them..
small money.. but hey.. still $100 profit for original owner probably.. when this gets sold next time to another speculator in months or a year, it can be very different price.. so domainer transactions also create market, profits, sometimes loses etc.. in VR ..... or any niche for that matter... not being more important than enduser market of course, but no one can deny the existence of a domainer speculator market.

I wouldn't worry. as far as I know the VR market penetration has still not gone above 0.01% since last time hahaha.

it's a long future ahead. so be sure not worry too much now, cause it is bad for health, and we want to live long as possible to see this future happen

As a VR user myself, I can assure you it isn't going away. With the awesome capability and potential of this technology there is no going back. Don't forget the majority of people in the world still don't even know what VR is.

I believe quality VR domain names can only go up in value over the next few years and will still be relevant way into the future.

fully agree... market penetration is now virtually non existent. just bigger than 5 years ago.. or 1 year.. etc..

so its only up for VR now. the onyl questions remaining is.. how long it'll take.. at which rate penetration happens.. and then for us, how many domains will be sold in total in next 1 year.. then 2 years then 3 years.. and then why not in 10 years. we can opinionate all we like.. but like I said before, we'll only know how many VR domains sold in one year, in one year+one day.. and how many sold in 2 years, in 2 years +1 day.. etc.. its just how reality works.

I was just making the point that it does not have to be only a few handful of sales in next years limited only to companies or startups (though who is truly to say there couldn't be hundreds of startups or companies too, in years to come).. when pretty much anyone with online presence for whatever service/product/idea/website need, may be interested in a VR domain.. so when some say sales will be limited.. I see the opposite of that. and at this point it's not even wishful thinking.. just logic.. yes I invest in them as do all of us, but the potential is all there in front of us.. waiting to be realzied.. so why play it down when its all there. I ain't inventing stuff but if ever I do start inventin stuff in future, I authorize "you" to hit my auto destruct button.

anyway.. just my 2 cents..

Exactly. I believe over the coming years many companies who want to stay current and relevant will need a presence in VR, kinda like a VR division, and they'll want the relevant domains to either setup a separate site, use as a redirect, or simple protect their niche.

There'll also be loads of VR TV series, movies, games, companies, websites and retailers with creative VR related titles, not just VRname or nameVR, so domainers also need to be creative.

Also, MR, AR, Holo etc isn't going to replace VR, just exist alongside it, as so much entertainment and applications work best with the total immersion that VR provides. Worrying VR will be gone in 10 years time would have been like worrying TV would be gone 10 years after it launched. Plus despite the success of TV, radio is still going strong all these years later.

For me, the sequence goes newspaper, radio, TV, VR

New Galaxy S8 Leak Reveals Samsung's Powerful Surprise

http://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2016/09/29/samsung-galaxy-s8-leak-vr-graphics/#1d10e78e5945


The rumored specifications for the presumptively titled Samsung Galaxy S8 suggest that the South Korean smartphone will ship with one of the most powerful graphics chips on the market, ARM’s Mali-G71. This monster of a chip will be paired up with a 4K resolution screen (typically 3840 x 2160 pixels). That much power in both graphical ability and in computational power (with an octa-core SnapDragon system-on-chip) paired wit an ultra high definition screen suggests that the Galaxy S8′s secret weapon will be VR.

These 4K devices will help overcome one of the things currently putting lots of people off VR - low resolution screen door effect.

you genius...wish you best of luck anyway
btw, i did not reg similar XNXS+keywords yet. already too many VR+ on list

 

[i5stars]

Solutions is fantastic keyword.. tech/financial/brand.. its one of rare ones where plural is superior imo.. but the reasons are quite obvious..its for similar reasons that Ventures is one of my favorites too.. in just about any niche... but those being great keywords, they are usually hard to reg and top price to buy

holding:

VR-ventures.com

cheers

me too like plural...VintagesVR .com

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

you genius...wish you best of luck anyway
btw, i did not reg similar XNXS+keywords yet. already too many VR+ on list

Genius? eeehhh? only time will tell. like I said not much sales on namebio for the "XNXS" keyword set.

I did see some of these domains reg by Chinese.

xnxsw.com (virtual Reality)
xnxst.com (virtual Reality)
xnxsz.com (virtual Reality)
xnxso.com (virtual Reality) (not taken has the "bad" letter O)
XNXSG.com (virtual Reality)
XNXSC.com (virtual Reality)






give it a try its fun. if you are bored. try XNXS + every letter and put it into google Translator. (make sure to set it to Chinese to English) and input xnxs to the left box and just add every litter in the alphabet at thee end and see what it translates to.

seems like just adding certain specific letters actually doesn't change the mean of "Virtual Reality". It doesn't add anything to the end of the word "Virtual Reality".

but the other letter combos are funny. lol

XNXS+A = New Year Chic. lol
XNXS+ Q= Think of Those things.

also Letter +XNXS

ZXNXS = These Female Students

by the way just found out XNXSH.com (Virtual Reality)

Is owned by none other than Booksir. At first I thought maybe newbie Chinese domainers were simply registering XNXS domains for the hell of it. but after seeing this right now? I don't know. Booksir is well known Chinese domainer. check his site here. If he is getting into VR at least for Chinese market??

www.ShuSheng.com is the registrant.
