new gtlds .XYZ, .CLUB and .VIP Receive Government Approval In China

[Silentptnr]

Been reading all over about this today. Looks like approval has finally come for .xyz, .club and .vip. Should see inceased registrations now that sites using these three tld's can be hosted in china.

I read about this on domaining.com.

I understand that it was a business sale and not a domain sale but it is another good End-User using .XYZ.
Abc.xyz Starship.xyz Engine.xyz
Those are three other noteworthy End-Users. There is a long list at ...

There will be end users in every extension ... particularly new ones as some start-ups try to gamble ahead of time on what will be the next hot new TLD ... but at the end of the day if you take the ratio of built up end-user sites divided by the number of domains in circulation and .xyz probably has the smallest fraction of % usage.

This new news will definitely drive up short term sales and speculation .. but the real question is if it will actually drive end users to use/develop these domains .. or more likely simply inflate the .xyz bubble even further?

Their price points make the answer to that question almost impossible to tell. At pennies for first year registration these domains are essentially free ... it's not a business model that lends to easy evaluation.

China is a very weird market .. the growth/bubble last year had little to do with actual usage of the domains and more to do with the money market and unusual loan system over there. It's something that's very hurtful to domains in the long term as it creates artificial bubbles (although I guess if you sell on the high side of the bubble it can be good for you .. but this bubble isn't based on domaining fundamentals at all).

Obviously if you have/get great key-terms left of dot at $0.01 then there really isn't anything to lose .. you'll definitely come out a winner at this point ... but with millions of .xyz domains already registered by domainers the real question is are there any solid domains left in significant numbers (because yes .. even in .com the odd great one can still be hand regged .. but I think you know what I mean)?

At the end of the day this is actually more "non-news" than people think .. as the real news would be something that generated more end-users .. which for us would mean more RETAIL sales at better prices. This news simply moves a small handful of low-end .com sales over to .club and .xyz ...

At first thought without looking at the numbers at all, is that although this is good short term news .. but I'm thinking it's completely insignificant compared to the crushing drop for .xyz next year when the $0.01 registrations face full price renewals.

Combine that with the fact spammers flock to the lowest price extension and I'm not sure if I'd want to be holding anything but the top 0.01% left-of-dot .xyz domains next year (ex: single-key-term, LLL or less, NNNN or less, short-Chinese-terms, etc).

At the end of the day there are WAY too many .xyz out there to justify the demand .. plus the sale price point for most of them doesn't justify holding them longer than 364 days .. at that point will you sell enough to make it worth your time/effort? My guess to that answer is "no" for pretty much any .xyz domains still left today .. the only exception is possibly Chinese speakers who have tons of time to go through a lot of possible terms and popular play-on-words not registered yet ...

Ok story behind this,
I was reading a fake news site about a guy buying yearofthe .horse domain for a million. then it hit me.
I wonder has anyone ever regged the complete set so I went searching and no.
Nobody owns the Complete chinese Zodiac calendar in YearOfThe(Animal) .com, .net .biz. .org .info Different people own different ones and some own a few more, so it would be nearly impossible to buy them that way.

so GD very kindly put on a sale and I snapped these up.
The complete list of Chinese Zodiac calendar all owned by me.
I foresee a great future in these domains!

Had no idea what that is, put it in quotes - https://www.google.com/search?q="GRO+club"&biw=1280&bih=541&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwinidfSz-XQAhXMdSYKHe-eCWIQ_AUIBygC

So it's a prostitution club? Oh it is, so I guess it's legal over there

A girl working in a club or bar in the Philippines to keep male customers company. The "Guest Relations Officer" or GRO always gets the men to buy her inflated priced "Ladies Drinks" that she gets a monetary kickback from. Nearly all GROs are prostitutes who can be "Bar Fined" and taken from the bar for short time or long time sex. Nearly all GROs fall under the auspices of the "Maddam" and live at the bar or in substandard dormitories provided by the bar.

I recommend purchasing single keywords like:

Brokering.xyz
Diplomacy.xyz
Innovating.xyz

Or first names like:

Ashley.xyz

indeed, caifu has a very good meaning, we Chinese people like this word very much.

Question please does the Chinese market use the .org often? We have a name duzhu.org ( "bet" ) that we think has real potential in the future-thank you.

 

[dreweta]

London555 - I have Caifu.global and I'm not a million miles from you (assuming your name betrays your location).

Does anyone have first hand experience with the Namescon market?

Am considering putting these into the auction.

M8S.club (mates)
xpd8.club
Luxury8.club (luxuriate)
Ramwater.com

I believe 8 is a lucky number in China

 

[168]

Quick question... I have HongKong88.xyz. It's in its Grace Period. Should I renew it? Will it be worth anything? Or just let it drop?

It's worth the spec for one more year
submit to NamesCon auction see if it sticks ( you may be able to get an answer before renewing you'll have to do it now though.
Cheers

I don't recall them accepting any LN combos Mostly because there are sooo many other better quality options
Last year and this year is the first time they accepted domains that weren't .com
Only the top potentials actually go to the event, others that don't get bids prior stay on name jet.
Happy Hunting

"I'm not sure if I'd want to be holding anything but the top 0.01% left-of-dot" (referencing .xyz)

This is probably true for most tlds.
