question Going to buy some Emoji domains?

[Mubs]

Hi all,

Im thinking of purchasing a few Emoji domains, know which I want but got a few questions.

Are they only available in .ws? And they worth anything?

In future when other extensions become available will the .ws become worthless?

Your responses will be appreciated

Thanks

Mubeen

Right now we only support emojis on .ws, but I don't know if that's a registry limitation or our own limitation. I believe it's safe to say that more TLDs will open up to emojis in the future

Hey thanks for your response.

I know only .ws are available but will they be valuable if in future other extensions become available?

Not entirely certain they're valuable right now, but if .com gets in the game then it's a safe bet the .ws versions won't command much on the resale market.

They are gadgets, but worse (= useless) than domain hacks. At least you can type domain hacks with a regular keyboard.

As far as value goes, I don't know. I have 8, I think. I just sold one on Afternic for $250. So, I think value is there...if you can get a single character. I'll probably hold onto the others if I don't sell them first.

(I do have some for sale on the best damn domaining website, NamePros, at https://www.namepros.com/threads/10...ndhemp-com-ws-ws-cannaaddict-liquo-rs.996353/ )

ok I purchased 4 they are:

Foot ball ws
️ cloud computer ws
️ sun ws
☬ ws

What do you people think of these?

 

[Kate]

.ws is worthless anyway

Hi there is a whole other thread on here about emoji domains and sales - check it out. https://www.namepros.com/threads/emoji-could-soon-take-over-domain-names-cnet.980832/


They could be worth something since CocaCola used one in ad campaign and there is a big Emoji film coming out this year.

.ws is not that popular though Godaddy used to push it as an abbreviation for WebSite.
More like worthless sh*t, or we suck, or Weird Stuff.

Emoji domains as brandable commodity is where it is headed. Emoji text combo is where the value is!

more TLDs will open up to emojis in the future

.ws is not a tld it is a cctld

It's a IDN!

It's a IDN!

The .ws extension is a cctld (country code) .com extension is a tld (top level domain)
only the .ws currently supports the emoji idn format, icann have less control, if any over cctlds, that's why .ws can do this. Dot com would need Icann to approve the emojis
~
Point was that so far no Tlds have opened up to emojis

.ws is a ccTLD (country-code top level domain) and a TLD much like a thumb is also a finger...

.com is a TLD and a gTLD (generic top level domain) along with .info/.net/.org/.horse etc etc

TLD = top level domain which is a part of a FQDN "fully qualified domain name" which includes an SLD a "dot' and a TLD, in that order. The TLD can be either a ccTLD or a gTLD

hope that helps

Okay..Really new to this, so be gentle..
Let's say I buy a "emoji" domain.
Then what?
Park it ?
Developed it?
Try to flip it?

Basically, how do you make money from it?

You print it, frame it and hang on a wall )

Or make a birthday gift, much like a land lot on the Moon ))

well, it's pure speculation right now that emoji domains will increase in value enough that an end user will want to acquire one of the domains you register. You won't make parking rev off of it, and developing it isn't exactly a domainer activity, so I suppose the answer is buy and hold.
