BREAKING | .top topped .xyz



this is a historical breaking news.
We knowww that 'top' means 'top'. Therefore, the TLD .top can not be topped in it's meaning by anyyy other TLD.

But nowww & todayyy, according to the website http://www.namestat.org the TLD .top topped the TLD .xyz also by it's number of registrations:

.top | 2,615,724 domains registered
.xyz | 2,579,162 domains registered

So nowww the TLD .top currentlyyy has 36,562 domains more registered than the TLD .xyz

Here is a today's screenshot (marked) of the mentioned website which shows these numbers:

As I 'predicted' in past - and as we can seee nowww - the TLD .top is nowww the most registered newww TLD of all newww TLDs.
But I am sure, that this is still just the beginning - because the TLD .top will also top the TLD .com in it's number of registrations one dayyy like it has topped .com in it's meaning since it's first dayyy

What do you think???
How long it will need until .top will top the TLD .com also by it's registration numbers???
You are wwwelcome to share your viewww

All the best with your invest,
KINGOF.TOP

what is .xyz renewal fee?

I pay 7.88 at Namecheap...

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

Your optimism is amazing. However, the .TP has some domains coming up for renewal too.

Every te el deee has renew al feee

Yep! The cheapest renewal fee for .top is about 6 bucks. Still a little cheaper than .xyz.

west.xyz > .top renewal / transfer > 2.35 USD (2017-07-18)

The most successful extension will be the one run by a company that doesn't care if the registry makes a $1 or not and doesn't much care if by running its registry it makes a loss and isn't too bothered about making a loss

The financial gtlds and legal gtlds I reckon will be ok over time as there will always be very wealthy companies that can afford to run these gtlds at a loss just to have access to a few extremely good gtld domains

Even the best gtld if run by someone that needs the gtld to make money and if the gtld didn't make money would struggle to make ends meet - I such gtlds won't be around for long

 

[platey]

Mind you king of top would need. Top to be around for some time as the most expensive domain in the world needs to use the. Top registry

And is. Top registry top due to the sheer volume of. Top domains king of top bought? Lol

I do remember a while back on here icing of top was buying quite a few. Top domains?

 

[platey]

Just had this idea just now

Could a registry accept gtlds from any registry?

As gtld registries eventually go to the wall etc due to lack of domains in that registry being bought etc

If a person who bought a gtld domain from a registry that has gone bust etc
Can they keep their gtld that they paid for and still be able to use it via a different registry? And just pay the new registry their renewal rate yearly

west.xyz > .top renewal / transfer > 2.35 USD (2017-07-18)

Thanks, not aware of that one. 0.59 for buying as well.

These (and other Chinese resellers prices) is an obvious reason for the high numbers. Just as for .xyz.

It wouldn't surprise me if we'll see cheaper .xyz renewals anytime soon.

Sure, the main part of .top registrations lays (currently) in China, we all knowww that - it's a fact if we look at the stats.
A registry in a country with such a high population number can afford these prices.
It's China - but it's one world wide web
Means, in fact everyone can benefit from it if s/he knowww howww

I can imagine that .xyz will maybe 'retop' .top in its reg. numbers for a or some short period/s - but in the long run, I am sure, .xyz doesn't have anyyy chance against .top in this 'competition'.
I this case not because of China - but because regarding the (top -) fact(or), that nearly the whole world knows that 'top' means 'top'.

 

[Fancy.domains]

The future will tell. We (neither you or me) simply don't know. We can only make predictions based on either existing data or just wishes. Or a combination of both. The theory that .top should reach the top simply because it has that name, is (in my world) nonsense, perhaps based on your own expectations.

Coca-Cola has probably sold a million times more bottles than Top Cola, regardless of it's crazy name.

And no, I will not "debate" this further in this thread.

Well, Coca-Cola is currentlyyy the most known cola, but it's just the top cola by dissemination.
But TOP COLA is alreadyyy the top cola in it's meaning (top = top).
So TOP COLA topps Coca-Cola in realityyy, like .top topps .com / .net / .org / .biz / .info / ... / .xyz in realityyy
It's like with TLDs - there can only be one top cola, like there can only be one .top TLD.

Therefore, no need to debate this further in this thread.
But if you or someone other starts this TOP COLA vs Coca-Cola debate again, you can assume that I will continuing to contribute to its (debates) growth.

Is the .top " re-seller " marketplace on a steady pace , a bit slow or, on the rise?

That is, the " re-selling " of more mainstream names rather than the exclusive premium names, what is that marketplace like?

Are the rank and file sellers " re-selling " .top domains with any consistency?

Curious as to your analysis of the average .top re- sale marketplace.

According to Namebio.com, there were many sales in 2015 and 2016, but very few this year, so far.

guys, dropping numbers doesn't mean anything, xyz had a promotion last year they gave a way xyz for free for a limited time ,and then they had 99 cents promotion so many people registered so many crap domains that they should not have registered in the first place, they just registered these domains because of the fact that it was free or very cheap
so don't really pay attention to these numbers, these stats are really for FYI, not something that you make your decision based on.
good luck

There is an official ICANN emergency process that exists for registries that develop problems. The registrants will be protected and the backend operations will be maintained wtith the registry possibly being sold off.

It's all still at stage 1.
In other words, the expected TLD - chaos is 'perfect'.
The whole domaining market is like a debris field.
That's whyyy I build on .top

Nothing means nothing.
Everything has a meaning.
.top, i. e., means top.

Of course, that's not nice to see and I am optimistic that it will change - not at least because my personal experience over the last years is this one (estimated):

95 % spam I got /get was / is from .com
5 % from .net
0 % from .top

According to the same site, (most of the time) the top spam country is USA

Spammers will lose anywayyy

Probably because even though .com is only tests at 8% bad domains, 8% of 150,000,000 is still way more than all the .top domains in existence!

Of course thats the reason.
Unfortunately also spammers prefer .top but it has (sad) logic - simply because it's the most registered new TLD and so they chose it like in fact the most spammers have choosen .com

BTʬʬʬ , .com has about 130 M. regs., not 150 M.

I realized that the link I posted before, doesn't work - so here is it again, now working:

We see, (most of the time) the #1 worst spam country is USA.
Just saying, becasue it's the part of the world 'from where .com comes'

I think it's more likely that it's the most registered new TLD because so many spammers have registered the names. If the .top registry isn't tough on misused domains, it'll be more attractive to spammers, and thus a less attractive TLD overall.

It's almost ironic... the TLD with one of the "nicest" sounding names is actually quite trashy. Reminds me of this apartment complex in my city called Britannia By The Bay; really it's just a crappy apartment building beside a Wal-Mart.

In a sense, I'll have to agree.

I think to best 3 letter extensions could have done much better without just trying to make a quick buck. All these crazy "premium name renewals" and (maybe fake) sales directly via the registries has provided a bitter aftertaste.

I think they should have adopted one fair price for all (just as for a .com) and then auctioned out all the best names, but kept the regular renewal fees.

Ok, their first priority is probably trying to attract possible end-users, not domainers. Still, I personally think that domainers are the ones keeping some of these extensions alive at the moment.

Real .top domainers won't get irritated by spammers.
Spammers have a short domaining life, they will never reach the top.
.top will recover steadyyy because of that.

What is trashyyy in myyy viewww, is, to think, that .top isn't top.
But the last part of your last sentence in your last post is quite funny hahaha

All your considerations have essence.
But in case of .top I am convinced that the registry handled it well.
They are offering their premium domains for premium prices but with normal renewal prices.
This helps both, startups & domainers.

Also, don't forget, .top topped .xyz and all other new TLDs in the meanwhile.
I don't think that they made wrong decisions.

Another point is, that I am very convinced, that 'USA is frustrated about the fact that CHINA owns the .top TLD'.
Because whoever owns the TLD .top owns the .top TLD.
And this fact has a far higher meaning than obviously many think.
But it will get clearer dayyy by dayyy

+++ UPDATE +++

The gap between .top and .xyz is getting bigger.

According to
http://www.namestat.org
today's .top and .xyz registrations are:

.top | 2,578,822 domains registered
.xyz | 2,406,033 domains registered

So, regardless the fact that the registration numbers of both TLDs decreased since my original post of this thread, nowww the TLD .top currentlyyy has 172,789 domains more registered than the TLD .xyz

At the date of my original post, .top had 36,562 domains more registered than the TLD .xyz - that's 136,227 domains difference.

Here is a today's screenshot (marked) of the mentioned website which shows these numbers:

Well, we knowww that top = top - but will .top stay also @ the top (of all new TLDs) in numbers of registrations???

What do you think???

They have both dropped millions of registrations, .TOP is just dropping at a slower rate now.
They are both headed in the wrong direction. XYZ is just getting there faster...
