domain What do you think about my new gTLD domain? Advice thread.

[Brands.International]

In this thread, I will give you my opinion about your submitted new gTLD domain name.

I will focus not only on its numerical appraisal, but also will take other factors into consideration (mainly renewal fee and what you do with the name, where it is presented, etc), to debate whether it is a good investment choice (in my opinion). Just because I am a new gTLD investor it does not mean that I will give good opinion on crappy names - so I will tell you when I see no value or potential. To see examples of new gTLD domain names I personally invest in, you can check my website www.brands.international.

Rules:
1. Only 1 new gTLD domain name can be submitted daily per 1 Namepros user.
2. This thread is related to new gTLD domain names only - I can not give you my opinion about .com, .net, org or ccTLD names like .de or .co.uk names, as I do not have enough direct experience with them.
3. I am not responsible for any damages related to my advice - it is only my personal opinion, although I will really try my best to give reasonable, and well-balanced opinion.
4. You can submit only domain name you personally own.
5. For security and privacy purposes, all names submitted and discussed in replies must be in
keyword(s) / gTLD extension format (for example royal / estate, or bestgames / online)
6. Comments/opinions/appraisals from other members on any name submitted here are very welcome ​

How about camping.xyz?

I like this domain name. It seems it has standard renewal fee attached to it, which is around 9-10 at many registrars for .xyz.

The name was registered in early new gTLD times, at Jun 2014, and not dropped once since then.

There are some good close alternatives for this domain available in .store, .online, .tech, .site, but all of those with pretty high premium renewals attached to them (and I mean really quite high .. XX XXX / year ).

Just the small remark : when I visit the the domain, it does not have a landing page. Your details are not visible in WHOIS after GDPR legislation, so if you plan to resell, make sure people can actually somehow get in touch with you. If you plan to develop it, no such need of course.

Pool of end users is pretty large here. Taking also reported sales so far in namebio.com for .xyz into consideration, I would feel name can sell anywhere between 3-12k with probability of resale for this price as 1% in any given year of holding.

This imo makes it an perfect investment for you as an domain name investor: your projected profit for any given year of holding is between 30-120, while your cost is only 10-12. The odds for profit here are imo very sharply set in favour of domain investor. Great name!

How about Education.life ?

The name was first registered in early new gTLD times, September 2014. It was then dropped after 2 years, and then again registered.

I remember that I appraised that already few months ago, and I still think it can sell for 1-3k with probability of resale for this price as 1% for any given jear of holding. According information I got then it seems that name has standard renewal attached to it, which is 20-30 at many registrars.

From investment point of view, projected profit for any given year is therefore 10-30, while cost is around 20-30. This would then make it not in favour of you as an domain investor.

But if you learn how to utilize the transfer promotions (if the name is indeed with standard renewal), and do it on regular basis year by year, it will suddenly become profitable, as your costs of holding can decrease to as low as 5 / year. (more details in appraisal for diverse / life I did few posts above).

Overall, if you use transfer promotions at least from time to time (some years yes, some years no), it will become balanced situation (what you give in you will probably get back).

I totally agree on the time frame aspect of things, as it is impossible to foresee when a domain name will be sold. But the concept behind this domain name is absolutely huge. It might pass under your radar, with all talk of smart technology, but the smartest innovations within communal space (and home) might not be web-enabled. It is a growing concept - improving functionality and planning design to accommodate changing needs over an lifetime. Besides adaptable houses/cities, this idea of "livable design" are being embraced within healthcare and farming/gardening.

I might have to hold this domain for a long time, but that is fine. The renewal fee is nothing more than an .io for instance. It is also a perfect match TLD, that is used even by big companies like Facebook and AirBnB.

I really appreciate your hard work with this thread! Keep it up. Thanks.

Thanks friend, and I hope you get some nice sale with this one!

 

[Brands.International]

Honestly @lolwarrior , thanks a bunch for this.
Just felt it to be kind of a "can't go wrong at all" hand reg considering mycasino.co.uk which went for around 2.5k and the search volumes for online casino / casino online which are pretty solid.
Totally sharing your doubts regarding the prefix, but hey, renewals are negligible and once you win in YOUR casino you might stay for a bit longer than in everyones
Thanks again for going that deep into it! Cheers

You are welcome! Btw, I am just curious also for myself: what are the renewals for this extension at registrar where you keep this one?

appmaker.app

In brokerage / app feedback (#97 in this thread) I gave my overall view about .app.

So I wil focus here mainly on your keyword, which is "appmaker", so it is word1word2 string

I have to say I am pessimistic about resale value of this one: my main reason is, that end user can go for dozens of close or more distant alternatives available at new gTLD space for string appmaker.

End user can also opt for other strings like, all of them available at time of writing in .app: appmakers, appcreation, appguru, approbot, appAI, apppcreators, appwizards, makeapp, doapp,...whatever.. And again, all those strings are available also in dozens of other new gTLD extensions, for reg fee.

Btw, I think I understand where you are coming from, you are not alone who had this idea of symetry:

app (some nice technical keyword related to apps) . app.

Lot of people who invest in new gTLDs are/were doing experiments like this in other new gTLD extensions, but it was not working then, and is still not going to work in 2018 imo - if end user opt to buy a new gTLD domain from domain investor, they will want nice 1 worder which goes semantically well with new gTLD extension.

Personally I do not think the string "appmaker" is going to deliver profit - I would go only for high quality, 1 worders.

NearBy.Rentals

Well, this domain sounds nice first, but ater a moment of thinking, I am like: who is going to be an end user for that? Nearby Rentals of what exactly? Homes? Boats? Bikes? Cars? Everything?

Lol, really not sure about this one. Even as a brandable, it would need to be some very creative end user to actually name his business like this - and it would bring them to disadvantage, as it would not be simply clear what they are renting.

So problem with this domain is that it is very vague.

Name seems to have standard renewal for .rentals, which is around 25-30 in many registrars.

What really strikes me is that although I do not feel this name, there are obviously others who see a value in it: it was first registered in early new gTLD times, in May 2014, then holded for 2 years, then dropped, then registered again and holded for 2 years, then again dropped, then registered by OP.

The BIN price is set at the moment at 1.5k. For first year of holding it is ok to try it for this price as you have already invested into it, but for subsequent years of holding I think odds would get against the domain investor, as projected profit would be 15/year, while holding cost is 25-30 / year.

IMO this one is not going to deliver.

SmartPhones.Company

 

[campurile]

Hello,

I like the name, it is nice and meaningful combo

But from math point of view, this is not going to deliver for you, imo. This is the name, which can sell for 800-3k with probability of resale for this price 1%. (hmm, when I checked namebio.com now I see I was even pretty generous with 3k upper range...)

That means, that your projected profit for any given year of holding this name is calculated as 0.01*(800-3k) which makes it between 8-30.

Cost per any given year of holding is about 100.

8-30 is much less then 100. Which means that imo those odds are sharply against you and your profit with this name, unfortunately.

Thanks!
What about saying that it has around 230 type in/mouth with about 2$ revenue from parking? It will be worth keeping it? Will you keep it, if you were me?

Fortune / cash

I think the keyword "fortune" perfectly matches .cash extension as both are closely associated with wealth/finance/investment. The domain is suitable to financial institutions, fintech companies and financial media firms.

The renewal fee is USD24 per year. Do you think it is a great domain?

Your advice is deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Ok, we speak about military / diet domain here : I know from others new gTLD investors that some .recipes and .diet domains they registered have lot of traffic, as it seems that people search a lot for those topics.

230 visitors / month with 2 revenue is not bad, it will make 24 revenue / years. This basically reduce your 100 renewal to 76 renewal, so to speak. It still does not make much sense from math point of view for passive holding. Personally, it would not be for me, if I were you.

Now this domain would be perfect for end user who would develop it, then this renewal is not really important, as with well developed content about military diet it can generate tons of traffic - this should be your main argument in case you will do outbound for it. Give it some try, but for passive holding, I think it is more for loosing money, then a money maker.

jiffy/solutions

Well, I googled that name in detail. You are the first one who registered it, in Jun 2018.

In general I can say that I personally think this is not going to be an profitable investment - end user pool for this domain is extremely narrow (few companies are using this term for their products and most of them have some solid domains), and keyword as such is very very weak. There are unregistered alternatives available in most of other new gTLDs extensions for this keyword at the moment of writing this.

Try it as you have already invested into it, but after one year, I personaly would not renew. As for resale price, maybe 200-1,5k, but probability of such resale is close to 0, imo.

Crypt / international
Crypt / guide
Wallets / International

Any thoughts?

So as per of your other clarification post, I will give feedback for crypt / guide.

A crypt (from Latin crypta "vault") is a stone chamber beneath the floor of a church or other building. It typically contains coffins, sarcophagi, or religious relics.

In short, this is not going to work. End user pool for word crypt is extremely limited, and this word is available in most of others new gTLD extensions (162 exactly, you can check that at Uniregistry.com for example), unregistered at the time of writing this feedback.

Well, you are missing this small "o" at the end of your keyword. In this case the shorter is definitely not better. If the "o" would be there, you would be probably singing all the way to your bank now. But "crypt" is not going to deliver anything for you, this is a money looser imo.

ie.mba for appraisal

ie.edu is a developed site, IE is an international business school in Spain.

Thank you

I am not going to appraise it while it is in auction at Namepros as I do not wish to interfere anyhow into open auctions.
.
Let me know when auction is closed, and I will give the feedback then, thank you

eCoupons/app

I like it, this is very smart move!

I gave general thoughs about .app in my previous appraisal for brokerage / app, so here I will focus only on keyword.

The fact is, that end user pool is large here, there are lot of apps used for collecting/organizing coupons or ecoupons.

In most cases I would have some problem with prefix "e" in front of word, but in this case it actually does not hurt much, as ecoupons are a "real thing". Imo string "ecoupons" is something like 25% value of string "coupons", and 5-10% value of string "coupon".

Your name has standard renewal for .app, which is great.

Above info can help us to put more precise appraisal on the name: it is a known fact that string "coupon" was actually registered in EAP2 of .app. This means that buyer paid around 3k just so they can get the name early. In addition, this name has premium renewal around 900/year. This means that initial cost (EAP fee and reg fee) is around 4000 just to get coupon / app.

Ecoupons/ app is much worse of course, but instead of 900 renewal it carries 12-15 renewal at many registrars. This makes it an interesting alternative for a type of end user who do not plan to invest so much as to get coupon / app, but still want to have nice and interesting, self-explanatory domain.

Considering all above, I would see fair resale price between 2k-8k. With low standard renewal It is easy to hold and wait for good offer from ideal end user. I am almost sure it will make very nice profit for you.

PS: make sure your domain is accessible. I was not able to get on its landing page here from EU, and after GDPR your contact details are not present in WHOIS. Therefore it is impossible for buyer to contact you atm.

Hey,
Thanks for the good work.

Kindly review

I am very glad you like the thread

I unfortunately do not appraise/give feedback for .com domain names here - do not own any .com domains, plus I am not interested in them at all, so I do not have sufficient direct experience/ knowledge to feedback responsibly on .com names. Thank you for understanding!

What is the renewal for this one?

The renewal fee is only USD8.9 per year.
