domains Frontier.xyz sold for $9,888 is up and running

[equity78]

Back in July I interviewed Swetha from DNGear.com about her approach and success with .xyz. In August she did not quit and made 3 out of the top 10 new gtld sales for August. Including numbers 2 and 3. Number 2 was Frontier.xyz, the domain name sold for $9,888. The domain is already up and […]

Congratulations to the XYZ Queen @DNGear

She is like Mike Mann of XYZ because she already owns all the single word xyz

And no other TLD operator promotes their extension like XYZ
They are really really active, promoting events, super active on social media and creates a very good buzz giving exposure and confidence to buyer.

And then there is great extensions like .co and .biz and even .top
Greedy operators, instead of promoting, they are busy making every decent domains into registry premium

Try to buy ZQXV in dot co and it will be registry premium. The wholesale price of ZQXV . com will be less than their reg premium

I admire @DNGear her great work, unluckily I found great potentials of .xyz later than her otherwise I would love to stash those single words in belief, but the opportunity is always there and the sunrise is coming, couple years later she will definitely be the most famous queen in domain industry.

Yeah...but you might not know how painful when you picked them up while everyone else were bashing xyz like trash and you needed to keep telling yourself holdadoor... for many years, she deserves for selling them for big bucks.

Not wanting to burst Swetha's bubble. I take my hat off to here. But if she owned every dictionary word, a couple of sales under $10K is not exactly going to make that profitable. But it's a start. But I know she doesn't hold every dictionary word. Because I own at least two of them

Yeah, of course she don’t own all the dictionaries their are many investors own them very quietly(especially some registrars), I guess because they are waiting for the bad rumors pulled through and also there are many efforts depend on the registry’s promotion, but she is the one that achieved amazing sales records.

Yep. I agree that her sales values are impressive, from the two mentioned in this thread. But a swallow doesn't make a summer. I also think that the founder, Daniel Negari's predictions about .xyz's future might actually be coming true, if the registrar's, and others, are holding onto .xyz domains expecting to make a killing. when everyone in the domainer industry, for example, seems to have been predicting .xyz to be dead in the water, and wouldn't survive. For me personally. I kinda like the potential of .xyz despite all the doom and gloom. I could see a future where .xyz could become a mainstream tld, where domains are actually used in commerce. But. And it's a big BUT. Unless my cashflow is positive with my miniscule .xyz investment, I don't see much in the way of making an income in .xyz domains (the domainers view). I drop them after 1 or 2 years when they have had next to zero visitors to the forsale pages. I've not had 1 inquiry about even one .xyz domain.

I agree your point, the other point is, the domain industry has gone through so many years, investors have already known which ones are the value according to historical facts, so it’s pretty much became dead water since they holding the majorities, but in this stage the winners will always be registries themselves it’s like when online stores shopping became thriving many off-line stores and middleman’s will getting harder to be survived, so pretty much they’re unlikely to consider investor’s point of views(I hope they should find a way helping investors). On the other hand, the universe sometimes is fair about things are iteratively generating new thoughts, as in my observations most dictionary word that had been sold are those tend to be more techie/spacial words (moon.xyz, uni.xyz, wwwwww.xyz, etc. for more go to .xyz official site) those new generations are not really interested in those of “stiff” single words, they like words has more creativity and personalized, as I said the winner will always be registry itself.

She makes a lot of sales and she might have bought majority under $1 and an I am sure she is dropping a lot of deadweight.

What is Daneil's prediction?
I think xyz is selling because of his promotions, otherwise how is itbetter than .info or .biz or even .top
I am asking your opinion
It is a 3 syllable tld It is not a very good sounding TLD. It has some value perception because Daniel Negari is promoting it all over the place.
Those who are selling while the market is hot are the smart ones.

Why do you think it will be more mainstream over a .biz or a .net
I am not shitting on it.
If it goes mainstream, for us, it will be another TLD worth trading in, that's all, but personally, I can't see any more value compared to another.

She does well.
But lets not forget she is the only person on np doing so well with xyz... that too says something. I once went here on xyz thread on np and asked who else is having good xyz sales...it was dead silence.

I beg to differ with you about .xyz not being a very good sounding TLD. It's generic and has a uniqueness about it which most of the other NGTLD's don't have. Non-specific, if you like. Which could (possibly) be why the registry, some registrars and investors are holding large stockpiles of dictionary .xyz names. Why else would they do that? I'm not saying they are necessarily right. But it's a pause for thought. Could they be right, or could they be wrong? Overall, I would say the sentiment is rather like your opinion. Of course, one attraction is most premium domain renewals are at regfee. Unlike holding dictionary domains in many other NGTLD's. It has the potential to become second only to .com. But I am not predicting that, because of the negative sentiment around .xyz, to date.

I think .xyz is better sounding than the failing registrars .info and .biz. I don't have an opinion about .top, except I think it is mostly a Chinese phenomenon. Again, because it is non-specific. Open to the widest audience, if it would catch on. The biggest doubt and question mark.

Not sure how you find it good sounding. You can't compre it with other specific NGTLDs. they have their own use. It has to be good sounding to everyone.
Syllables is a big thing in naming domain names, leave alone TLD. Why do people pay a premium for single syllable .coms, .net, .in, .co etc


XYZ competes with .co, .net, and the likes.
Among the NGTLDs, I agree that it is one of the best. The rest are extremely specific.
I was comparing it to older TLDs.

Among the NGTLDs, it is one of the most generic, and even with all the hype and promotion, .top is very close in competition, and .icu is more popular, which is rather strange.

Which could (possibly) be why the registry, some registrars and investors are holding large stockpiles of dictionary .xyz names. Why else would they do that? I'm not saying they are necessarily right. But it's a pause for thought. Could they be right, or could they be wrong?

That is nothing but speculation and it cost $0.69 to register a .xyz so why not?
Even I have about 100 xyzs now just from random search. I am yet to do a bulk search.
And you will notice that for all the XYZs that are taken, all of the other gTLDs I mention are also taken.

I think .xyz is better sounding than the failing registrars .info and .biz. I don't have an opinion about .top, except I think it is mostly a Chinese phenomenon. Again, because it is non-specific. Open to the widest audience, if it would catch on. The biggest doubt and question mark.

I won't say better. Rather they all are in a similar spectrum

I agree that .xyz has non-specific meaning which given much wider usages comparing to other extensions, along their motto, it’s reasonable end in alphabet, its consequence will be it take longer to be successful than the specific ones.
.xyz the major strategy is giving a big promotion which is good, the consequence is it became the taget of many spammers’s favor adoption, on the other hand, in order to conquer this headache they needed to put so much efforts on diminishing them as many as possible which I think they did a good job if you check the statistics in Spamhaus.org compare to other gtlds/ngtlds. In China there is a very successful app called PinDuoDuo (literally in English will be “Put together Many Many”), the app is as hot as Tiktok in China aiming to sell everything very cheap like US version 99 cent stores, all stuffs manufacturing in factories directly because it gathered bulk orders consistently from costumers, at beginning those white collar workers in major cities despised it since it has been given the cheap image to publics, to reverse the situation they stated to sell high end brands cosmetics for very cheap prices( I guess they had some collaborations with brands and suffering the costs for customers) which it works, now all levels are loving to using it, it’s the same analogy that .xyz has been doing.( I hope they can do better).
Premiums strategy, they are not too tight nor too loose, .biz became disaster since it released 2-3 letters words, some people sell them for 1-2k, some were 10-200k, the whole market were rekt because people don’t like market being unstable as that way, that’s why GD started gathering them back as many as possible.
.club .online or some others are too strict locked not only 3 Ls but also dictionary words which I think it’s not good because it led people lose their faith owning them in any chances.

.top .icu no comment...even .tech.
