discuss $RICH!! Online, Top, only Com. Oh No!!

[HotKey]

Here you go, fear-mongers, peddlers, used car salesmen and attention-seekers: This thread is just for you!

Yes, you! You know who you are.. peddling your crap, injecting your agenda into every post or thread whenever possible, or showing up here every few months pretending to contribute to the domain investing community.

What about you too? The one's whom title threads with WARNING! etc etc only it turns out to be an inconsequential event that didn't turn out in your favor, thus by golly you better warn us all!

And of course, let's not forget about how .com is DEAD and the next big one is right around the corner..

My special little headliners, I repeat: This thread is just for you! Use it well and quit wasting our time with your silly crap elsewhere, because guess what?

~ WE SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU ~

examples welcome:

"Only .com! (because that's all I own)"
".Top is Top (I will keep posting it even though I just did)"
"Did you get rich? (oh wait, neither did I)"
"Thousands .Online (I'm not a hoarder but everyone else is)"
"Warning Warning (something didn't turn out in my favour)"
".com is DEAD! (and I have proof )"

Get to it! Let's poop on each others BS!

Now Houston.online is a decent name, Rich. Well done. I would focus acquisitions on names of that strength in order to improve your chances of profiting from these investments.

Houston isn't a destination for most people, but you would be amazed at some of the "destination" .online domains we own. Thanks for the compliment

 

[bmugford]

I'm sorry for you too that you own "exactly zero .online names", especially when you consider the risk vs. reward potential for a name like Houston.online when records show that Houston.com sold for $17,000.

Houston.com is easily worth six figures or more. I would offer six figures myself for it.
I am not sure where you are getting your data that the .COM sold for $17,000.

I see Houston.info sold for $17,000. That is more than likely what you are referring to.

Houston.online would be a solid domain, but you don't own it.

Like usual, anything good is withheld by the registry...

I didn't say i own it and you're right about Houston.info...that's the domain that sold for $17,000. Now to show you just how fu*cked up this industry is, follow this;

Houston.com is or sale for God only knows how much?
VisitHouston.com sold according to GD for > $25,000 and whoever bought it has built a a great looking website behind it.
Houston.info according to GD sold for $17,000. It isn't for sale and leads to nowhere
Houston.online appears to be owned by Hostens.com, a hosting company in Vilnius, Lithuania. At least that's where the domain Houston.online leads.
Here's what's real interesting;
VisitHouston.online is available to buy for .99 cents, but i didn't buy it. Why?....not only do I own some "destination" .online domains like StKitts, BarHarbor and JerseyShore, I own about 20 domains like VisitOrlando, VisitBoston.online and VisitMaui.online. From the looks of the VisitHouston.com site (check it out), it appears domains like I own may have more than a little value

Seriously Brad....i understand names and I understand business principles. Thanks for following me and adding value

 

[Recons.Com]

I would rather pay $5500 for Houstonians.com, which I have paid for, than pay $1 for visithouston.online

lol...that's your opinion and your opinion only. However you have an obvious .com bias whereas I have an obvious .online bias

NamesCon.Online is happening again this year. How cool is it that the largest domain/name conference in the world is promoting itself as NamesCon.online. I wonder if that's because the conference is online

The whole premise is that Namescon partner with other companies to make money. Radix, owner of .online is one of their partners and their main new gtld is .online. I think we know why they've chosen to host it on .online...

Call me sherlock.

What do you guys think of BookDoctor.Online?

 

[ThatNameGuy]

What do you guys think of BookDoctor.Online?

I'd own it in a heartbeat and here are a few reasons why;

1. the .com equivalent has been hoarded and parked for over 20 years - check Hoster Stats
2. GD values the .com equivalent @ $4,900
3. .online is the fastest growing new gTLD in the world
4. Doctor appointments are being "booked" more and more "online"
5. Risk vs. Reward for this domain at .99 cents is off the charts
6. .online is the new .com

Good Luck! - TruthLives.online

Unfortunately, .online names are a bad investment in general, but if you're going to buy them you should focus on only strong single word names in order to maximize your chances of selling.

Before investing in any new gTLD name, I would check to see that most or all matching major extensions are both owned and developed. At least that way you're giving yourself the best chance of owning one of the best remaining available choices of a popular term.

It would have been cool if your customers were attendants of the conference. However, the customers are normally entrepreneurs, business owners, management in other industries (at least 99% of them) and they have never heard of namescon and have no clue what extension they use for marketing purposes.

 

[HotKey]

What do you guys think of BookDoctor.Online?

You've got the right idea, but if going that route may as well go semantically correct: BookADoctor.online, and take the dot-com too.

Online bookings for healthcare and virtual appointments are quite common right now, so the domain fits the times.

What's really cool is my customers are entrepreneurs like me, and when I share with them the .online story as compared to the DYING .com story they'll actually believe the TRUTH Stay tuned....i'm not going anywhere much to your chagrin

HotKey....you're right, but BookADoctor.com has been hoarded now for over 20 years and it's neither in use or for sale thus it's a moot point. Besides, if you're looking to book a doctor virtually, the .online extension is actually better than the .com

 

[bmugford]

What do you guys think of BookDoctor.Online?

Not good.

Even in .COM it is really not that good.

On top of being grammatically incorrect, you don't really "book" a doctor. You might find a doctor, see a doctor, etc.

You should be careful who you take advice from.

I would make sure the person actually had success in the domain field, and not someone who has to point to unrelated, irrelevant business accomplishments from decades ago.

That is just the blind leading the blind.

The whole string;
BookADoctorOnline.com is avail, and looks more professional than "book doctor" which looks spammy.. and who wants that when it comes to one's health..

Book Doctor sounds more like a company that fixes books, than a website to find a doctor.

In .com it might have some brand value. In any other extension it is worthless.

Brad

 

[NickB]

Don't know how it works in the States but in the UK you book an appointment to see a doctor

You don't book a doctor - I think a lot of doctor's would get quite offended after years of studying they think you can just book them like a taxi........

You consult with a doctor - big difference in language and perception.......

lol Brad........you actually "book" appointments. You forget, I started and named Acsel.org so I'm sure I know a little more about the medical profession than you'll ever know Regardless...the .com isn't available...it rarely is, and even if it were, it's rarely affordable

 

[HotKey]

Big difference in pay grade, but the fundamentals are the same. You'd be surprised here in CA. I had my first virtual appt ever about a month ago, it was literally, book an appointment with your doctor. But I get what you mean, wording matters.
My doc actually apologized to me for having to go that route.

I've had a virtual one with mine as well - no apologies, just business as usual - must be a British thing

But the same process was in place - you book the appointment, nowhere does it say book your doctor......

Book Doctor looks and sounds unprofessional - probably why the .com remains unsold, not for the reasons the OP mentioned.....

Hehe.. oh definitely, you Brits say it like it is, we Cads apologize for apologizing.. drives me nuts actually, till realized I do it too.

Well what the h** is the difference?? Sorry. :P

Thanks. Bought it at Dynadot aftermarket. If you don't mind me asking, how much do you think it's worth?

I started and named Acsel.org so I'm sure I know a little more about the medical profession than you'll ever know.

As expected....
