question Opinions on .jp domains?

Isn't it a bit like the .dot uk scenario where the .co.uk is far more popular. I think it is the same in japan where it's much harder to get the .co.jp than the far less popular but shorter jp. it's a case of historic usage

discuss How about hyphenated names? Any secrets?

They are still very much in use in Europe, Mostly where companies are looking for clarity/separation between their company name and their business type. ie, 'sharpolf-haulage' or 'stephensons-refrigeration' and the like. Usually only in either the originating Country code or .com. I don't...

discuss How would start off again with $100 today?

hmm, i'd be very wary of entering the domain market today, after almost 20 years. at least a long-time ago you could put in 10 to 20 hours work and be fairly sure you had something, even if the market wasn't quite ready to buy-it. Now we are in the stages that tens of thousands of speculators...

330K .eu doms to be cancelled as UK pulls out of EU

yep, the haulage-business, and anything that is a high-public-profile as a European operation, may be only ones with genuine concern out-there. I always viewed the EU for English words as a domainers mistake. still you know what our Parliament is like, give em something to bite - and blimey...

domain x

If these are all hand-registrations then your on the right mindset. There's a lot to be had on the secondary market but that is a whole different perspective and understanding (plus hours) I agree with you on the free + porn on any of the major extensions (the plural just being overly fringe...

domain x

A lot depends on whether your looking to flip - or be ahead of the market. I always had confidence in my domains but, that was at a time when the market was focusing on 'Exacts' . as that market died mine as what I'd like to call 'terminology' arrived. You have to have patience and confidence...

discuss Crap I just bid on a domain I did not want!!

That's actually a real education as the domaining years go-by. how much North-American spellings differ (usually less lettering) with some really common words. I think the yanks got most right - spell it as it reads. though I still can't get use to the 'Z' where European/Australian English...

news Eric Lyon changes departments at NamePros

I think we all understand Eric, I've certainly thought twice about even simple postings on Namepros when the mindset of the thread starter is clearly not in-balance. be buggered if i'd want to be their editor or membership controller. Too many weirdos out there that think (and act like)...

domain TICKET.ORG

I wasn't impressed either. I just don't see the buyer of ticket.org being on a loser, (or a quick flip). Would I have paid 10k for it ?- No Way but i'm not in the market for buying beyond reg-fee. and its seen me OK

domain TICKET.ORG

well I wouldn't call it a force 'alcy' given the resale value on many charity event tickets - Blimey the market would love a focused site, Yep even allowing for the expediters profit

discuss Why do plurals kill value.

Agree with all the above responses. A plural can often be the preferred domain, particularly if your looking at muti-product supply or division of products. And as mentioned a lot of domain sales are built around a 'Branding' concept and therefore often two-words, so the plural tends to be...

.Biz died the death of .info, It needs to be a Very top notch pairing to gain any sort of recognition in 2018. I took a chance with about a dozen .biz (same with .info) at the time of launch, never sold any,. and just about to drop the last one. I have to agree with the comment that it...

question What would you do if a well known company launches a product in your domain name?

I can only speak from a personal point of view from my own experiences. I registered quite a few 'Touch' prefixed domains back in the early 2000. with an eye to the future Touchscreen market. and as you say quite a few then gained TM's as the products came to market. Again I noted that very...

.eu What is the future of .EU domains?

I strongly appreciate the strength of discussion between you 'Boker' and 'Jmcc' but you following quote of usage had me nearly falling off my chair I don't invest in .EU, maybe as you say Boker, It's because I'm a Brit. but any source reporting usage as you've quoted is just Wrong
