    Noob mistake

    Hi Guys, I'm very new to domaining, and got a bit over excited over the last couple of weeks and hand registered about 30 domain names. Now that I have calmed down and done some reading it's clear that I have made a classic school boy error. I can afford to lose the money if I have registered...

    "Bad karma to pass your bad choices onto someone else." Interesting statement, I am not going to force them on anyone, and have already resigned myself to losing money on these. If someone wanted to buy one, I should turn them down because of bad karma? I think I would sell it and count myself...

    dot co confusion.

    Hello, I wonder if anyone could help clear up some confusion about .co domains for me. I have read that they are now supposed to represent company instead of Columbia, but I still see people referring to them for use in Columbia only, and many dismiss their use for anything commercial because...

    Hi Kuffy, Thanks for the offer, I have some time before I have to sell anything, will be mid july before my 60 days are up.

    They are cheap for a reason I suppose, I will get another account for the next domains I buy. I'll transfer my favourite ones for practice. GoDaddy seems popular.

    Thanks for the quick response Kuffy, I registered them with 1and1, I wont be able to sell them for another month or so because of the 60 day thing. I'm happy to share some of the names here, wasn't sure if that was aloud or not, here are a few I think were mistakes. alarmfitters.com...

    Thanks 1Darko, I knew appraisal sites can wildly over value, I think I will keep this one a while then and choose a different name for my site. Thanks again, very helpful. Fin

    dot co confusion.

    So it's officially a country code extension for Columbia, but used globally for business, makes it kind of a mixed up extension in my mind. I do like it though, very short, and the co reminds me of a company first and foremost. I took a punt on a few .co domains and am glad I only bought a...

    dot co confusion.

    Thanks for that, I'm still a little unsure of what .co is supposed to be officially? My understanding was that a new extension for Columbia was created, and .co was then re branded in a sense to represent company, just like .com represents commercial. Correct me if I am wrong please. If this...

    @1Darko Yes I need to see about that 1and1 issue, and you are correct, all of these are registered for one year. Thanks for the welcome!

    Hello guys, anyone like to appraise this for me? Much thanks, Fin

    hinkl dot com To me it seems like it isn't worth much I paid reg fee and was going to use it myself, but after a big appraisal like that, I am wondering if I am missing something. Googling it revealed it is a surname, even though I don't recognise it as a word. Thanks Fin

    I'm not sure if that comment was supposed to be patronising, or if you are making a point about using appraisal values to instil belief in the value of a name. I understand that people new to this hobby might be tempted to take a punt on something, if a domain appraisal site deems something to...

    Hi guys, I know nobody takes these free appraisal sites seriously, but if one was to throw out a value like this, does that mean there is some value in that name? Or can they kick out numbers like this for worthless names too? Thanks, Fin

    domain EmotiveAdvertising (com)

    dot co confusion.

    Thanks guys, it's not nice to hear but you have probably saved me money on renewals there. It's good watching the back and fourth, am hoping some of this knowledge rubs off lol I find it difficult to judge value, even after a couple months reading, I still do not know why some names sell for so...

    dot co confusion.

    Thanks Promo, that cleared everything up for me, so probably not a good extension to buy, live and learn. Some of the information I had was probably old, so I am playing catch up. Cheers, Fin

    dot co confusion.

    Thanks Petra, I was hoping that was the case, but I have been reading some negative stuff lately and wondered if I had made a bad decision buying dot co domains. If the extension is still growing maybe I should hold on to them for a while.

    I was worried I had stumbled onto a TM, but I think it's ok. Thanks for your help!
