a few days ago I learned there is a TLD called .run.

what is this good for? Who needs a .run? What does this even mean?

there are many of these, we don't even know that they exist, no one does.

Hilarious yes we don't need a .run nor do we need .christmas or .feedback ... But there are extensions that do fit or assist in the industry

.surgery ?

.surgery ?

Hmmm ... How should I take that ?

I made a reasonably simple statement and you took that statement to offend me ... I own one .surgery and still to this day, I get questions about that name constantly ... No buyers ... But nonetheless, serious enquiries ! matching left keywords to the right of the dot is what is important in investing the unknown ...
Take my other examples, easy.credit ... I've been told by hardcore TLD investors that the name is a golden goose

More so however, extensions like .TV to name one are an important piece of internet marketing and television marketing in general ... There are many other extensions that will prove an advantage in the internet world, however if you want to have that conversation, message me privately !

For a com portfolio, the turnover is 1% per year. @Fancy.domains has 6% with ngtlds.

This says it all.

great logic...

King Mswati of Swazilend has a personal net worth of around $200 mln
Average american's net worth is somewhere below $200,000
This says it all... Swazilend is way wealthier than US

The explanation is that one word domains at $2000 are a great bargain.

1% is the average turnover rate. Tell me the average nGTLD turnover rate. No one knows but looking at Namebio you see much less nGTLD sales than .com even when considering that we have more .com, so on average nGTLDs are less likely to sell.

Turnover depends on many factors. One of the reasons for low turnover is price. I think fancy.domains listed names for very low prices. If he had listed the same combos in .com for $xxx he would get much higher turnover rates obviously. That is because demand for .com is much higher.

Low turnover is not always a bad thing, some intend to keep the turnover low so that they never run out of inventory during their lifetime.

Not if you can only sell them for $500.

nGTLDs aren't one word domains usually except when you have a name like word.xyz or word.gdn. Usually they are 2 word combos like heart.surgery, heart.surgery is not the same as heart.com or surgery.com

1 word domains could be always had for regfee, see .ws or .fm, .cx etc.

Thanks for sharing a good information.

That's the biggest 'upcoming delete' figure I've seen Akilina - Must have had some sort of promotion just over a year ago as they had a massive spike just over a year ago - looks like most of it is falling off - as will happen with a lot of these new registries:

Dramatic drops have happened in extensions, .tel for example

.name has not been doing well either:

Source: registrarstats.com

.name
.red
.tel
.feedback
.christmas

You guys are the best ! Listing the absolute worst examples of GTLDs
We should get .horse in there, someone want to check on that extension as well ? But again seriously does anyone own any name in the extension above ?

If you own,

Domain.Name "that's a good one"

cheers to the GTLD investors who are investing the extensions not shown above

Lol, they are trying their best to persuade us that new gTLDs are dying (including posting nice photos of tombs for new gTLD program in some threads), but I guess most people (aka 'newbies' as they say), are not persuaded, anyway, which is good

Btw, I have 1 name in .name, which is Fantasy.Name, and I like it very much

And what about the 'best' gTLDs then ? How are they performing for you ?

I mentioned 'old' extensions purposefully. You can check the others, they have all been stagnating, declining in absolute or relative terms. You can see how well they mature with age.
I can guarantee that there are few real end users behind those 6 million .xyz registrations
The numbers are inflated, manipulated, fake. They can only drop or be sustained through treachery. And .xyz and its siblings will remain fake extensions

If the value Magazine.store at 250K, then how much they would value Webhosting.store( which I own)?)

About minus 250 usd if you keep it for 10 years.

'upcoming deletes' across all the ntlds jumped to 7.88% today - see ntldstats.com - looks like very few ntld domains are being renewed - better get the 1 cent offers going again.

.top - 285,000

New gTLDs haters - Enjoy!

Performing I don't sell my own names, not GTLDs because I am not foolish enough to suspect they will procure a worthy investment today or even tomorrow ...

Heard Casino.Online sold for $201,250 ... I am sure the investment performed beyond expectations for the owner !

PS - I don't believe .xyz is the best performing GTLD ...

Best wishes

The nice thing about domain investing is that you can theoretically sell 0.5% of your portfolio annually and still generate positive cash flow IF you sell that one domain at a high enough price. Keyword availability is generally much easier in alternative extensions. The challenge is generating a high enough sales ratio and average sales price to offset renewals. Whether you hold .COM or any extension, end users are quite often reluctant to pay for aftermarket domains. I believe today I saw an end user with a five-word .COM with a hyphen in the middle - looked awful. There are a few domainers generating positive cash flow with new extensions and there are certainly some .COM portfolios not doing so well. If I were making solid .Net and .TV sales every week I would probably be more open to buying other extensions. But I have been in this industry many years and despite many reported sales I have seen no personal evidence that alternative extension domains are a good investment at a portfolio level.

that is so true. Right to the heart of this discussion, though the cult following will take no notice because this time its different; but slowly they disappear and are never seen again.
All the long term investors here think the same fools gold and thats why they have survived and prospered.

There's a slight increase in the number of responding websites but I won't know until later tomorrow or Monday if that has translated in the active websites. The record for Chinese websites in new gTLDs is not good.

I considered ICANN's projections to be the height of folly because the market had shifted when they were not paying attention and they were focused on pre-2010 demand levels.

The way things are going, investors should be considering ccTLDs including .US ccTLD.

Well I've got the data moreso than most domainers.

Thanks for bringing real data to the table.
Keep in mind few New "G"s have approval in China thus few build outs, and the ones that do have approval just got approved.
Cheers
