What have been your most valuable ngTLDs?

.One names have been good to me. Everything else, like the trouble child.. though to be fair the new G' investing space has a steep learning curve.

.tech is horrible to sell, not even asking.

Really interesting, something that I hadn't heard of before. Do you mind sharing how many you've sold, and some examples?

By this do you mean GoDaddy's domain investment platform? I came across it briefly but haven't heard from anyone that has signed up to it, what are the advantages of doing so?

Sure, to name a few; lighthouse, profit, hyper, emoji, singular, catch, protocol.. Was very happy with the sales for most, except for hyper. It was among my very first .one's sold, let it go for mid-xxx. But that's how it goes, for all I know it would still be sitting on my shelf collecting dust (and renewals).

No it was literal, directly in relation to the new gTLDs themselves. New G' is just a sort of nickname for them, like calling a .com, something in the "king".

Have noticed you digging around the forum with solid questions- keep it up and good luck with your future in domaining.

That's really interesting, doesn't seem anything particular special about those domains when combined with one. Roughly when was this, and do you think there's a reason you found .one so popular? Would you still say it's as popular?

Thank you man, I appreciate that a lot! Unfortunately the activity in this forum - at least for my threads - has always kinda disappointed me, but it's good to see people are still seeing them even if they don't get much answers.

Well .one isn't really "popular"; there leaves a lot to be desired with the quantity and consistency of reported sales. Compared to the relative success of say, the .xyz extension. Though .xyz has had lots of marketing and pricing promos to help move it along.

You are hungry, but understanding new gTLDs can be an acquired taste, if at all. I think there's two types of investors; those driven by data, and those driven by formation- ie. like taking a ball of clay and forming it into a sculpture of sorts. Some buyers will "see" your sculpture the way you did.

I was an early investor in the .one space, thus not attracted by its popularity but rather gravitated towards its potential for formation, and adoption. One just has to look to the sheer amount of entities that use the 'one' keyword as part of their name to justify the potential for the latter. I see value in this extension in that it's easy to use and easy to like.

Plurals are tricky but just about anything else can work with it, combinations don't have to necessarily be a perfect "Number.One". As an example, look at the company Capital One; their name don't really fit into a proper syntax setting, yet as a brand the words fit just fine.

cheers!

I don't think a gTLD is valuable in itself. It is valuable only when combined with the right name

You need to keep us updated with these domains. I'm thinking you'll find something serious in due time.

Just the thread I was looking for.
I have recently started investing in domains and its been really confusing.
I have bought domains like aipower.online and howtoshop.online
It's a learning curve for me but do you think the .online domains are worth it? Specifically, these two?
