.app .APP Registration

drewwash · May 3, 2018

Now that .APP is rolling out I thought I'd share a little of our position in .APP domains. I'd love to know what others are doing.

We budgeted just shy of $100k for .APP domain registrations. Several we've already acquired and several we've missed. I'll update our pickups as I can without giving away our position. So far I will share that we picked up:

Wedding.app

Trademark Claim
I do have a domain that we registered that has to pass their trademark claim process... it is very generic, not sure who decided to try to call it a trademark, we shall see.

Our Why
To sum it up, Google is our why. I became a domainer back in 2000, when the domain really mattered in SEO. My hunch is that Google won't be able to resist giving some type of preference to quality .APP domain.

Even a small advantage in the SERs or even the Play App Search results, make generic .APP domains valuable.

Managed to pre-reg all those, but I really didn't expect to land most of them. Just got an email from Name.com that they were purchased.

Kate · May 8, 2018

Must be funny how many of those names have the .com counterpart unregistered...

LA Digital · May 8, 2018

I'll write you a 4 figure check minimum per name for the .com counterpart to anything I registered for .app. Most are 6-7 figures for the .com

@Nat Hunt . Whats the latest update from the guy from Google

nametrekker · May 8, 2018

Well, I have several super premium ____app.com domains. Sold many during the app explosion between 2008-2015 -- all to end-users -- mostly Fortune 100 companies.

Still have about 12 left.
Per .app --- I believe I'll end up with about 5 app domains.

I probably will regret not purchasing crypto,app and office.app

But forge on...

altcoin.app went on 5/6 virtualreality.app on 5/4 so looks like the registrar screwed up and didn't let you know you weren't in the running for those. hopefully that didn't change any of your strategy with other names.

I believe he's about to give a talk about .app at Google I/O in 40 minutes. Maybe someone can post the livestream link if they know it.

I am hopeful to have gotten 1 of this list. I'll let you know if I did... still not sure. I also tried for 4x4, but didn't get it.

I think you have inside knowledge what is up, like you I noticed a strong uptick from 2011-2015 then we fell off the cliff, with a odd one selling thru, but not with the same volume.

I don’t think we are going to see a strong as aftermarket with these as people need to get huge returns for eap purchases, and then you still have to address premium renewals.

Crypto seems to be on everyone’s radar, I would guess it would be a day 1 or 2 eap without checking.

How much did crypto•app go for, anyone know?

Well if it was a Day 1 EAP purchase it would be $12000 + $2200 annual renewal = $14200

If Day 2 EAP purchase then $3000 + $2200 annual renewal = $5200

So best case scenario $5000, and worst case scenario $14000

I don't think it would have made it to day 3 at $1100 EAP

At one point I purchased it for $19.88 on day one of pre-registrations on uniregistry error and they cancelled it

Coinbase stepped up, and got a lot of coinbase related names, crypto app is a great name, and the owner probably wants a great price, which he may never get, but someone probably wants a branded app, most apps like binance, or kucoins aren't even app store listed, you have to trust the certificate internally.

Today we see crypto as crypto, but I tend to believe one day it will just be classified as currency.

Daniel Owens · May 8, 2018

Correct, me if I'm wrong but it appears on Godaddy every .app domains comes with free SSL Cert? If, so does anyone know if the SSL cert. costs extra 1 year from now (at same time domains up to renew)?

I got to caution you when it comes to gtld's keep it simple Keyword.Extension, your likelyhood of follow thru sale drops considerably when you add KeywordKeyword.Extension
