What domain will you be kicking yourself for not buying 5 years from now?
We can all sit around and see the obvious (in hindsight) value of the 1994-1998 one word domain registrations. We can wonder how lucky it was to get Free one word .com registrations in the early 90's and what kind of value that would bring to everyday bills.
The truth is the people that registered those names saw value where others didn't and were smart enough to take advantage.
Now what domain reg or purchase available today will make new domainers in 2022 say, "you had it so easy, there were so many _____________dot_________ availabable!"
The truth is we don't know for sure. It will take a few different strategies, most likely excellent .com domains will continue to rise in value. Investing in strong names with low $9 renewal costs is safer than buying 40 new gTLD that renew at high prices.
So from the new gTLD's it will most likely be ones that get to scale and have a low enough renewal cost to keep mindshare.
Would any of you disagree that
1) Short numeric .com will keep growing in value
2) Short LLL and LLLL will keep growing in value
3) One word .com names will keep growing in value
But where is the less obvious investment?
