domain 1.nr - the ultimative Number One domain, real 1-char

[mobilespecialists]

I registered this domain and I really love it

1.nr

It is a real 1-char short. Only this makes it a value. It is also a "1".
But whats most unique is that the meaning of "NR" can be number. In several countries in Europe this is the most common notation.
So the meaning of the domain is "Number One" or "One Number" - both great combinations, easy to remember. NR is also abbreviation for New Radio technology.

I think it is the best 1-char I ever had, even better than i.nf or g.gl . But renewal is 500$/year so this domain is rather something for the end-user. I even do not know if to sell it, since I consider it so cool, but would like to know what you think of the value

Alternatively I'm thinking if it would not be cool to have an email like [email protected] with your initials - a really short short e-mail, and if this is not a good business idea to sell such stuff?

Any ideas on this?

I thought 1.NR = Number One and its a great asset but reactions here seem a little sparing

.nr is a country level domain name, so it is not as great as you might be thinking. CCTLDs have some restrictions and limitations of their respective governments.

Well, of course. In deed all kind of domains I know have at least some limitations. In case of .NR there is a zero-tolerance for pornography. But I think this does not fall much into value account. It is a great domain for sports, music-charts or for cool e-mail addresses - a reason I still considering to keep it for me

Is 100k a realistic figure? Or rather 10k? 1k? 100$?
What do You say folks?

If u look at namebio sales results for the keyword "1":

$120-$182k

There is no way of knowing til u have interest in it. I would lean somewhere closer to the $182k but not a guarantee.

using dot com with 3 words with hyphens and a number is not smart for selling 1 number or 1 letter domains

That's a hefty renewal, so the carrying costs would quickly add up if looking at this as an investment. I agree with you would be great to quickly unload it to an end user buyer. The .nr extension isn't too well known though, is it? Really haven't come across it myself anywhere.

Did not know about "nr" being seen as "number 1" or even just "number", if it works in Europe then there's your target, but having two letter acronyms for that particular word is a challenge if looking towards the West.

Couldn't place a value to this domain, to me it's like pick a number any number really, and good luck with it. Previous sales for "1" range anywhere in the xxx to 5-figures, with better ccTLD fits and cheaper renewals.

All in all, great little single-character for personal use, not resale, imo.

Are you actually ready to keep it for a few years with such a renewal?

I'm not really a domain specialist so I want call any value here. However I did some research on those nice numbers lately. There are few positive and negative things about it.

Negative first:
- there is small chance to make some money on advertisment as the keyword, if it'd be like 1 apple - maybe someone would pay for the commercial, but there needs to be some product You describe. Which is missing about 1.nr
- 1 is called a function word within the search results. It will be ignored by Google, not always but in most cases. Same as above - You'd have to assign some logical construction to make it work.
- there are some domains like one.com that are doing very well, but mostly such domains stay empty. Like two.com is not available. It's just changing owners like some trading product. Maybe in few years someone will buy it. And 1.nr is a lot lower, not a surprise.

Positive:
- competition between numbers is low. You could actually make Your way within search engines on something close for little money - like for example twoo.com did. And that would be some way of promotion for Your 1.nr. But then You could buy some nice .com close to the number's "name" for probably same money as You pay. Or even less.
- it's always something for the only number one. Maybe some pop star feels good about such .
- if it's about pop stars - few weeks ago I've seen ladyga.ga for like six hundred. Should be still available if You feel like paying so high fees.
Anyway - good luck with that one.

I have some ideas that require a very short domain, so if I could develop a commercial use then I wuold be ready to pay this high renewal, because the domain looks special to me. Maybe because I speak Polish and German language and for me "nr" is just "number"

From a pure domaining perspective this of course is a big price to keep it long

Yeah, that would be great but how do You come to get attention of a pop-star - a Top100 charts website maybe would be the right "landingpage"

The cool thing is "number one" is so mega-generic that one even can not imagine what all uses such a domain could have
