discuss .AL Extension

[Casey L]

It seems today there has been more auctions for .AL domains than I have seen in my entire time on NamePros. Any particular reason? What are your opinions on the extension?

 

[alcy]

sadly, hack sales in general are not thta common.. narrow that down to the .al ext only and you get.. scarcity.

cheers

I remember this domain was bought for 7K$ initially.

Ringtones.com was purchased for $750K in 2010 and unloaded for $100K in 2015. Ringtone sales peaked in 2007...but still generate over $1 billion dollars annually worldwide. Under your rationale, .com's are falling off.

Far more common than shitty .com sales. Just sayin.

Loc.al did not generate anything between the two sales...

Still have a few .al domains that will be due for renewal rather soon.
Anyone know of any coupons with host.al so that I can save a few bucks? (yes, I would prefer to stay with host.al)

@UXela

Nice hack!

FYI: If you're interested in volume pricing with Host.al:

[me, May 14 2017] What discounts do you offer if I register ten, 20, 100 .al domains or more?
[Host.al support] ... Reseller LVL 2 ... price is 9.99€. 8.99€ for those clients who add a credit equal to 100 domains in the system.

After that I've sent them a list with over 100 domain names and they registered them for me at 8.99 EU. Also, my renewal pricing shows 8.99 EU. Even for ov.al

 

[alcy]

Far more common than sh*tty .com sales. Just sayin.

well you know.. it's not up to us.. we can say or wish all we like.. stats are stats... as it stands now, there is nothing more common than .com sales.. and it doesn't look like it'll ever change. cheers.

 

[alcy]

do they have a transfer deal now from host.al to webhost.al?

 

[Branko Jovanovic]

Hmm I see one of my favorite registrar istanco can register .al domains.
Is it treated like a gTLD with search engines (like .me) since they both are small country and don't have that much of a local market for domains, but can go for western audience if a proper word hack is done?

good .al hacks (ie: the ones worth owning) are long owned by others at this point. they cannot be just regged or done at this point. cheers.

The one thing i love about hacks, specially in cctld's, you have two ways going about selling it, one is the people and business from the country itself plus the whole western market who might look at the domain from a brandable perspective.

Best,
San

I first search for any domain that matches a word both with and without the tld. E.g. accident.al. It's both a hack and not - take your pick.
AL allows for quite a few of these.

things like this are not very valuable and have low chance of finding buyer.
there is a reason it is still not regged.
as I said above, everything that is relaly worth owning, is already long owned.

cheers

AL is still fresh. If the AL popularity will keep rising, even new registrations will have value. And most valuable names that are already owned can probably be acquired at bargain prices.
