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]

Where is the best place to check full whois detail for .al domain ? I can't find the place that can work with .al .. Any idea? Thanks

I'm looking for it too.

For now i'm doing
https://www.host.al/en/domain/showall

then pick 1 random domain and u will be redirected to:
https://www.host.al/en/domain/domaininfo/dname/[insert domain name].al

Change [insert domain name] and voila. Its the best I have at the moment

Webhost.al got a whois, but its not so good at the moment

 

[UXela]

thats really great news for you

I assume its a chip yes?

good luck

Yes it is a CHIP but also a "no brainer" abbreviation for the industry the buyer is covering.
Anyway, closed negotiation at $4100 - now waiting for escrow to clear.

Awesome sales UXela, good job

 

[UXela]

First I'm waiting for the cash to clear
After that I can call it a sale.

Anyway, yes ... it is good.
I think I could have gotten a bit more.
The domain is really really premium in an industry that is making a lot of money.
Can't post the domain here (buyer's wish not to make the sale public) but I can tell you it is kind of related to toys.

aside from namepro auctions, where do you guys plan to advertize your .al domains for sale?

can you even modify dns host with host.al or webhost.al??? to park them for a sales lander or such...

I highly doubt they can go on sedo/flippa etc..

All my 2L .al is with webhost.al and some of them are listed on Sedo without any problems.

Does webhost.al allow to push and transfer easy? What about you update ownership / registract contacts? Does it easy too?

Because I know on host.al you cant update those contact untill you submit ticket and they do for you. Maybe they are still newbie from system side .. And as well cant auto push .. Unless contact them

Yes, they are identical like host.al

Are they chinese buyer?

host.al is the first registrar of .al domains.
Both of them use whmcs so they should be the same based on the interface

I wish they can allow use to do update registrant / ownership contact and auto push without bother them.

They should, you are right. Probably in the nearest future.

Are they chinese buyer?

Looking at the name yes... looks like China.
He might also buy my 4K
Not sure I'll sell it though - I might be emotionally attached to it :D

 

[youdiezst]

sounds like a good news that China loves this extension as well

 

[UXela]

I'm not really 100% sure this sale (or soon to be sale) is relevant for what you're saying.
I think this buyer plans to have physical presence in the region.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to have offers like this for all my LL.al from Chinese investors but I doubt this sale is relevant for all domains. I think this buyer is a real end-user.
Saying this I'm probably killing liquid value for my domains that I put on auction here but I prefer to be honest about what I'm saying here rather than influence the liquidity with my posts here.

On the other side it is very possible to have these kind of offers for most LL.al from end-users (Chinese or otherwise) because the beauty of 2 letters is that it can mean an infinity of things.

[Later edit] I'm not selling also 4K to him because the maximum he can offer is $1800 and I think I can get more. Or at least I hope so.

 

[youdiezst]

To clarify, I'm not referring that all LL.AL domains are worth $xxxx instantly - its only worth how much the buyer is willing to buy - some higher than other although there is some sort of a floor price purely for its shortness & scarcity of 2 letter domains.

I'm trying to refer that Chinese people don't really mind the .al extension in their portfolio, or in their development plan in your case. So this is a good news. More demand = higher price for the domains.
