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?

 

[JackChan]

I have 88.al

Did you get any offer yet?

 

[Recons.Com]

No, haven't had any offers for my .al, but they do get steady traffic.
I also have 22.al, 33.al, 44.al, 55.al

 

[UXela]

I have 3G•AL & 4D•AL.
I'll probably put these up for auction here on NP since I'm to lazy to properly promote them and I have others that I have to concentrate on for now...
Or if anybody wants to offer me something nice (e.g. money or other valuable liquid domains :D) let me know.

When did you get those. I have always checked repeated numbers in the past months but those were always taken.

How the traffics per month for per NN domain you receive? I bet you regged this long time ago?

 

[alcy]

any sales in past on nn.al?

 

[alcy]

well
looks loike webhost.al lets you manage contacts on your own
not sure of host.al

About 14 months ago.

I have 34 .al that I registered 14 months ago. the five repeating NN, phone.al and 28 LL.al, including bj.al, cp.al etc.

traffic: probably about 10-15 people a day from 34 names.

nice

do you see a lot of offer or sale action on these?

 

[Recons.Com]

No, haven't promoted the names, haven't had offers, but not in rush.

I like .al. It is suitable for Alabama, US. "AL" means "RED" and "BUY" in turkic languages. "AL" is popular suffix in English and other languages.

And, most importantly, it is cheap, it is well supported.

 

[alcy]

nice.
tnx for info

are you also of believe that 2L domains in every or most extensions have inherent liquidity and value to them... strictly for rarity reasons. I don't means thousands of dollars for each and all, but at least an automatic "above reg fee" value.

 

[alcy]

I just recently decided to diverisfy portfolio a bit with these other country codes. strictly to have short domains. if this was minimum 3 chars I Would not bother.

that being said, I'd be interested in findiing out a list of all available extensions with no restrictions.. like .al .. with min char below 3.

anyone knows such list? I think CX.. GY.. would be on it.

so who wants to add:

AL
GY
CX

 

[JackChan]

If some of large registrar can offer .al such as gd, name, namecheap etc... It much better for this ext.

The only thing I dont like host.al is for new user sign up the form .. It kind confuse on it

No, I don't do any cctld. For example, .GY is not cheap for renewals, as far as I know. The only ones I'd be interested there would be ENER.GY or something, but not LL.GY. Again, depends on renewal as well.

.AL has bunch of upsides that I factored in for my decision 14 months ago (Alabama, registration fees, European tld etc.). But buying LLL.al at this stage would be stretch for me, though )

 

[alcy]

i hear ya
like I said I wouldm't even touch .al and go through all this trouble of addign yet another registrar to my already longer than I want list... if .al was min 3chars.

but it isn't. so I diverisfied portoflio a bit few days ago with a 5pack of 2l.al domains.. nothing fancy. but still my first and maybe even last 2L domains for long time.

always nice to have couple those.

so here I Was thinking that if i researched things a bit, I could find a whole bunch of other country extensions like .al with min 2chars, but given what you said about renewal fees, and other restrictions, I think that .al may well be it for us. about right yeah?

Do you think .al can make some good heat later?

The renewal fee is cheap with coupon from registrar.. So i wouldnt worry in that case. The thing i am worry is whether chinese people will interest in .al or not.

valid point.

but chinese only part world population, and with # people increasing each year that get on internet, I still think 2L domains, have some automatic inherent value to them. due to rarity.

we'll see!

btw do they have new registration coupons too for .al? I am with webhost.al at 12eur per reg. there is 1 or 2 domains I would not mind handregging in .al .. if coupon exist.

 

[JackChan]

At host.al they have 20% off for new reg . Someone posted here on pg1 .. U can check.
