.app .APP Registration

[drewwash]

Now that .APP is rolling out I thought I'd share a little of our position in .APP domains. I'd love to know what others are doing.

We budgeted just shy of $100k for .APP domain registrations. Several we've already acquired and several we've missed. I'll update our pickups as I can without giving away our position. So far I will share that we picked up:

• Wedding.app

Trademark Claim
I do have a domain that we registered that has to pass their trademark claim process... it is very generic, not sure who decided to try to call it a trademark, we shall see.

Our Why
To sum it up, Google is our why. I became a domainer back in 2000, when the domain really mattered in SEO. My hunch is that Google won't be able to resist giving some type of preference to quality .APP domain.

Even a small advantage in the SERs or even the Play App Search results, make generic .APP domains valuable.

Yeah I think it was about $5,000 like @wwwweb's Day 2 calculation.

Coinbase stepped up, and got a lot of coinbase related names, crypto app is a great name, and the owner probably wants a great price, which he may never get, but someone probably wants a branded app, most apps like binance, or kucoins aren't even app store listed, you have to trust the certificate internally.

Today we see crypto as crypto, but I tend to believe one day it will just be classified as currency.

Correct, me if I'm wrong but it appears on Godaddy every .app domains comes with free SSL Cert? If, so does anyone know if the SSL cert. costs extra 1 year from now (at same time domains up to renew)?

I got to caution you when it comes to gtld's keep it simple Keyword.Extension, your likelyhood of follow thru sale drops considerably when you add KeywordKeyword.Extension

Got 3 ,if the rest don’t come in ,that’s me done no more for me . Just mainly went for the crypto bitcoin domains but it seems so did everybody else . If my last lot don’t come in am happy with sticking with the 3 I have .

Yeah I wasn't watching Brokerage slip by, and was happy to grab it late with minimal fee/renewal.

I had pre registered brokers.app but failed to secure today.

Well, I have several super premium ____app.com domains. Sold many during the app explosion between 2008-2015 -- all to end-users -- mostly Fortune 100 companies.

Still have about 12 left.
Per .app --- I believe I'll end up with about 5 app domains.

I probably will regret not purchasing crypto,app and office.app

But forge on...

I find many apps using —app.com

 

[Sathyam]

I bought below for $16.99 on Name .com

loanquote.app
doorcam.app

 

[LA Digital]

Wow someone registered selfie.app.

That was 2k with a 2k renewal

 

[LA Digital]

Those who's names are still dropping in which registrar did you use?

I have a few showing pending from Hexonet but are showing 1api as the registrant and my homestate so fingers crossed I got those.

I'm still waiting to see at name.com. Officially, I have 0 confirmed registered as of right now. I may have 1-4 potential registrations. (Whois confirms that name.com got it.)

Well if your registrar got it and you pre regged wouldn't you at worst go to auction if another person also regged the same name?

Don't know with name.com. I guess I'll see.

I got 50% of my pre-regs with name.com. None of them went to auction. I believe it is first-come, first-served basis.
