.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.

Possibly my final .APP domains...

• Carriers.app
• Transporter.app
• Socially.app
• Listings.app
• Landlord.app
• Warehouse.app
• CarShipping.app
• AutoRepair.app
• Heavyduty.com

You registered these names when domains like tidy.app were available for reg fee, I don’t get it, car shipping app? Warehouse app? You are paying $1xx for those registrations, you could have got them at reg fee, if not, you would not have lost out.

You play your game I'll play mine.

We already have revenue streams in related industries. These are specifically to let us expand.

We don't do the $20 savings thing. We buy at what we value at... not what we might be able to get away with.

I got one with 15$ renewal. Not sure how is the name but I like it. May be it can be popular for any games as it is popular type I think. There are too many games relevant to it. Like king queen troops etc.

heir.app

I regged it. May be it will sell or it may remain unsold. But I can hold it as it's only 15$ renewal.

Thanks for sharing your reggs! Don't feed the trolls... or the troll in this case .

Just one for now, & reg'd yesterday for a reasonable price. Renewal around $20..

DLT.app

Is that a nice way of saying I hate your reg’s?

You can tell the truth, this isn’t a Sesame Street forum, sometimes people need to hear it.

Don’t you have a backbone? Are you scared of the truth? Maybe you don’t speak of experience of owning good keyword app domains, did you say menu app

Maybe we should just appraise our own threads like you, much easier, right mister 5 figures, that way we don’t have the face the truth.

When you are registering domains like carshipping.app on eap, you clearly don’t know what your doing.

What no smug remark, wonder why in the whole app revolution carshippingapp.com was never registered for $8, but .com is dead right? Clearly this person just justified they have no idea what they are doing when they are paying hundreds for terms nobody would register for a simple $8 reg fee, or even $1 fasthosts promo.

Your welcome In advance!

Your welcome In advance!

Maybe your right, maybe your wrong.*

I'm encouraging people to share their .app domains. Your 'truth' that you seem to be all too willing to shove down people's throats might stop people from sharing their .app domains... But I'm interested to see them so I'm leaving my appraisals for the appraisals forum where they belong.

*You're

 

[drewwash]

if not, you would not have lost out.

How do you know this? Can you see in the future?

I'm not letting like $80 prevent me from getting a domain that I want.

I know the car shipping Industry. It is a primary industry of mine and I value CarShipping.app at the value I paid.

I agree that you are trolling. I don't answer to engage, but in hopes of explaining so others can learn.

No one learns from someone sharing their opinion. They learn through facts and experience.

Your experience says it is a pointless buy. My experience, expertise and plans for the domain say buy it.

I'm guessing we are both right. It would be pointless for you to buy it. AND it is correct for me to buy it. So POOF capitalism at work.

DLT (.app)
Brokerage (.app)

Total cost for both (EAP fee + Reg/Renewal x2) = ~$300 = Not mad about it..

$100k for these names?

 

[Jonathan MacDermid]

I'm just counting down the hours until general release. Have made 5 pre-orders that I think I can develop and all bar one I think will not be picked up at EAP.

If like drewwash says, he is going to develop these names and has experience in the industries involved, the value is his to decide. He is looking at them as an end user and not an investor.

You know the car shopping space, you mean auto transport business, thus you choose to pay $1xx for carshipping.app, but left carshippingapp.com unregistered for a fraction of the cost?

I would say you are gambling, I am at least educating.

I started registering app domains in 2008, many of app domains you drool over now, I either own, or have sold. This market cooled in 2015.

People who I know that know their industry tend to go for the best when it comes to names, guys that don’t know what they are doing register domains like the ones you listed. Like you said, maybe we are both right.

If you have a $100k budget, and are registering domains like that, you are not being honest with yourself.

When it comes to app development, domains do not carry the same weight as the actual function, and engineering of the application.

You can have a killer domain, but have a crappy app, ie) color.com

This company threw tens of millions of dollars into there app, but it was deemed a failure. They purchased color.com, the founders had amazing past pedigree, which helped them raise a lot of money, but in the end their app sucked, and nobody used it.

What does it means?
I've asked if with $100k he has only bought those names and you reply (are you drewwash?) that he is an end user and not an investor.
I don't see any sense.

Apologies, I picked up your post as though your were surprised if he paid that amount. I now see it was just a simple question

My point holds though as I think some people may be surprised by the value so I was just pointing out that he states he will be using the names as part of their business structure so what he pays as an end user should not indicate the value to an investor.

I preregistered phd.app with GD but lost it, just got a mail from them

Was it from yay.com, many people have been seeing their .app gets sniped from
Yay.com, not sure if it has any meaning, but it is more than a coincidence now.

When I was searching for .app pre registration on google, yay.com came up quite prominently so I think that is why they will be one of the sites a lot os users are going through hence the large number of apparent snipes.

They also state on their site "Our proven technologies can secure 99.6%of domains on launch!"
