.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.

It doesn't matter. Afternic and Sedo will support it in future. But the matter is who will purchase?

 

[Galaxy Traveller]

I wonder what porn.app or gamble.app could go for..

Pornapp high search
Gambleapp low search

Hello,
Nice to read about .app was looking for quite a bit domains myself in fact but the EAP seemed very high on various domains which didn't make sense unless I had something going with them.

tried to look out for Billing.app and almost decided to buy and bam it was gone i think the renewal was almost 250US$ but the EAP was 1200 roughly I feel it was one of the best .app because many apps want to generate money out of apps.

also had interest with Hive.app (since I own hive.me) and wanted to use it for our future project but the EAP was way too high to get it almost 1200

we have created a small billing site for our company and it has really turned out nice and wish to market it in public thought it would be a perfect match but I guess as speculation went around for .app it got taken before we could add it to the cart.

it was really funny to read about dieting.app the guy who posted it here initially or talked about it was a pure genius, always remember to keep things to your self until they are in your hands it can not only make you a better person by being patient but a wealthy person too

anyways good luck to everyone.app

Sir. i have started domaining just 30 days ago and i thought its registered on my name already and didnt knew that pre registration is on chance.so it was genuine misunderstanding.
Thanks for your troll BTW

I am about to pull the trigger on couple of .app domains. Sort of calculated risk.

I am about to preregister these at name.com. Can anyone confirm if the SSL is included in their preregistration fee of $14.99, because in GD it is.

TIA.

Dear Rizwan,
Welcome to Domaining it is a great place no matter you're a domainer or self-employed who wish to grab niches to his/her business. we all make mistakes so please don't get me wrong, we are all here for speaking our mind and helping others that is one of the reasons I spoke about it

No matter which industry you join ( IT or not IT related ) there is a rule to have some things to your self only, which can make you ahead of others even though there are plenty who think like us or better than us but we need to be calm and understand the market before we speak what is of our interest. Being a newbie it just gives your creativeness to others for free that's all, anyways i am always here to help you and you or anyone just drop me a line.

Stay blessed and hope you make it big in domaining

Thanks

Shahid

EAP is what most of your are 'concerned' about -- after that, the reg/renewal is only around $20..

Not bad, and I hate/love to say it, but I quite like the progress/potential of this particular nGTLD.

What is the chepest place to pre register .app?
Is it name.com?

 

[LamsuanlunT]

I pre registered a .app and hoping to get it when it goes live tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

 

[JamieHines]

What time will .app go live? Or will they try to siphon more money out of people half the day? I live on the east coast. P.S. I always hated the word LIVE. It might as well be a Spanish word that means 30 different things. Oh well.

Seems to me that name.com was the cheapest that I saw.
