discuss Are .Net's still worth buying ?

[doofer]

As per the title, would you still buy a .net domain ? Would you consider them as second best choice to a .com or have they lost their significance now that there are so many other extensions ?

 

[WingMan]

They're still worth it. But the bar is higher than for the corresponding .com.

I'm not sure the new g's damaged .net as much as google killing keyword domains for developers. My top sale was a LLL.net

Short and single word still have value in .NET you should focus on quality.

I wondered how .net use in actual websites compares to .com and .org in recent data. Statista has done an analysis (you have to pay, a lot, for the complete analysis). It shows that as of may 2018
.com 46.5%
.org 5.1%
.net 4%
All of the others in the top 10 are cc, with .ru at 4.7%, .de at 3.6% and .uk at 2.2%

I'd buy a solid 1 word .net for the right price

it is good if you are end user and you can't find your preferred .com domain, but if you want to sell, prepare to have the domain in your portfolio for a long time.

I will go as far to say LLLL but needs to be a popular abbreviation (not many) or a word.

 

[Branko Jovanovic]

I would agree with others, .NET domain registration needs to be done carefully and you have to be ready to hold on to it before you find/get a good offer. Currently it is not the "default" replacement for .COM domains, like it was before, as end-users now often opt for their ccTLD.

 

[Premiums]

i even dont check expired .nets
end-users dont like the .net domains

NET's return rate is not high, And seems to be being forgotten by people

I sold a LLL.net last month for $12,500

Wow! That's great. Was it a pronouncable LLL or some acronym? I have a CCV dot net looking to sell. Don't seem to find the right buyer or the domain name is not good enough. Wish I could cash it though.
