discuss Baffled by people against hand reg

[Laguna]

As many of you know, I hand reg all my domains. Most posts I have read are all against it. I am baffled by this as ALL domains were originally hand reg . Your comments and opinions are welcome but NO personal comments about my way of doing things please.

I understand you want to play it safe. I don’t color inside the lines bc that’s what you’re supposed to do therefore it doesn’t interest me. I also don’t think outside the box because the box never really existed.

Envision a sleek looking autonomous pod or capsule . Use your imagination. Autonotronics. Just think about it, or don’t .

dude. ok. lol. In 365 days, I'll be seeing your autono domains in tower. And i'll pass on them.

ur attitude was exactly mine, and everyone's when they started domaining. They ask for advice, then when people who have been on NP for like 2124234 years say "dats bad" I used to just ignore them and think I was right...

It's your money, so... go ahead and get all the autono domains you want, I guess.

you can always prove me wrong by showing me evidence that the abbreviation is starting to be adopted, and I'll always be open to such evidence btw. But from my cursory research, it seems like it's non-existent.

So you could sell it for $30, is that profitable? If I can maybe sell a cake for $30 that costs $1 to make does that mean I should be in the cake business?

well, cakes are not domains. and my gawd everyone buys cakes. If you can make a cake for $1 and mass-produce them for a short period of time, then you're making 30x... sell 100 cakes a day and then wow

man u 2018 guys just don't get it. "as you seem to like research" lol. If you can't understand that what WE are trying to say is that research is NECESSARY for reggae... then don't bother.

That's like if you're trying to sell cars and you say, "as you seem to like to talk to potential buyers."

i see why that other person was yelling at you too. You're just too stubborn to understand lol.

A. If you reggae w/o research, you'll probably not do well for most of your reggae.
B. All good domainers who consistently make sails above xxx do research.

A + B ⇒ You MUST do research if you're going to be a long-term domainer.

Please tell me what's wrong with it then. I'm happy to be educated

It's not that there's somethign wrong. It's just that you guys don't want to listen.

You need patience and the energy and effort and dedication to read through NP threads looking for knowledge. Because hand reggae is something you need to get a feel for.

Start out going through the Reported Domain Sales Thread. Go through each sale looking for the sails that were purchased for hand reggae prices ($1 - $10). Read any information they included as to why it sold. If none is available, then google the domain, google parts of the domain... figure out why it was good.

If you can understand why these domains are good. Then you'll have better insight into hand reggae.

Still didn't answer my question.and what the hell is reggae ?

reggae is registration.
what is your question exaclty

You gave a reply about 2018 guys don't listen and to do research. I did research the above domain and that is why I regged it. Are you saying "space internet" is not relevant in domaining terms ?

 

[Kate]

How about this for a hand reg.
Yes it's 3 words but....

GlobalSpaceInternet .com

Elon musk space internet

globalinternetspace.com is available for regfee and it rolls off the tongue better.
internetglobalspace.com is free too.
And then you can surely find other names with keyword substitution.

hosterstats.com does not have any history, probably this name has never been registered in the past, which usually is a bad sign.

It's easy to make up good domain names by combining two keywords together. This is the sweet spot.
With 3 words it is quite more difficult. Not only does it make the name longer and less desirable/memorable, the number of possible alternatives also increases exponentially.

One rule of thumb is that people are not going to buy your domains, if they can find alternatives of similar or better quality available for regfee. Nobody likes to pay a premium for a domain name, so they really need a compelling reason for buying from a domainer. This kind of handreg is not stuff that is in demand.

I hear and appreciate what your saying Kate. As regards to hosterstats not having any history, this is not for now, it's for the future because it's coming

 

[Kate]

What is coming ? What was your thought process when you bought this domain ?

Don't bother replying to him. I realize now that he's been trolling everyone. Very smart troll though.

How am I trolling ?
You all tell me to research and do homework before hand regging. I've done my research on that name. Now I suggest you do yours before coming back with ridiculous comments

And how does any of that make your domain name desirable or even relevant ?
This is not what we call research, there is no correlation between what you're reading in the newspapers and your domain name.

In case you did not notice - Elon buys stuff like tesla.com or X.com for millions, he doesn't buy 3-word domains.
IMO this name is too long and awkward, and not suitable for building a strong brand.

Another bit of advice: pick your industries/niches carefully. There are not many companies launching satellites or building rocket launchers. It is a tiny, specialized industry with a very small pool of end users.
Personally, I also recommend that people first stick to niches they are familiar with, and buy names for which they could be the end user.

I guarantee you that if I were an end user in that realm, I would find a better handreg easily, or if I really want a great name and I have a budget of $,$$$ to spend then I would purchase a shorter and more brandable domain at some venue. There is plenty of choice.

Everybody can handreg, but not everybody can do good reggae

Notice the 3 word sales, or lack of.
Yes people are judgemental on hand registrations. I do it every day.
Some names been on my list for months, and most were reggae in the past.
There is plenty of 2 word .com unregistered if you know how to find them.
It is not easy selling names especially when your 10 years to late, unless you got a wad of cash.
Have you watched all the old www.domainsherpa.com videos?
Lots of info there. I havent watched since Cyger left.

I read the whole thing, I see someone spending lots of time starting threads, and getting involved when topic is on their side, or offended when its against, enjoying the debate of comments in between while doing everything to justify being about 5-10 years so ahead of the curve that they wont be able to survive the rereg fees come that time, the few that are worth anything will be a nice drop catch for the veteran who survived the slow game to profit.

that being said, I hand reg almost everything. I speak from experience as im not far off from failure as you, but time will tell, im learning the hard lessons as fast as I can, I hope you wake up also , good luck to us.
