domain BIG SHOT POLL: DOES .COM OR .XYZ HAVE MORE APPEAL? - metaversebigshot.com/.xyz

[WNC HOLDINGS]

Here's a poll for you! We're looking to positively contribute to the debate over whether .COM is more appealing than the rising star that is .XYZ. Chime in by voting on whether the .com or .xyz version of the MetaverseBigShot domain carries more overall appeal "in presentation". (Graphics attached for your voting consideration.)

.Com is more appealing than .xyz because there are simply more potential buyers.

With that said, I don't really think either domain is that appealing in this case.

It seems like metabigshot is available to register in .com.

Brad,

We hope all is well. Thank you for taking valuable time to share your perspective! We definitely appreciate your feedback; and understand your viewpoint on domain appeal. One thing worth noting is that "domain names associated with curated-content can have a brand appeal that supersedes their character-length and extension appeal." Some domains are ideal for "the sale"; while others are ideal for "the build".

Metabigshot.com is definitely shorter. However, MetaverseBigShot.com being pegged to something like a TV series, clothing brand or gaming competition would give way to a level of appeal that could only be conveyed through use of the word "Metaverse". "Meta" is largely associated with the former Facebook; so this could definitely be an obstacle for any brand looking to establish identity through use of the short-form word.

Thank you again for sharing! We definitely appreciate your willingness to do so. (Smiles)

Jhm,

We hope all is well. We thank you for taking the time to reiterate @bmugford's viewpoint. You're welcome to review our response to his comment. We definitely appreciate progressive dialogue about domains that are ideal for "the sale" versus those that are more ideal for "the build".

As an extension of our response, we'd like to add that "Meta" is very much a popular short-form word; but this is heavily overshadowed by the fact the former Facebook leverages it as their nameplate. When many people say "Meta", "Facebook" typically comes to mind. (This was obviously a part of their branding goal. Smiles)

Needless to say, "metaverse" is a term that's commonly used when aiming to identify people, things and happenings that exist in the digital realm. Hence, a "big shot" in the "metaverse". (metaversebigshot.com) Some might argue "meta" or "metaverse" is a matter of preference; but more formal terms tend to lead by definition.

Thank you again chiming in! We definitely appreciate you. (Smiles)

This combination unfortunately makes no sense in both TLDs (or any other TLD).

@futuresensors

Thank you for taking the time to share your viewpoint! Your expressed inability to make sense of the domains emphasizes the vital role “individual interpretation” plays in whether "specific concepts and strategies" will be embraced by "specific types of people".

With the aforementioned stated, your comment referenced the "combination unfortunately makes no sense in both TLDs (or any other TLD)". It’s quite impressive you can reach such a determination with there being over 1k+ ICANN TLDs and 2 million+ blockchain TLDs that are definitely options. It reads that you've considered them all.

We thank you again for allocating time to engage our post; while also providing your "pointed" feedback.

Yeh when it's a bad name I don't think the extension matters. It merely lowers the bar for acceptability in naming.

This name isn't particularly terrible though, it could be developed into something mindlessly clickable.

Appeal in presentation.. well dot-com packs a punch out of the two. It is the bigshot of extensions, after all. When you're looking at a lengthy domain name at least it ending in dot-com can give a sense of relief.

 

[hawkeye]

Perhaps the OP, who went in so heavenly with this phrase - metaversebigshot (with 8 regs of it, hyphens and all) , can explain what it means and why they regged them all. Unless it's just for his own future personal branding.

@HotKey,

We hope all is well. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Propsective brand use-cases for the domains include, but aren’t limited to, TV Series, podcasts, gaming promotions, merchandising, events and more. The possibilities are vast. However, in order to see the prospects one must exercise "foresight without fixed bias".

"Metaverse" is a high-value word; and "big shot", by definition, is "an important or influential person". To be important and influential in a rapidly expanding Metaverse carries a bit of weight. (Smiles) In addition, things that evoke an elevated status tend to be sought after. Factor in the coveted ".com" and you have something unique.

Thank you again for your feedback.

We hope all is well. Thank you for providing your feedback. As shared with @HotKey, "Metaverse" is a high-value word; and "big shot", by definition, is "an important or influential person". To be important and influential in a rapidly expanding Metaverse carries a bit of weight. (Smiles) In addition, things that evoke an elevated status tend to be sought after. Factor in the ".com" and you have a digital asset that conveys "distinction" and "status".

As for registering variations of the domains with "hyphens and all", this is one way clients are provided with an added layer of digital-asset security and value. Imagine offering "yourname.com" in the same marketplace as a competitor offering "your-name.com". Our clients appreciate the peace of mind that comes with knowing they have variations of their domain assets at their disposal. It also discourages bad actors and domain squatting.

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.

We definitely appreciate progressive dialogue about domains that are ideal for "the sale" versus those that are more ideal for "the build". Appeal will always hinge on some degree of subjective assessment; and this is why we value all perspectives. Where we see value, others may not. That's life.
