Biz or mobi

[opalxx]

I'm looking at regging a name which is currently available only in biz or mobi for flipping only. Which would i have more of a chance with?

Also, where does dot us and dot in fit into the scenario?

many thanks

I suppose both. If all other domain name extensions are taken that might be good and potential domain name there.

Considering the higher quality .mobi names you can buy for under $100 today, it's hard to imagine that you will find something to hand reg today that you could profitably flip in a short time.

avoid all if possible , .us for u.s name , states, geo business's, .biz for business domains makes sense at least , .mobi seems to no value for reselling

I think .biz is a much better extension than .mobi. But I really don't think you'll get much of a flip out of either. The keyword has to be super hot for the .biz to have much value. I never registered any .mobi's and I'm letting most of my .biz domains drop. If that's any help.

Many thanks to all that responded. Just noticed cam biz on sedo with 17 bids and cams biz with 14, so like you said, it has to be super hot.

Stay away from both..

You can buy both of them unless you plan ti develope them!

They are both anemic. .Biz has a longer history as a relative failure. .Mobi is merely a few years old and therefore can claim youth and immaturity as reasons for failure to date.

Don't try to buy and flip either. Domainers don't have cash now, and that is part of the problem with flipping today. End users are still mostly unaware of anything other than .com, .net, .org, and some ccTLDs.

Registrars and registries have made enough $$$ from domainers so as to not be motivated to market to end users. When Godaddy spends millions for Super Bowl ads, you don't hear a peep from Godaddy about .biz, .us, .info, etc.

Well of the two .BIZ is far better than .MOBI, which is virtually useless at this point.

Unless you are an experienced domainer though stick to the more popular extensions.

No one even knows what "dot mobi" is.
At least with .biz, there is a degree of intuitive comprehension there, even though it sucks as a TLD.
