discuss .Bond Future ?

[Amit V]

Anybody buying .Bond extension ? Any future for this extension ?

 

[Michael Norris]

With $800 renewals I don't think so.

With $800 renewals I don't think so.

Other than the producer of James Bond and related, I don't think someone can afford to invest 800$ only on renewals knowing the choice of millions of other extensions already availables at low cost.

$800 renewals

really ......????

 

[Samer]

really ......????

Yup.

 

[Shaan Chopra]

Any future for this extension ?

bleak.

Subdomain: Bond.James.Bond

 

[Samer]

bleak.

So bad, it makes other ngTLDs look bleak.

This is common with shameful ngtld pricing;
We mustn't single out .bond —

I can see the rationale behind exclusive spaces that are not full of garbage.
Especially for .security & .storage
It creates a level of trust.

why not pay $8 a year for same trust .com?

Because the dot com space is filling up with garbage.
You can gain that level of trust with a good short dot com, but it's going to cost a lot more than $8 to buy that domain - probably the same as these exclusive extensions.

 

[Michael Norris]

I don't think the purchase price is the problem really... sure it might cost over $8 to buy, but what's the renewal like?

.com renewal @ $80 for 10 years
.bond renewal @ $8000 for 10 years

What do you think you're best chances are as a reseller? Buying one domain with high renewal fees, or buying 100 domains with lower renewal fees?

If you're worried about paying good money for a good domain name, imagine how you'll feel when it comes time to renew it at $800 a year.

Another one already dead ngTLD

 

[CraigD]

These exclusive spaces have been priced to keep scammers, domainers and resellers out.

I like the fact that users going to 'MacroHard'.storage are not going to end up on an $8 phishing site and have their login details harvested if they make a spelling mistake when typing in the URL.
