discuss Boycott new gtlds!!!

boycott high renewals!

 

[Media King]

I have just catched a great .org drop

 

[dirk]

Registry: Corn Lake, LLC
Registry Backend: Donuts
Type: Generic
Category: Commerce
Priority #: 1107 - Donuts (Corn Lake, LLC)
1312 - Famous Four Media (Spring Registry Limited)

Corn Lake, LLC??? lol
it sounds unsafe for me

Haven't checked but judging by the name that LLC is probably owned by donuts. They have multiple of these LLCs operating their TLDs. All with crazy company names.

We actually tried to relaunch to a .network as that was an exact match of the company name that ends In network.

Switched back to .net after a month as clients would be like this:

Client: what's your email?
Me: [email protected].
Client: is that .com or .nl?
Me: no, that's .network.
Client: yeah I got that but is it like, ending in .com or .nl
Me: forget about that, drop the mail to [email protected].
Client: great, added you to my contacts.

I personally like ngtlds but I'm a geek, a nerd and love pretty urls. The average end user or client doesn't recognize them (yet) and untill they do I would advise anyone who's not a major player in their field (or a hipster Startup with way too much funds to market a domain) against using a ngtld.

No reason to boycot the second grade (Read ngtld) version of .com/net/org/cctld though.

What is your business area?

 

[Media King]

What is your business area?

probably internet services seo marketing etc

company.network. looks weird and strange .

 

[dirk]

What is your business area?

Multiple disciplines actually but for this division we provide technical solutions and support for onsite severrooms.

Hey, who doesn't call themselves SEO specialists these days? .

Honestly, I feel like having nGTLDs are good, especially for startups. It's 2018. We like having options. We like being different. Startups are increasingly using nGTLDs to delineate/differentiate themselves from other companies, and are caring less and less about nabbing premium TLDs.

As long the domain is a one-word, or extremely topical to an industry, I've personally found it worth the risk. Don't really understand the hubbub.

Pointless thread. Sounds like he picked up some ngtlds and didn't check the renewals - now he wants to boycott them because he can't afford to renew.

I don't have new gtlds

Well, it is interesting how your only threads to date are about ngtld prices and you said:

stop register new gtlds
boycott high renewals!

I mean if you don't own any, it seems odd why you would want to boycott them. If it doesn't affect you, why complain about it ?

 

[nbuzz]

I don't see the hype around them either to be honest, bar a few they are not commonly known and don't do great in the SERPs .. where there are sheep there are wolves though so some people will make money but as a long term investment I don't think so

Dear OP,

Please do not be stressed. The market will dictate demand-for both new registrations and aftermarket sales of new gTLD domains, just as it has for .COM, .NET, other gTLDs, and ccTLDs.

Domaining will continue to be profitable and a source of intriguing news. Registration fees and renewal costs of new gTLDs will serve as barriers of entry, influencing rates of adoption and market penetration of relative TLDs, much like they always have. Just as .COM registration and renewal fees influence domain registration rates currently, the same will be applied at scale with new TLD options.

Sleep well, knowing that new gTLDs will not, in fact, bring upon an Internet Apocalypse. Rather, consider new gTLDs as an Internet Renaissance, which may actually be responsible for increased demand of premium domains.

If still, you find the prospect of the new gTLD aftermarket terrifying, rest-assured that participation is not mandatory. You may continue to trade in the traditional gTLDs without facing any penalty. For some, however, embracing the new gTLD aftermarket possibilities will prove to be a profitable venture.

I hope this has brought some peace to you. Happy domaining!

Sincerely,
DomainBox.io

You know.....

For a pointless topic, this thread has sure taken off into a lively discussion.

I have a 5 letter exact domain match for a business and the business owns the five letters with .associates.

name.associates

They are trying to get my domain because the email [email protected] is failing miserably for them. It is failing even though the business is actually called

_ _ _ _ _ Associates.

So it's not only the renewal rates but email is playing a part in the difficulties these extensions are experiencing.

Can you please share the full domain name of that dot associates. You can pm me if you like but I don't see any harm to share it here so folks would have a better understanding of your example.
Also can you share what is the extension of the exact match domain.

They might be willing to buy your domain for brand protection, who knows?

My business e-mail is in a new gTLD and I am doing alright, no problem or whatsoever on customer side.

Doing the same thing right now, sipping my drink and reading this foolish comment, you got no idea what you are talking about.

I have businesses on new gTLDs and I am doing perfectly fine. Even customers reaching from countries that I never heard of before.

This is too silly! There are billion dollar companies on new gTLDs online right now.
This is hilarious.
