discuss .CH General Discussion

[Jacks86]

Hello Everyone,

To remove the clutter and keep .CH domainers together, I feel it's better to have one thread rather than a bunch. So NNNN and LLL will be closed. Currently there are:

0 NNN for hand reg

1380 LLL for hand reg

6992 NNNN for hand reg(when I last checked a while ago).

A few weeks ago I called Godaddy support to push a .ch domain to another Godaddy user, and they had no idea what to do. Glad to hear they will automate the account change feature for .ch.

 

[hugegrowth]

Also would be good to implement the same account change feature for the .CZ (Czech) extension as well.

Wow great news from godaddy, wish to see automation soon.

@hugegrowth @JackChan @London555 @domainerfella Can anyone tag and talk to ename and other chinese registry, right now none offer .CH domain registration, if they offer .CH, then .CH registration make skyrocket

New .CH stats out, 1,994,324 as of March 31st 2016 which is pretty good if you ask me. Still just under 2 million but compared to many other cctld and gtld's, it's rocking!

Once GoDaddy fixes the push issue with .CH, things will pickup with that extension since a vast majority of domainers use GD. That remaining list of LLL.CH probably will move faster too.

I read some news for .ch released 3 days ago. Sounds really interesting!

Switch vs. Registrar Alliance
opened the race for .ch
Who will manage the future as ch-domain name? Two major candidates go from mid-April to the start.

Here's another:

03.29.2016 - The management of the database of .ch domain names is publicly advertised, as the contract expires with the SWITCH Foundation mid 2017th The Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM) is mid-April to carry out a public tender to appoint the Registry, which ensures the central organization and administration of the .ch domain.

Maybe China will want the contract lol

 

[DaveX]

Could happen. Might be afilias.

 

[DaveX]

I will continue to hold my .ch domains. .ch is an excellent cctld and if GoDaddy implements auto push and new registry is international and not swiss, it could get good overnight!

 

[hugegrowth]

Imagine if they try to promote it like .co and .me as a global extension, but for China?

 

[DaveX]

Someone said that .ch is a natural for China and only a matter of time. Who knows if they are right, but it is kind of sensible.

Another domainer pipe dream.

 

[DaveX]

Definitely an element of wishful thinking in domaining.

A well known Chinese broker told me that.

Another domainer pipe dream.

Actually not a "pipe dream" at all-those words were from a China broker-not my words.
