new gtlds .Cloud hits general availability on Tuesday

[Arpit131]

Affordably-priced domain name presents an opportunity for domain name investors.

The company has delivered on the pricing promise. GoDaddy and other registrars are offering the domain names for about $20-$25.

With many “cloud” .com domain names selling for five figures, this seems like a good opportunity for domain name investors. There are no restrictions on registering .cloud domain names.

.Cloud had 500 sunrise applications and 2,651 landrush application

I picked up 3dprint/cloud and 3dprinter/cloud for $20 each. I feel these would be great sites for repositories e.g. Thingyverse

Thoughts?

I am very excited to hear that. I like the idea of creating initial value from new extensions. It makes all investors happy who were wise enough to invest from the jump. The value will only go up so get as much as you can from the start.

All live/redirect...Good start

I don't think so. Looks like defensive regs mostly. At least they used them, but not for stand-alone websites. Not surprised.

@domainsoup he found me by whois information, he pre-reged the domain 3 months ago on Domains . Com but Godaddy was faster
The domain is MEO.cloud I bought it for my father new company "Mohamed El Ouazzani" but he told me that MEO means "mine" in portugese, I tried to translate it to portugese in google but got nothing I don't know why he is interested so much to this domain.
I bought three .cloud domain : abudhabi emirates and meo, I wanted to resell two of them but the one I bought for my father was lucky one

That makes all the sense in the word Meo means MINE or "MY" .Cloud

Another Latin spelling is Mio which is $64,999.99

Im waiting for the first posted end user sale for this extension.

The end user type sales will happen from registry to end users, although some examples above some guys really found some solid uses, but the registry left very few scraps.

I don't think he is on anyone's side, just discussing the facts, but the proper comp would be datacloud com
Appraisal Overview:
EstiBot Value: $ 19,000 USD

 

[sofiapartner]

ok. estibot should not be used here at namepros.

You are just giving newbies the false impression that estibot estimation actually means something.

I think mr domain soup was just trying to justify how the registry can ask $130K for data.cloud, there is no real answer other than they outbid amazon and google for .cloud, and need to recoup that capital.
