.club .Club Showcase and Discussion Thread

[Eric Lyon]

With the recent popularity and domination of the new gTLD registrations in the .Club extension, it's appropriate to get a showcase and discussion thread going for the extension. Use this thread to showcase .Club domains you invested in, Discuss .Club, and point out record breaking .Club sales.

I'll get things started by showing off our new .Club that redirects back to NamePros ::: DomainName.Club ::::

What .Clubs have you guys and gals invested in?
Any great .Club news that others should be aware of?
What are some (Verifiable) mind blowing .club sales you've seen?
How much are you enjoying your new .club?
Know of any developed .Clubs that look cool?

Hi guys, recently I registred 7 .clubs. They are all LLLL and they have meaning in German and in France.

I am optimistic about them:

deux.club - means 2 in french
zwei.club - means 2 in german
drei.club - means 3 in german
funf.club - means 5 in german
acht.club - means 8 in german
neun.club - means 9 in german
zehn.club - means 10 in german

Hi guys, recently I registred 7 .clubs. They are all LLLL and they have meaning in German and in France.

I am optimistic about them:

...
funf.club - means 5 in german
acht.club - means 8 in german
neun.club - means 9 in german
...

Beside the advantage* that it is an '8' domain, it's the perfect domain to use it for y.acht.club
I think yacht.club is a very expensive premium one.

*for german speaking chinese people

BTW, I registered those two

clubclubclubclubclubclubclubclubclubclubclubclubclubclubclub.club

Urban Times.Club
What you think of this name guyz, I think Urban Times goes well with .Club extension. Could be the name of any resort,theme park or club.

Is there a special process to buy a deleted .club domain? I noticed that some don't become available.
All whois services report: "No Domain exists for the search string" or similar but the domain cannot be registered.

 

[DaVisionz]

I believe they're using snapnames for their drop domains.

Free Travelers .club
There are many people in the world who want to see the world without spending money, this could be a good name for such blog, if you search Free Travelers, will get 18.70 Cr results on google.

Snapnames is used for expiring domains, but after that process ends (no longer pending delete) I have seen released domains that cannot be registered. Whois show nothing but the registrars say the domain is registered. Is it reserved now?

I own USAFishing.Club. What do you guys think?

Personally, I think it's going to be a while before multi-keyword new gTLDs will be worth much. Current market I'd say maybe twice reg fee, but once the market improves for these new gtlds they may go for more.

I have been sticking with single keyword .club applicable domains for the time being.

Mumpreneur . Club worth a punt

Namecheap still has 88cent promo. Problem is getting good names with convincing sales potential as one has to be extra selective in buying these ngtlds

mylifi.club

 

[kite26]

midget.club
margaret.club

I am wondering what is happening with .club domains market. According to NameBio.com there weren't single registered sale since 2016-03-15. Is that possible?

REVR.Club

it sounded like Colin was saying that their current inventory held by the registry will be priced higher. It will be nice to get an exact answer to your question. I assume that if you were to drop them, that the registry would reprice and resell them for the new higher pricing. It doesn't make anyone sleep better at night not knowing what the hell the registries are doing with pricing when it is all over the place.

The general public/end users won't be buying new gtlds when they have to deal with crazy random pricing for each domain within a gltd.

First of all I apologize for the late response. I was traveling. The renewal price for any .CLUB whether purchased for $100,000 or $1 is at general availabily Pricing. Godaddy has it at $8.99 (with the club). Sorry for the confusion.

In addition, we have price protection so that we can not raise prices more than the inflation rate.

Lastly, I am a big critic of tiered pricing that has high annual renewal prices. What is to stop a registry that is trouble (and there will a fair number given the low volumes) to simply raise pricing for a more expensive tier. You buy it for $1000 and then the renewal becomes $2000. If you built a business on it you are stuck.Even if we could raise pricing for .CLUB we would have to raise prices on all 750K names which would kill the "hobby/small business" market for us. Entrepreneurs who launch businesses on a new brandable TLD need consistency and not be worried they will be held hostage by a registry. Investors also need consistency to get behind an extension.

@Colin Campbell can you please indicate if the renewal fees for LLL.Club domains will be increasing at our registrars from this June 15th 2016? Or is the price increase for current remaining LLL.Club purchases?

Will the renewal fees be based on the new purchase prices?

Thanks
Jason

Renewal fees are always at general availability pricing (same as .com) no matter what you paid for the domain initially.

To be clear we only have 1 renewal price for all our 750K names.

Got a link to that policy or where it says that in your ICANN agreement, or is that just company policy that could change at any time?

Why were LLL.club prices changed from a standard price to over $100 for the initial pricing?

That is a tiered pricing policy change that should not have happened. Stuff like that makes the registry look greedy and makes some money in the short term, but might hurt you in the long term.

I'm curious if one of my .Club names expires because I forget to renew it, or whatever reason. Does my expired domain name automatically go to auction, e.g: It would be much more expensive to register it again? This is one thing I am confused about with .Club compared to .Com, .Net, and .Org. With .Com the name would eventually become released again and available for normal price.
