.co .CO - The Discussion, Showcase and Sales Report Thread

[TOXX]

Well, it seems like Colombia will be releasing .CO to the internet market:

...
This could truly be a big competitor to .COM (especially being a "typo").
I would say with proper guidance .CO could REALLY have a bright future!
...
Let me know your thoughts please.

eNom is forcing me to pay $40 PER renewal. Ugh. I'll renew but I'll transfer these eventually

Dont pay that! You are just throwing away money.
Just transfer it now to Godaddy or Namesilio

:tu:

I dropped ghb and eio. Ghb got purchased at godaddy auction. Eio is pending delete and reservation period ends tomorrow. Hurry, run, backorder now and donate your hard earned money to the registries :o

I planned on transferring out but lost track of them (I never really use eNom). These will be transferred to my main (GoDaddy) soon :p

If you have a good .co, you'd be foolish to let it drop. .co has been steadily rising and I daresay it'll be a wise investment soon. BUT I suggest one not register or hold TOO many .co unless they have the funds to do so. I own 2 triple-premium .co's (AEN and BII). And I'm more than willing to pay a few years' renewal fees on these. If .co winds up being a bust, well, I only had 2 of them & I have the cash to risk.

Both were renewed. Now, I'll have to get them moved.

What defines good? Good to you may be terrible to me... I'm thinking .co is about to get lost in a sea of new extensions.

Both were renewed? Say what? Oh maybe your LLL

 

[Archangel]

One man's trash is another man's treasure, yeah. But general consensus is general consensus. "AEN" is considered triple-premium in the collective mind of most skilled domainers. The .co isn't a .com, obviously, but aen.com selling around the base value of a LLL.com is laughable. Pretty much anyone would define AEN as good. BII, on the other hand, is a triple premium but I and the number 1 look a lot alike, thus it's easy to say it's a triple premium but not a 'good' one. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose

You're throwing money away strictly on letters. The extension you attach to those letters makes a world of difference. Yes AEN is great if it's .com. Does that mean it's good in .co. .us .me .tv? I think not :imho: Now let's factor in AEN registered in 1,000 more extensions which are no different than .co...yikes!

 

[Archangel]

I agree with you 100%. But this is an argument the industry's had for years. I'd suggest ppl stick to well-known extensions & to not invest much in others. But IF you see a worthwhile domain AND if you have the cash to afford risking, then holding 1 or 2 of these domains isn't a bad idea. I own 3 .co, but I'm ridding of the worst of the 3, thus I'll only have 2. And after a few years, I'll sell each for $3,000-5,000 or more -- OR I won't be able to sell them for much and might let them expire. ppl don't buy lottery tickets assuming they're guaranteed to win with one. It's a gamble. If you have the cash and if it won't in any way hurt you, then there is no problem with having 1 or 2. If I lose on these, so be it. It's only 2 domains x renewal fee for a couple years. I can afford it.

Apple has cash so they should pursue bad investments? I agree, no risk, no reward. At this point I believe we've seen what .co has to offer. You either believe or you don't!

 

[Archangel]

Your criticism has no point and is pretty much irrelevant. Apple could afford a $10-100 investment, no matter how good or bad. If ppl make a BIG investment with new extensions, they're being unwise. A person risking $100 bucks in the possibility to get thousands isn't bad. Come on, can you not afford $100? EVERYONE here can risk a paltry $100. Don't make a $x,xxx+ investment on unproven things unless you can afford the gamble. But you'd have to be a rather poor person to not have $100 to invest. Besides, you aren't even looking at sales figures, thus your opinion has no weight--though it's respected, still. (I know this because you haven't been browsing all of the decent sales of .co & apparently, you haven' noticed sales are getting higher.)

Aside from that, ppl like me have made thousands with these kinda domains, the ones you say are "bad investments." They're only bad if you have no idea how to make them profitable

Not to argue but I've made thousands in .co myself...probably $20k in total. I pay close attention to every reported .co sale and the majority of other reported sales in various extensions. In all honesty you should listen close to what I'm saying as it certainly carries weight. Drop your .co unless it's a uber premium product name. Otherwise you're playing the lottery...

 

[Archangel]

Again, I agree and I'm not trying to provoke n argument. All I'm saying is it doesn't hurt to make a tiny gamble. A full-scale investment in an exotic ext is a waste of money. But if you have the cash and don't mind potentially losing it, owning 1 or 2 & keeping them a few years isn't a bad idea. ccTLDs aren't cheap, so owning any should be kept to a very low number. If you win, you'll win big. If you lose, you'll lose small. On the other hand: if you own many ccTLDs & keep them for a few years, then they best as hell be worth something in the end 'cause in that case, you'll win VERY big or lose VERY big. Domaining is a game of calculated risks. Make your moves wisely. Owning 1 or 2 of these domains won't ever hurt you, ever. Owning 50, 100 or so can (and likely will) hurt you terribly. That's all I'm saying--1 or 2 isn't bad

Wise investment soon, when a sea of new extensions are coming? I would imagine the values just start to drop when that happens, not go up. People just have many more extensions to choose from. You might be seeing some sales now because holders of decent .co expect that same kind of drop and are selling/dumping what they have left before the flood. That just seems smart to me, know when to fold 'em kind of deal. We shall see.

 

[Archangel]

"Know when to fold 'em," exactly. I'm strongly against owning a billion domains of new extensions, and .co is no exception. You need to keep sharp eyes and watch the trends, though. And like stocks, you'll need to know when to sell. Yeah, you can make literally millions with new extensions--if you play the game smart. If I owned 500 .web or whatnot, and notice a huge downtrend, then I'd sell while the money's still good. As I've said though: owning a tiny handful of things that look promising is the best way to go. ccTLDs and these other crappy ones coming out will carry hefty price-tags. Can you make a million bucks off these? Sure. But only the foolish (and/or noobs; noobs are typically the foolish) will believe that they will. The smart dominers know that they CAN but likely won't. Know what to buy, what to sell, and when to sell. That doesn't apply simply to non .coms -- it applies to ALL domains. It should be among the #1 things ppl should know before they even try their hand at domaining.
