discuss .Com Domain Market Dead?

[StartupNames]

With so many extensions available for as less as 2 dollars hand registration, is the .COM living on borrowed time? In 10-15 years time will .LIFE be the same as .COM in valuation? Or is the .COM living on borrowed time just now...

I was testing domains on BODIS and by looking at the traffic the top ones are one word domains in other extensions and some rare 2 word domains with .com and.org based on this my advice to beginners.
Do not buy allot of .com domains but instead buy one word in other extensions!
As my US friend say all the jewels with .com, .net and .org were taken until 2000 year.
P.s. if someone try to defend this 3 popular TLD's they most likely work at Verisign and other registrars that pay them to spread fairy tales.
Update: also we can see that .com is increasing in registered domains, but believe me this are end users hand registering them, cause they think they will get rich, something which i have think in the beginning.

Don't put much stock in how much traffic names are getting, regardless of extension. Most of it is not organic.

The surest way to see what types of names sell best is to check aftermarket sales reports. While I agree that single word new gTLD names can be good investments, the same is also true of names in legacy extensions. As always, the key is picking the right names at the right prices.

It's a signal that we should start thinking about accepting a new way of earning $ … if he can earn $ by promoting .top (registry) , how much $ we can get from the .sucks registry? How about suing the .com Verisign for not paying us for all the promo we’re doing for decades?

I think they call it reparations.online Mines coming

Domain Coach.....obviously you didn't read this;

In legal documents released by ICANN yesterday, Verisign’s lawyers say: “The undisputed evidence is that Verisign needs a TLD like .WEB for growth given the decreased name availability in .COM”

Verisign was telling the TRUTH when they trashed the entire secondary market of the domain industry, and they're telling the TRUTH about decreased name availability in .COM.

What part of this don't you understand Coach? Then ask yourself why DomainCoach.com has been hoarded for over twenty years, and it's just NOT AVAILABLE in .COM

You're easily impressed by legal documents. For your convenience, please read the following articles to get up to speed with fellow domainers.

.Online is on deck

On deck but not on top.

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

Looks like .Com is doing fine to me.

Show attachment 189440

.com will (can) never reach the top status, no matter how many registrations are there.
No numbers can change this.
Only 3 letters, in the right order - but these are used by .top already (in the right order) which means there is no chance for .com to become top.

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

What are you talking about?

To begin with, Verisign is not interested in the quality of registered names in .com and .net. It's all about quantity. Verisign wants to be able to fulfill their role as com/net registry operator as long as possible and wants to sell as many domain names as possible during that period, with the highest possible margins. And because there is the possibility that another party will be appointed to fulfill this task in the future, they are also actively exploring other TLDs to manage alongside.

Verisign does not make any claims about what you're saying above (would be stupid), and I would appreciate if you could present your source for this.

What is reported in the Q1/2021 Earnings call by Verisign is the following:

Thanks for your statement and reported numbers, but you should consider that Versign's TLDs got all topped.
In this point, quantity doesn't help.
Only (top) quality (of the TLD).

Thank you for your contribution. I really don't know what to answer to this, but just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten you. Best wishes.

Why bother with TLDs from Verisign in these times?
They aren't top and will never be!

And the truth behind the .web fog is that Verisigin's ambitions with .web won't change anything in regards to the circumstance that none of their TLDs are (literally) top.
The best example is .com but also .net and .org (and of course .tv) are good examples.
Soon, .web will be their latest example.

On deck but not on top.

Last I checked both .top and .icu were cratering from top to bottom It's really entertaining to watch.

...i don't need to read your bias articles. I just purchased 3,000+ .online domains where 90% have a .com equivalent that's registered, but NOT available at any price, and you need look no further than DomainCoach.com to see what I mean.

The very last domain I registered about an hour ago Lighthouses.xxxxx has a .com equivalent Lighthouses.com that's been hoarded for over 20 years, and is supposedly for sale at GD for God knows how much?

Maybe you think Lighthouses.Coach, Lighthouses.Jobs or Lighthouses.Shoes make for a better domain

Do not buy allot of .com domains but instead buy one word in other extensions!

Yeah, just do it.
Better for the rest us.

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

As always, the key is picking the right names at the right prices.

And the top key is picking top names at top prices - but for that you have to turn away from .com because .com is not top.

The fact that you answered is a proof that you knew what to answer (at least in that moment).
I just wanted to let you know this.
Top wishes.

I recommend checking .top (the (meaning of the) term of this TLD, not any numbers or stats) again (but now in the dictionary), you will find that top is top.

Not this old thread again... yawn
Seriously, everyone that thinks the com is dead just keep regging those others.
Keep the money flowing one way and just drop all your coms.
Get rid of that trash. Filter your portfolio until there are no more of those nasty old coms and never buy another one, ever.

That is the key to success in this business.
Buy .horse.

Peace,
Kenny

lol...i just sent you a Linkedin message about Chris Taylor and "Go Blue" Dot com isn't dead, but overuse and overprice has taken the life out of most of them. That said however, I was able to pick one up a week ago that has the real potential to be developed into a multi million dollar business. They just legalized Ganja in my state, and the domain "Ganja Express" (slightly different) will look great on a billboard and on the side of a panel truck hauling grade A weed from our 30 acre plot in central Virginia.

And the top key is picking top names at top prices - but for that you have to turn away from .com because .com is not top.

The names you want to pick are ones that sell for an ROI that makes sense when compared to your purchase price. Extension doesn't matter as much as investing in the types of names that have a track record of selling well.

If you're making money selling .top names, that's great, but .com names are generally the safer investment.

Keep spamming and trolling the thread with Stupid.top with no sale history.
There are some good ones that he can register:
Mental.top
Retard.top
Spam.top
Troll.top
