I take it this is your company? So you are going to broker domains on a .io, dealing with potential buyers/companies, trying to educate buyers why domain names are so expensive and will spend a lot of time trying educate buyers why a .com is so important, even have 2 sections on the site trying to educate buyers:-

====
"Domains which relate to certain industries have far higher value. If you look at the finance industry which is worth trillions, domains like finance.com money.com loans.com are worth minimum 7 figures. These names have high search volume and far greater brand equity than for example WeSellCheapLoans.com (no offence to whoever owns this name)."
===

===
"This rebrand is certainly good news for the owner of Block.com whose traffic has rocketed due to the publicity and people hitting up the .com apposed to .xyz which is why it's important to own your .com in addition to other extensions. "
===

Yet as a company they (you?) have switched from .com to .io

Hi,

thanks for your comment, yes .com is important if you choose to have a .com for your company. these days more and more brands are moving away from .com and adopting alternative extensions.

.com is still valuable for brand protection sure, but doesn't mean other extensions have less value.

A domain is worth $0 to one company, and $1m to another regardless of the extension, he who pays the most is he who gains the most from owning it, thus doing the right leg work to find the right buyer is imperative to making a great sale.

plenty of .com dinosaurs shouting till they are blue in the face saying .com is the most important when in reality any domain extension can accelerate a brands growth, what's important is protecting the brand by owning your brand be it .com or .xyz or .io

Brand perception is changing, 10 years ago people would assume all big brand have .com but these days some of the biggest brands use alternative extensions, the world is turning digital, web 3 is around the corner, if you refuse to adapt and follow the industry natural evolution you will get left behind.

.com is king but some brands want the queen or the prince as the king is an old grumpy goose!

I'm sorry if you are offended that I'm using a .io apposed to a .com but frankly their are bigger problems in the world right now to worry about.

all the best for 2022

Is this really "Domain Industry News"?

Good luck with your re-brand, but it seems more like self-promotion than industry news.

hi,

not sure what you're problem is? but perhaps in 2022 you should support one another and not be a dick.
