discuss Discuss dot Fun

[NigelD]

found a great one for all the ngtld lovers

alotof.fun - AVAILABLE - BE QUICK

 

[Grego85]

Just another example of a greedy registry trying to make a fortune off of a mediocre extension. Nothing for me, plenty of other extensions to choose from with much better pricing.

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

I registered the highest .fun domain!!!

funfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfun.fun
- highest number of 'fun' a domain name can consist of
- 63 characters, highest number of characters a domain name can consist of
- ends with the TLD .fun at the same time

No .fun domain contains more 'fun' - a serious fact.
That's why it's price is veryyy highhh

 

[Grego85]

I thought Drunk.Fun would have been a cool name for a little humor site project, but at 3k a year? That's just stupid. I think they must have been drunk when they came up with the pricing tiers.

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

I looked up few geo .fun for fun and they were all x,xxx

10$ a day doesn,t sound like much .fun to me

 

[CJ6]

LOL.
SouthKorea.fun is $XXXX premium.
NorthKorea.fun is regular price.

 

[akos]

It's interesting how the registry prices the premium domains. As I can work out past sales are a big factor for their premium name selection process. I have just searched and found that warez4.fun costs $300 just because warez4fun.net sold for $1k in 2008. Interestingly enough warezfor.fun is available at regular pricing. Another one: Onlinegaming4.fun is $3000 (!) but onlinegamingfor.fun is available again.

I presume a lot of registries do the same, just thought it would be interesting to share.

 

[wormfood]

gamble.fun is available

oh, it's 3k a year

 

[usernamex]

I love fun and I just cannot find a dot fun I would pay $17-20 renewal on

For anyone super bargain hunting for dot fun that you plan to keep or develop, domfam - Domain/MyDomain/NetFirms/Dotster has $13.99 reg and $19.99 renewal - so buy now at NC for $6.88, wait out the 60 days and keep an eye out for the next good 30% coupons (rarely up to 40%) and transfer/renew at $14 or less

 

[Silentptnr]

@domainwest - GoDaddy is your place to book the .fun. Because it is only $9.99 for first year.

Now the fun part. Here are the domains I already tried, listed alongwith price on GD. Hopefully this will save some-one some-time. Maybe someone will find the price justified for some name.

most.fun - 6499
math.fun 12999
dog.fun - 12999
cat.fun - 6499
ideas.fun - 1399
true.fun - 1399
workout.fun - 699
outdoor.fun - 12999
indoor.fun - 3299
smart.fun - 6499
endlss.fun - 6499
pot.fun - 3299
college.fun - 12999
festive.fun - 3299
sunday.fun - 3299
group.fun - 3299
yes.fun - 699

I stopped my search because I failed to see the commercial application of most of these names. Most of them are great names for blogs, but that is it.

Namecheap has .fun for 6.88

 

[bluebox]

I think .fun is the prime example of unnecessary, niche extension that will be gone within 10 years.
Don't waste too much money of it.

 

[DNGear]

Have Fun.
(Its not my domain)

I registered the highest .fun domain!!!

What if I registered FunToThePowerOfInfinity.fun. Wouldn't that be more .fun?

 

[platey]

I reckon dot fun have lost a lot of money by pricing a lot of dot fun domains far too high and many won't get renewed because of high renewal prices

It is a great gtld but not at those prices

 

[DNWon]

I figured I would "gamble" on at least one .fun! Why not?

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

Idea for all .Fun registrants

Since these domains are going for high renewals. If you grab some good ones

Why not contact registry and have THEM kick off your sedo "$100 offer push to auction" since THEY stand to benefit from having such domains at auction and being sold?

And once they buy them back they can do to these domains what they did to all the domains they reserved for themselves?

Worse case scenario? You get your .Fun domains to auction on sedo for free.

It's a win win for the registry and you.

You get to flip at auction they get exposure for their .fun.

If they win they stand to benefit if they lose to a higher bidder they still stand to benefit as it will show the world their .Fun's value.

It's all about getting .Fun domains into free sedo auction.

I think this can work for pretty much any gtld's?

What do you think?

Like that Emirates.fun that for sure should have been reserved with A $12k renewal. But it wasn't .

Would the registry benefit by placing a secret bid of $100 @Sedo? I bet they won't go higher?

But at least gets your .Fun to market.

 

[biggie]

enduser.fun go buk it

cuz dat wat u r now, to the registry

 

[wormfood]

F is for Fire-sale, dump before renewal
U's for Ur in a lotta debt
N is for aNything can be a TLD, when there are suckers like you and me.


Your domain is available! SALE!
spongebob.fun
$11.99
Renewal: $24.99

 

[Kate]

Companies always make plenty of defensive regs across many TLDs, doesn't mean they have a genuine interest.

 

[NigelD]

agree - there must be a lot better ways to invest your time and money - than investing in .fun

 

[CJ6]

How about political figures? IIRC, Putin was available.

 

[AMRO1001]

Emirates.fun and uae.fun

it is me...I also got emirates.fun, but uae.fun is in auction now

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

it is me...I also got emirates.fun, but uae.fun is in auction now

Congrats ya lucky bastard! Lol

For all gtld domainers.

The silver lining in all gtld's like this .Fun is what we all have been seeing like with .Bet it's these ridiculously high renewals.

So our domains have immediate value because if someone buys ours.

No bs high renewals $x,xxx.

Always remember to make this point.

That your domain is NOT REGISTRY OWNED = NO $x,xxx renewals .

Good luck to all.

I only tried to grab words or abbreviations that sold for $xx,xxx in the past.

Niches perfect for .Fun?

Geo's
Gambling
Gaming
Kids
Tourism
Adult

 

[AMRO1001]

[CJ6]
