news Djibouti and .DJ domains - Next domain boom?

[wot]

Djibouti - you probably never even heard of this country. Perhaps the .dj is more well known to domainers than the country itself.

You will, massive investment from around the world,particularly China and they are leaning heavily towards investment in tourism

Who knows, its sort of ground floor. Domaining is struggling at the moment so baby steps if you decide to invest, but certainly an interesting place, and maybe, just maybe, an opportunity.

I know the capital of Djibouti is Djibouti

Therefore the capital of Sheik Yerbouti must be Sheik Yerbouti ...

I think the capital of Djibouti is Djibouti City?

Why would anybody invest in .dj?

 

[ALBROKER]

DeeJay

 

[Business Brands]

But out of so many domain name extensions, why would people invest in .dj?

 

[ALBROKER]

many Deejays had there own profile website like singers / artists etc..

for example if his name is john he will create John.dj than johnDJ.com
its something like .me extension and very close to Name.ART

 

[Business Brands]

The potential demand for .dj appears to be very limited.

 

[ALBROKER]

i think so too

and the top use is for first name like Sami.DJ and some keyword like music.dj / top.dj

 

[Shackleton]

I would buy one domain in .dj and that is Music.dj. I suspect it is already taken though.

 

[ALBROKER]

@Shackleton as i mention above music.dj one of the top5 keyword for this extension

 

[Shackleton]

Not surprisingly, it is unavailable. Though music.ml is available for $19 from 101domain.com. Sounds like a deal. .ml is the country code for Mali

The thread is about Djibouti and domain names. .dj simply happens to the extension for the country, very little value in general.

The opportunity is probably with .com

Three character minimum, count me out : grin :

Direct at www.dj, the prices are better - one year 40 Euro equals 47.29 US Dollars, resellers are higher, $60+

Poorly documented, 2 letters, TLDs, proprietary, generic, reserved, hurting, confusing, sexual, blasphematory, racist, unecessarily provocative, etc. names cannot be accepted or will be cancelled. Thank you for understanding this. This conforms to Best Practices, to the US Code of Communications and to most of the national and international rules and legislations. In case of conflicts, the A.DJ based conflict resolution procedures apply.

Yes, this is more or less the current count. So it's safe to say the TLD isn't hugely popular and most regs must be out of country.

As someone who knows the country inside out, I can say many dont even know this extension. And between com and net, net is preferred a lot. I had A b o u t Djibouti in com and I let it drop and HD is having it. Hmmm... somehow , all the names I drop are taken buy BD or HD. Interesting.

HANG THE DJ
basically, it's a phrase used as an interjection when the radio station or club DJ is playing some trash. The phrase is used frequently by Morrisey on the 1986 Smiths hit "Panic" where he exhorts that the disco be burned down and the "blessed DJ" by hung up "because the music that they constantly play / it says nothing to me about my life"

 

[wot]

I simply said the extension is probably more well known than the country, I was not, and would not recommend .dj. People simply read what they want to read, nothing new.

Ever tried to ask more than one question in an email?

So is what I am reading correct. Is Djibeauty at the beginning of an investment boom?

There are opportunities but of course domains part have a long way to go.
