DOT other country domains

[bossku69]

Is it worth having website.ca or blah.dk? I found a few that still have 2 letter domains that are available. Im asking if are they worth buying at $35 to $100 a pop?

you can get .ca's for $14.95 Cdn,but you won't get any two letter ones...good names=good parking revenue.

Depends on the Extensions
It is often a good indicator of the popularity . Any good extension the 2char domains would have gone long ago

What would XX.xx being a 2 character domains value be? I have one im sitting on and i dont know if its worth it. for example -> g9.ac

Is it worth over $100?

 

[armstrong]

g9.ac would be worthless, IMHO.

I agree with armstrong, generic or throw-away domains in other country codes are wothless.

BUT...
If you can get a good quality TLD in another country code, then of course it is worth it!

I own several company names that are registered with country domains that the companies may expand into. Think about how many extensions Google or MTV have. Companys need them and when you cant get a keyword rich Top Level Domain, the second best thing is a TLD in a alternative country extension

Quick Note,
2 character domains usually fetch over $1000 (Except a9.com of course ), but a 2 letter domain in another country code has a lot less value than a .com name.

Prices for short domains are mostly driven by global domainer demand vs. lack of supply. gTLDs are priced low enough that domainers can reg them all. With none available to reg, anyone who wants a short domain has to pay whatever the market wants.

I don't see this happening in all ccTLDs simply because many of them are too expensive. Plus for the most part the demand isn't there. Case in point: amazing.com would probably be worth more than g9.com. So if Amazing.ac is available, why would a domainer reg g9.ac?

what about tgp.bz?

$xxx's?

what about tgp.bz?

$xxx's?

That's perhaps a little bit high at the moment.

.bz's are lacking in sales momentum, especially with .biz still available.
