domain DotCom.Shop

[Edvard Munch]

I have not found any sales statistics for shop, since it is a new extension, but I thought this could be a nice domain name for selling domain names, or selling other types of stuff related to the internet, marketing online etc.

What do you think?

I like it. it's logical with a ton of potential for development, like you've mentioned. Are you thinking about selling outright or developing?

Well I personally like it, It is a neat logical 'Hybrid'. Nice forsight on this Edvard. I think this needs to 'mature' like a fine wine however. This is one of those 'In the box with 10 years reg, and under the bed type scenarios'.

Spend a few of bucks, buy the .com and develop the shit out of your .shop

Well, DotCom.com is one of those redundant silly names. I would go Monk mode on what you have Edvard.

Agree...but unfortunately with the new TLDs, in the early stages, the last thing I'd want to do is develop a site with the new TLD and not have DotcomShop.com to support my marketing mix. Not to mention protecting the model from other eager developers who could grab the .com variation, undermining your efforts.

Plus you wouldn't want to develop it similar to TheDotComStore.com....

Either that or sit and wait as you suggest and go for a straight sale in a few years, undeveloped.

redundant .com $2500 Sedo, 0 bids/traffic, registered 2003.
Thedotcomshop.com, offers on Sedo min $800 Eur, 0 traffic/bids, registered 2004

it should be in .com
e.g. dotcomshop .com

Sorry, but I am not that keen on it. The reason is it sounds very generic, and is therefore non-distinctive and non-brandable. When you tell someone the name, they won't remember it or they will remember it incorrectly.

Good luck anyway

It doesn’t make sense to sell .COM’s on a ngtld domain. If you sell .COMs, your marketplace domain should be a .COM name.

DotComShop.com for selling .COMs
NGTLD.shop/domain.shop/name.shop/etc. for selling NGTLDS.

Even I have a similar one. I own both the names.
ShopMy.Shop
ShopMyShop.com

Doubt anyone would be willing to pay more than low $x at best for this one if reselling is your intention.

I think it's true. It's hard to convince end users they should buy a .com from you at a premium when you set up business on a regfee domains.
Of course, what matters is that you own a domain that they want but still...

'DotcomShop.com to support my marketing mix'

'it should be in .com
e.g. dotcomshop .com'

Absolutely, I feel Buffoonish yet again.

"dot com dot shop" Looks ok on paper but not spoken.

IMO, you should stick to single dictionary words that match the gtld. Even then it's a crap shoot.

Thanks for all your replies! I know this would be better in .com, but I still like it, even if it does not sell. I do not think it is limited to selling domains, I could see it being used for selling plugins, coffee mugs, internet trivia etc.

It is pretty short, and I could imagine it looking good on the side of a van. At least I see a lot worse 15letter-hyphen-15letter domains on vans and trucks every day when I drive to work. But I agree it might take some time and effort finding a buyer though.

PS! Judging by how many views this thread got, there should be someone interested in a domain like this!
