advice End User Inquiries About .Science Domains

[drissesco]

I know there with be a wide variety of opinions and a whole lot of derision about this topic because of the free for all that was/is the registration of .science domains... But I have received three inquiries from three different countries about three different .science domains and I'd like some advice.

When I first was made aware of the .science free for all registration, one of my first thoughts was to register "linguistic/national" grouping .science domains... I got quite a good number of them, including some from very nationalistic peoples that do not necessarily have their own nation. Each of the three inquiries comes from a individual using a email address from a University from the native region of the linguistic group.

For illustrative purposes lets say the domains in question is slovak.science, yiddish.science and punjabi.science... What would you throw out as a price to end users that are perhaps representing a University that inquired about these domains?

This is not rocket.science - Ask them to make an offer and take it from there

Considering that the extension isn't a week old it's difficult to place a value on them. As wwulff suggested have them open with an offer, if reasonable normally I would times it by 3 and meet in the middle from there. GOOD LUCK!

Thank you very much for your fast response but i am getting a message -

• Your domain cannot be moved since it is currently within its Money Back Guarantee period. You can move the domain after this period expires.

I think i need to renew my domain before pushing it to another account ? ( It is a free registration)

Edit : Now i'm able to push it , i was trying with a newly registered domain. That's why i was getting this message.
