domain Gin.co.in

[Alan Glennon]

gin.co.in

Just for fun, I thought I'd get some opinions on this one. Some days I value it as worthless, other days I think it's really nice. It's one of my very few .co.in.

Here's the pros:
Gin is a very short, generic word (makes me think of Bombay Sapphire Gin)
Gin has the "IN" combo in it (like its cctld India)

Here's the cons:
It's a .co.in

I don't know whether it gets traffic. I had it misconfigured at Sedo, and I am now changing it to my own servers to count. I assume not many visitors -- someone else's gin.in is parked at Sedo and gets 21 visitors/month.

.co.in definitely hurts the value, unless developed worth $10 - $20 imo.

As far as I am aware, co.in is actually quite popular in India (I could be wrong), I guess the key to this domains value is whether it gets any traffic.

in a few years, mid $xxx. Co.in is still developing, and gaining popularity, but you have here a LLL, which are looking like a domaining staple that increase in value if the TLD is decently popular.

Yes, both .in and .co.in are equally popular. Big companies are using .co.in like yahoo.co.in and they are using .in as well like ebay.in. So as far as end users are concerned, extension makes very small difference. But as far as resellers are concerned they have a clear liking for .in extension and my appraisal was for resellers. For end users this name can easily command mid $xxx upwards.

I think this name could go for Mid to High $xx

I'm a little bit puzzled by some valuations you are giving out, no offense here, but you seem to think that everything that doesn't sit on a .com has no value. Do you have something against other extensions? Are you aware fully of the market across all extensions? What is your personal business experience of other extensions?

The purpose of NP in this section is to provide the highest quality appraisals in the business, maybe you need to read the 'Sticky' threads at the top of the page?

For example, just blanket bombing .co.in in the manner you have done so, I don't know, that doesn't sit well with me. Same with your diagnosis on the China extension. Allowing your personal feelings to get in the way of offering the best appraisals possible, why not just stick with the extensions that you are most comfortable with and have knowledge about? Isn't that better than simply stating that every non .com is worth extraordinarily low money? Or are you just trying to rack up the number of posts you have, something which goes on this section all the time, without offering any real value by return?

I'm just puzzled that's all, how you arrive at your conclusions?

yea people don't seem to be conscious of the fact that since .com is so expended, and many great names just don't exist there anymore, the demand for good/great names in other TLDs will automatically keep increasing.

 

[RWAC]

This is true, although I think there will be exceptions to this in the short to medium term.

However the two main India extensions the .co.in and the .in and China's .cn extension I think for any very short LL or LLL or very good generic terms, the prospects are very good.

Both countries are enjoying a tiger economy, the english language will become much wider spread in the future and the internet in both countries no doubt at some point will explode with new users coming online.

I'm not going to knock Dnam here, but too, I was wondering what he might make of another post in this section for appraisals, which at present is situated but a line or two away from this appraisal request, namely, Islamic.co.in?

First of all let me clear this, i don't allow any personal feelings to get in my of offering the best appraisals possible. I give my honest opinion of what i think the name is worth, sometimes i am right and sometimes wrong like anyone else.

I don't have anything against cctlds. I do try to remain aware of the market across various extensions. Everybody knows in general cctlds are cheaper when compared to .com (there are exceptions) and many cctlds have weak market when compared to other cctlds. The name i appraised here would command way more money if it had .co.uk extension even though it is a cctld as well.

Two month ago i auctioned off wtf.co.in here at namepros and it was sold for $10, it has more overture than gin, though google trends shows gin is more searched than wtf. As far as indian audience is concerned i believe wtf is equally if not more popular word. I don't think much has changed for .co.in extension in the last two months, hence my appraisal of $10 - $20. I didn't spelled it all out in my earlier post cause IMO jagusa is experienced enough to know it all.

You can always read about my appraisal method in my appraisal Q&A.

Finally, i think you took offence for my low appraisal for chinacarhire.cn, don't worry i may be wrong, it may very well fulfil your expectations.

 

[RWAC]

Bit of an angst reply there, of course I've read your appraisal Q&A, I read all of them.

As for taking offense at your appraisal of the .cn, you misread me entirely, I was simply asking you a few questions which had me rather puzzled by your methodology.

Many thanks for clearing up these points, even if I feel actually, rather none the wiser.

Enjoy your day.

Oh almost forgot, so what do you think on Islamic.co.in just out of interest? Would be interested to view your thoughts on that name, coming from Delhi and all.

Cheers mate.

Oh don't bother about me, there are many other experienced people here to increase your wisdom.

As far as Islamic.co.in is concerned, i think its worth in the range of low $xxx - mid $xxx for resellers. But, i would advise the owner to hold it up for an end user transaction to get the maximum value. India being the home to third largest population of muslims in world, there are many islamic organizations, one of them would surely want to have this name.
I am not appraising this name at higher price just cause i am muslim, but because this is a more relevant name in the indian context.

You have a good day as well.

 

[malibumobile]

.co.in is a + for this one... I would sell it for no less than $350 in today's market.

 

[rupert]

I haven't been with NamePros very long but I've gathered that RWAC is the argumentative one :D


I think you could get $50 easily for this name if you looked around.
(reseller)

Just to bring up the point on WTF.co.in; I really don't think you can compare the two domains... GIN.co.in is so much more commercial.

 

[RWAC]

LOL certainly I agree I need to think more carefully how I phrase things sometimes, I know I'm awful at communication more often than not, writing exactly as I think, but rest assurred there's nothing personal in it - I will do my best to work on this.

No offense to you Dnam, I really do wish you as well as everyone here all the very best and Coward, thank you for pointing this out, I'll admit, sometimes I need someone like you to give me a clip around the ear and a healthy reality boot up the arse.

You too have a great day.

So i guess popularity doesn't count for anything for you. here's a simple test for you:

if you use gin site:.in command on google it shows 23,700 results
and if you use wtf site:.in command on google it shows 56,500 results almost double the result. I am sure search volume should have same trend for indian region, though i have no way to verify this.

lol does that include the abusive PM you sent me the other day containing four-letter words?

I wouldn't mind but I wasn't having a go at you directly, just agreeing with the logical argument made by a previous poster.

For some reason that entire thread has been deleted

By the way, its dman not dnam. No offence taken, only foolish people are offended by other peoples statement about them on web.

No it didn't include you, you are the exception to the rule - I still maintain my position that you are a complete ass, for in fact, you are doing it again here, jumping in on threads that concern you not in the slightest and putting in your oar on matters of no concern to you in the slightest.

Perhaps we should meet one day to put across our differing points of view, face to face, wouldn't that be utterly delightful?

You NEED to stop being rude to people here. The only ASS here is you.

Got it?

If you can take people's opinions - then don't post.
