Hello everyone

X.Company

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

Congratulations.

 

[hullswingerscom]

you sold it to them?

 

[emadpino]

Good news, but how much was it sold for ??

I am wondering why Google did not also buy the matching .com ? it is parked at sedo for $10k!

X.Company renewal price is around $500

I am wondering why Google did not also buy the matching .com ?

Maybe they foresee the future.

 

[emadpino]

Maybe they foresee the future.

I am waiting for some guys to say that Google is stupid and they gonna lose traffic to the .com

Jump in guys.

 

[hullswingerscom]

so who sold it and what price ?

 

[emadpino]

Yeah we want to know how much was it sold for.
I am not sure why did he open such a thread with insufficient info about the sale.

 

[Al Marri]

you sold it to them?

No , the First owner was from China . They bought it from him .

 

[Chris Rice]

I'm sorry guys, but you are idiots @JB Lions @Kate
(disclaimer: not to be taken literally)

Lol.

Sorry for the joke, I just had to get that out of my system since both of you passive-aggressively insinuated that I was an idiot every time you used the phrase "abc.xyz is not a customer facing site" followed by your self praise and degrading .com rhetoric.

If you don't get the picture yet, Google has been slowly moving away from .COM to nGTLDs and will ultimately land just where I said:

abc.xyz
a.xyz
b.xyz
c.xyz

and yes, x.xyz

Be ready for a shakeup in China regulations too. Like Google, they are waiting for the perfect time and moving step-by-step.

While checking Google's SolveforX.com site today, I saw it now resolves to X.Company. XCompany.com still looks to be for sale. Whether leaving that unpurchased is a good move on Google's part...

 

[Chris Rice]

Google is a trendsetter and is not always a trend-follower. @Cal2

 

[Chris Rice]

Is this a new website?

What is .company?


If you have a business large or small,

.company is the obvious choice for your web presence.

Let the world know you’re open for business with a

.company web address.


Why .company ?


.company offers a TLD targeted to enhance user visibility by adding a relevant keyword to business domain names.

.company is a business-focused domain that offers companies an additional option beyond existing domains like .biz and .co

.company is a highly-searched keyword in association with review forums and blogs, making this TLD an intuitive option for review services.



It’s a credible, professional domain that is perfect if your business or organization
has “company” in its name.

I don't think they are going to stick with X.company.

Just like I didn't think they would stick with SolveforX.com or CapitalG.com.

They are downgrading their domains so the switch the .xyz will be an obvious upgrade.

Notice that they are using Domains.google?
- Not google.domains.

X.xyz is similar to a .brand for them since the .xyz represents the end of Alphabet's domain name(s).

***
.abc is taken by a separate company, .alphabet is too long so they chose .xyz to end their domain names and disrupt the DN industry. It will clear a path for their Google Domains business.

We can agree to disagree.

I believe Alphabet's (formerly Google) is planning on centralizing everything on abc.xyz and .xyz so it will be easy for everyone to find their websites / companies.

This would help heat the fire of excitement and make it easier for them to spread awareness of their job opportunities since it's hard to stop employees from leaving for companies like Facebook.

I think you are more interested in building excitement for .company than analyzing Alphabet's goals and strategy.

Good luck for everyone, wish the best for all .

 

[Michael Ehrhardt]

For me, .com is enough to signify that it is a commercial company. Remember, length is a key factor in determining the value of a domain name.

I can see why Citi Bank would change from CitiBank.com to Citi.Bank, especially considering the security practices of that TLD operator but I don't see CitiBank changing to CitiBank.Company.

We shall see..
