Hello everyone

X.Company

The extension is quite longer than .com, which is a disadvantage, unless you can shorten the left of the dot.
But it seems to me that it's in direct competition with .co then.
'company' is fine in English speaking countries, much less in other countries. Many new TLDs are in fact English strings and thus unlikely to be embraced everywhere.

Fewer than 50K registered so far: https://ntldstats.com/tld/company
My only problem is that I don't think any .company investors are actually running a real business on a .company domain...
To put it differently: people are trying to sell stuff that hasn't passed the reality test for them

I think .co is better than .company. Therefore sales volume and prices will be lower than what we can currently see with .co

Sipping my coffee again...I see the domain vultures have came back to the .company nest again...smh.

Reminds me of Invasion Of The Body Snatchers that came out in 1978, starring Donald Sutherland. The entire world is trying to make you become just like them, a clone of the .com system....when your only trying to be you in this .company forum/post...smh (Sips a little bit more coffee). Folks, again....many of us have large .com portfolios already, but we love .company also. How about you guys go fishing or something? Go create your own forum/post and leave the people in here alone lol.

don't disagree with that. It is only the habit that makes it popular.

Nailed it. "it's only" popular because it was the only true commerce choice for years.
Won't be long before it means commie
The next gen of users aren't sheeple following the herd.

Any .COM sales in it's first 10 years??

First they were given away just like some of the new ones. It took 15 years before sales took off which coincided with the reduction of reg fees. Not popularity. Even today there are millions of .com's nobody wants and have been on the shelf for more than 30 years.
Also, according to the "experts" just a few short years ago number.com's were worthless. Now numbers are a big deal in a lot
of extensions.
Listen to the market, not the barkers.
Cheers!

DNS protocols are always changing. Scarcity increases value...you learn that in ECON 101 or 100, but I guess you never took that. Also there is plenty of demand and it will continue to grow, if ngtlds weren't in demand then why would Google or Microsoft buy them while comparable .com's gather dust being parked? Clearly they are the better option being legacy tlds? Your a fool to think that public reports account for a meaningful percentage of domain sales, any company worth its ilk would buy domains under very strict NDA's revealing nothing other than them being the new owner. Again, I've already sourced Paul Mockapetris, so rather than make insubstantial arguments, you should go and watch that video...wasn't it you who asked for the source? Paul Vixie, as established as he is did not create the DNS and therefore has a starkly different vision then the man who made it his mission to build it Paul Mockapetris and after reading that article it seems to me that he is more concerned about the security issues of new NGTLDs and the fact that a "price tag" can be associated with the registration of a new addition to the DNS than the actual innovation of its use. In layman's terms he is more concerned about how it affects his own interests and the principles that he himself has rather than the actual need for them. Which makes sense since he runs a security company( Farsight Security), using an article to create a problem that needs fixing is quite an easy way to gain business, but I doubt many people think at this level.


I suggest you take the time to find less bias sources. Just going through google won't cut it.

"he runs a security company( Farsight Security), using an article to create a problem that needs fixing is quite an easy way to gain business, but I doubt many people think at this level."

the question is what value will be increased.

scarcity of diamonds will NOT increase value of cubic zirconia



the same applies to .com. What counts is the ratio of reported .com sales vs. .ngtld sales. The percentage of nGTLD sales, is so far not significant.



This is not reflected in current sales reports. Large companies mostly buy .com.



if we look at current sales reports, end-users don't think that way or they simply don't know any better.

dordomai,
"Everyone wants a .com first. If they have the choice between carinsurance.com and car.insurance and the price is the same they will always buy carinsurance.com"

Too bad Facebook, Paypal, Microsoft, Telcom, Airbnb, World hosting days (the owner of NamesCon) Bordeaux, The Global Capital of Wine wine.global and vin.global etc., etc. didn't listen to you or kate.
Save them.

"if someone is buying a domain based on the concept of the greater fool theory it is not legit".

You nailed it again! soooo many .com portfolios, auctions that nobody wants even after 30 years ! Yet .commies still believe someone will.... eventually.
.99cent .com's all day long pumping up reg numbers.....yea, legit.

There are also a lot more decrease in value sales in .com this year than ever before. The homework assignment you might have missed.

Just posted, (from domaininvesting.com)

Judging from some of the tweets shared by Radix and TechCrunch, there have been quite a few hackers using Radix domain names for their projects.
