I was going to reply to another thread but then I thought I may as well make my own one.
I have 8 domains through nucleus.be. I tried to register another one that I liked just a couple of days ago and it wouldn't let me.
Don't some people think they've gone overboard with registering domains?
One-hundred-and-fifty free .be's?
I have the intent, and have certainly begun to build sites for each and every one of my .be registrations.
Mass procurement of a TLD that is free is against the policy and certainly the fair reasoning behind the release of the .be domain into the market.
Put youself in their shoes for a moment, you got 150 of them for free, and then you're trying to sell them off at the highest price possible. I won't be surprised if everyone that has more than the X number they believe is fair will eventually be confiscated.
If they take my 8, then so be it. After the first five I felt a bit guilty at MY greed, but I had my fill at 8. It was a week or so later that I thought of a nice .be which was available and tried to register it and was unable to.
I think everyone should have had a 'go slow' approach.
And even after you've got your catch, wait a while. Who wants to buy a .be off someone at an overinflated price that they just got the day before?
And what's with some of those names? For goodness sake... there's domain names ending with .be that I wouldn't buy if it had a .com tacked on the back of it.
My strategy is to finish designing and develop each of the sites for the domains I've bought. Once they're up and running I'll be monitoring them. I'm yet to finalise what sort of advertising revenue programs I'll be running on each one but ocne they've up, well if they earn more than it'll cost to re-register them come November 2006 I shall.
If they don't, but they have a lot of traffic then you can expect to see them somewhere around here, for appraisal in anticipation of selling them off. Let's say 3 or less months before they expire. At least I'll attempt to. If I don't then who cares. The damn things were free anyway.
If my choice revenue strategy has failed and the traffic sucks, they'll be dropped.
So that's my two cents worth. Throw rotten fruit at me if you want to, but greed isn't good. And if you registered 50+ domains you are greedy. And when you lose them... well it's what you deserved as part of the registers Terms of Service.
