How Many Domain Extensions Do You Own?

[Silentptnr]

Depending on the domain investment strategy, some investors are firm in investing in one particular extension, while other domain investors choose to spread their investments over many different extensions.

I thought it might be interesting to see how other investors spread their investments. For me, I have domains in 24 different extensions. 50% of what I own is .com and the other 50% is spread across mostly ccTLD's.

I really hope to see what other domain investors are doing. Is it just one extension, or many?

Eight years ago I had more .Net than any other extension but I found it difficult to sell .Net domains. About five years ago I had more .TV than any other extension but selling .TV is also not easy and the higher renewal costs wipe out the revenue from the occasional sale. So I have dropped about 90 percent of my .Net and about two thirds of my .TV domains. .COM is the only TLD that receives regular inquiries. I will probably continue to trim the .Net and .TV holdings but am now around

70 percent .COM
20 percent .TV
8 percent .Net
2 percent other

1 or 2

I think I have 1 .io, 3 .net, some .org, and the rest are .com (not counting what I am currently selling in bulk or dropping.)

 

[newshunter]

com- most of my names

net- 1

org- 3

~55% .PRO
~25% all other traditional gTLDs and ccTLDs
~20% nTLDs

Jurgen, is it a secret how do sales compare to above percentages? I.e. whether you also sell ~55% .pro, or is it a future investment?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

I work with .PRO since 2010...
Regarding this year - 36 .PRO inbound inquiries as of today... up to $5K per domain... 1 of them I sold for $2K...

p.s. I don't sell my domains cheap.

 

[tupungato]

36 inbound as in from domain name lander or whois, or inbound as in "make offer" at a marketplace like Afternic/Sedo/Uni/Undeveloped? Or both?

Cooool.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

I don't use any marketplaces...
Almost all inquiries via Bodis and ParkingCrew... a few - via WHOIS...

How do people come? Just types in domain name to a browser and gets landing page with make offer?

Yes.
Sometimes - via backlinks (if they exist and the domain was dropped).

Interesting. .pro may seem like forgotten extension but it works for you. I imagine people typing random keyword with the most popular extensions like .com, .net, .org and then approaching. Why did you choose to rely on .pro and not other extension?

 

[Haris]

Mostly .com

Also have several:
.co
.tv
.net
.io
.global
.house
.one
.info

.PRO already surpassed .com in Russia as 2nd-choice TLD... especially in Moscow...
It is also popular in France...
And up to 40% of my inquiries are coming from the USA...

+ I have noticed the significant spike of Chinese traffic on my Non-Chinese .PROs since September...

 

[Fancy.domains]

I would guess I have about 100. At least 75.
