domain I just renewed these...was it worth it?

[jhansen]

I just renewed 2 names through EuroDNS, approx 22EUR (~35USD) each:

Debate.it
Haul.it

Was it worth it? Opinions and votes are encouraged, thx in advance!

-Justin

P.S. - I know that developing Debate.it (and to a lesser extent, perhaps, Haul.it) would greatly increase the value, I just haven't done so yet...so many grand ideas...but feel free to try and hammer that point home w/me too.

I'm not so thrilled with Debate.it but Haul.it could bring in some nice cash as an informational site for moving day! Rule of thumb tho.. bad ext = needs development.

These names scream development. Undeveloped, they're worth reg fee at best, but with a site, maybe even a simple forum on "debate.it" the value would be a lot greater.

They both are clever hacks and could be very memorable websites. But if you don't want to develop then you have to find the person who will. With zillions of new domain extensions coming there does not seem a lot of reason to hold long-term. (But wait a while, nothing is selling well at the moment).

Expensive domains do seem to raise these questions a lot more - I know mine are always making me wonder.

 

[Datalife]

Damn, I just renewed some domains which may turn out to be a waste of money...

I just wonder where is domaining headed for - these days.

I personally am not a fan of domain hacks or many country code domains, but I've seen plenty of interest from others in these types of domains.

As mentioned above, you really need to develop these or hire someone to develop them for you. They have potential, but in my opinion, that is an expensive renewal for a domain your keeping based upon potential.

quite surprised these names aren't getting as much love as i would've anticipated. Domainers @ NP tend to like these "hacks", but they are good names, and on the inside, you know you would've renewed these. . enjoy

I like haul.it. But I believe endusers need to be made aware of them to want them. Start contacting moving companies...

good luck, g-

 

[advaita]

Haul it seems excellent to me - have u tried getting in touch with haulage/removals companies ?

 

[dezinerite]

I personally think it was a good decision to renew both but you should develop them.

 

[pcp]

I really like haul.it but as has been said above, if you don't want to develop, it might be a good idea to directly approach end users. Great name IMHO.

 

[johname]

the problem is next year you will have to renew them again

Just because you develop them doesnt mean someone will "buy.it"

 

[DnEbook]

if your happy .....all's good , i think good hacks stand out

 

[wmarais]

Debate.it could be a nice forum/blog site. But I think haul has the most potential as developed site. I would have renewed them as well.

Good Luck!

I think they are both GREAT Hacks - I would develop them - What sort of Traffic do they get?

Thats the key thing in renewing them, if you arent going to develop them and there not getting hits then why bother but if there is traffic and an opportunity to develop you did the right thing with renewing them
