discuss I said I wasn't going to do it but I just bought my first .app domain

[MapleDots]

I have always stuck to .ca and .com domains and have shied away from almost all other extensions.

With some of the big boys touting the possibility off .app making it I still said I would not do it.

Well guess what?

I found one off my domains suits itself incredibly well to the .app extension that I actually went ahead and registered it.

Photogr.app

It matches my photograpp.com domain

So tell me what you think

Would you have registered www.photogr.app ?​

 

[Daniel Owens]

I would not have

Get your $ back

Hope this helps:
photograpp d0t com reseller $120 end-user $4500
Photogr d0t app reseller $7 - $20 end-user $35
You, see your .com is somewhat decent the app is not good at all, I'd never buy that app for even $0.99

As I said, I do not normally buy .app extensions, but in this case the ownership of the .app brings more value to the .com and as a pair they compliment each other.

Yeah, just my two cents you most likely paid $16.99 with the current GD promo for the extension which I'd personally get a refund. It is unlikely you will get any more from the .com by having the .app hack, buyer might even say just keep the .app I don't want it. However, I do wish you the best of luck, success and end-user.

I suppose if you think that photograpp dot com is good then you’d also like photogr dot app.

I am not saying one way or another.

But you should just be aware of why you’ve done what you’ve done.

Haaaaa

I guess I'd best be aware why I did what I did.

But YUP it was a protection buy for photograpp.com which has received a few low ball offers so I know it is attracting at least some attention.

Just found out something interesting....

.app & .dev domains require https to display in chrome without an error.

Nothing you can do unless you add an https certificate (which I can do, I own a wild card domain) but it is interesting that it displays properly in internet explorer but the owner of the extensions (google) decided they cannot display in chrome without https.

I just loaded my certificate and it should activate soon but this would be a big NAY for me if I ever considered buying more of them.

Its for all domain TLD's in Chrome browse https URL is necessary now a days.

The. APP extension is a secure namespace, so you need HTTPS and an SSL certificate for your website to load on most browsers.

BTW congrats on your .app name

Cheers

.app won't load without a certificate, other sites will load but be marked insecure.

It was a surprise to me that my .app would not load without a certificate.

I like your idea of owning both a match in app and com when the combination makes sense, like here.

I am sure you noticed this, but pic in .app was on NameBio today ($594).

Thank you for that but .app seems to be selling quite low compared to the .online extension.

Did you see kink.online below???? WOW $17,250

 

[Bob Hawkes]

It is a sale of king not kink I think? (although that is probably high value too )

Unfortunately these were added to NameBio database just after I did my last monthly ngTLD sales report or it would have taken second place. Quite often that helps, especially with .top sales and radix registry sales that are periodically reported.

But there have been .app sales in that range too, such as yesterday's dispatch sale at $15,000 and the host sale for over $13,000 in July. I think .app are still finding values since the record is sparse so far. If you scale .app by how large the pool is and how long it has been in resale, it is actually doing well, both in sales volume and average price.

HeHe

Too fast on the keyboard..... of course king

 

[lambo.com]

Sounds like crap. Photo-crap.

No offense!

 

[urlurl]

its a shorten-er and an added bonus to the new owner when they buy the .com

i did the same with one of my names too: r e f e r c l u b . com + r e f e r . c l u b

actually, its the only reason i would buy a new extension

Congrats. Make sure you got an SSL certificate or it will not work.

Yup added that and it works

I don't ever do the 'Protection' registrations these days. I did in the past, around 2000/5 but they never were even remotely wanted by the .com buyers (and I've dealt with a lot)
Besides once you start down that road it becomes never ending. It makes even less sense if it's for your own development
photograpp dot app anyone

Agreed there, and I generally refrain from that as well but this one just made sense because it actually had app in the name.

Probably my first and only .app registration

I'm going to disagree with you on that, Your second word is Grapp. It bares no resemblance to .App. It's a mind thingy, that identifies the association. been there and done that many times in the past. And of course you've now got the domain PHOTOGR.

honestly if you'd seen some of my early domains that incorporated the .COM as word ending registrations from the past, you'll kill yourself laughing.

one mistake and registration is of course, forgivable

I have a major website on .club including a forum and it loads fine http on Chrome browser no need for SSL. I just haven't gotten around to putting this site on my server which offers free https yet.

.app and .dev is owned by google and they will not load on chrome without an ssl certificate.

Other site like a .club will load with an insecure warning in front of the url but the .app and .dev will not load, instead you get a huge....

The only reason mine loads now is because I added ssl
