If you could create your own nGTLD...

[Grego85]

Hey all,

I'm just curious about what all of you would do with your own domain extension? I've always dreamed of starting my own one day, and I'm sure many of you have as well.

If you had the $185,000 + to create and run your own nGTLD domain extension, which name(s) would you choose and why? How much would the reg fee be? Would you reserve names? Would you price higher quality names at premium prices?

for me, I'd go with .find. Everyone on the internet is looking to find something, and .find would provide so many opportunities for web services dedicated to finding anything from apartments to zoos. Information, services, locations, everything is possible with an extension like .find.

I would expect a high volume of registrations, so I'd offer them for about $15.00. Of course I would probably list some of the better names for a premium fee, but nothing over $100.

What about you?

If i could create my own I think I would choose: .oy lol so I could have my last name
Is anyone here deciding to start one soon?

.con - not only that is a typo of .com (could probably make a lot of revenue just regging and parking better keywords that get lots of traffic on their .com version ), but it's also how I feel with this ridiculous premium rates that some of these new GTLDs charge for their better keywords :D

.Con is also short for Connard wich is the equivalent of Motherf*!#3r in french.

if ICANN allows
i will go for (dot)888
(dot)nearme , good volume of keywords using "near me"
(dot)shire , plenty of geo(town) names, so lot many killer domains i will own
