discuss IF YOU DONT OWN DOT COM YOU DONT HAVE MUCH!

[artstar]

Well after all the hype and hoopla and support ive had over the years trying to support other tlds its now time to admit, IF YOU DONT OWN THE DOT COM YOU DONT HAVE MUCH!

Dot com dot com dot com

No other will do, no other will take its place, no other has its value, no other has a chance against it!!!

I don't care if its now or 20 years from now if you don't own the dot com you are setting yourself up for a loss period end of story!

So to all you newbies, save your $$$$ now and buy or hand reg ONLY dot coms cause if you don't you will find you messed up bigtime!

"It takes money to make money."

- I think you forgot that startups operate at a loss until they succeed @dordomai

Most startups fail, some succeed, and I believe XYZ will be in the succeeding class.

You don't. I do (research).

P.S. If XYZ was on the verge of bankruptcy, who would purchase their company?

HINT: They own abc.xyz

109 newly funded startups and their domain names: MisterFly.com, Invenios.com, Ayr.com

Ka-Ching! We have a massive list this week with 109 startup companies that raised a whopping $522,862,499 in venture funding last week. Exactly 78% of them is using a .com for their domain name with the ccTLD coming in as a distant second with 8.2%. With five startups on the list, .io is represented quite well again, taking a 4.5% slice of the pie. We have three startups using a new gTLD this week: .Xyz, .Tech and a .Chat

It's a $5 million USD startup and they cannot even spell the name of their company correctly?

ImagenTechnologies.com


And that is one of the better .com's listed there. If it sucks in nGTLD, it will eventually suck in .com.

HINT: They own abc.xyz

why do you think they would buy them? xyz is not equal to alphabet. Google didn't want .Cars.

BTW I don't think that. xyz are on the verge of bankruptcy. When I said they were losing money I meant that the promotions that we have seen will eventually have to be reduced in many extensions because while they can lose money for while they can't do so forever.

 

[Sophia Alice]

Not in our lifetime. At least not in the u.s.

Domain resellers are not interested in xyz only because of the massive sale in the recent days , it has been showcased as cheap and crap

For end users it sounds good and unique and most of them really like the extension . I had personally heard the interest many times . and i have sold around 50 domains for the end users by approaching them with their relevant business names

Your question is not worth discussing @dordomai The overall point is:

If it's a bad name in GTLD, it will eventually be just as bad in .com.

Not necessarily. CheapSunglasses.gdn is not good. CheapSunglasses.com is a good domain.

CheapSunglasses.xyz (3 words to remember), CheapSunglasses.com (2 words to remember)

CheapSunglassesxyz.com = 3 words to remember = Pigeon sh*t, CheapSunglasses.xyz=?

 

[Chris Rice]

Not necessarily. CheapSunglasses.gdn is not good. CheapSunglasses.com is a good domain.

Sunglasses.com is good.
Sunglasses.xyz will be good.

CheapSunglasses.com is for a home-based business, not a respectable player in the industry.

Cheap.Sunglasses is best for a home based business too, not a $5 million USD startup.

That was just an example, you can use any other combination of words that you want.

Sunglasses.com 1 word to remember, very good.
Sunglasses.xyz 2 words to remember not as good.

Sunglassesxyz.com =Pigeon sh*t, Sunglasses.xyz= ?

When I first started investing in .XYZ it only had 1.6 million registrations but it has since beat .INFO and I expect it to break the .COM, .NET and .ORG triopoly sometime this year (currently at 6 million registrations).

They are inflating their figures by literally giving domains away. Why would they do that if demand is sound and strong ? I can think of at least one reason: trying to offset the huge drops. We have seen this scenario in .info years ago, cheap/free domains attract spammers. And it is unlikely that people are going to do quality development on a domain that is worthless. Prevalence of quality development is the ultimate test, and it is one that new extensions always fail.
.tk is a big TLD too, but domainers are not making sales in that TLD, because it's not attractive and has no aftermarket. I don't care if it's got 15, 20 or 23 million regs.

And have you noticed, Verisign are not selling names for $0.01, instead they keep increasing prices on .com/.net as allowed per icann contract. If their TLDs were under threat from new extensions then they would adjust their strategy. The only real competition to .com is ccTLDs and many end users will want both.

It doesn't entirely matter what is happening right now. What matters more is where the market will go in the future. And I think it is obvious that if a name is not good in GTLD, it's equivalent will decrease in .COM.

A company in a competitive market must accept the market price, but a monopoly can set a price that maximizes its own profit. Quantity and price are adjusted depending on the elasticity of demand for the product. If demand is inelastic, then the monopolist can increase profits by increasing prices, where the increase in price more than offsets the drop in quantity, but if demand is elastic, then the decrease in quantity sold will more than offset the increase in price, resulting in lower revenue for the monopoly.

Would you consider .com a monopoly at this point?

 

[artstar]

wow lots of banter here for sure!

newbie hype has obviously been the force behind xyz club etc etc overall for sure

hoping its the way out of poverty the majority of the world is in now

domains r relatively cheap to get into especially at first but once rereg fees kick in a ton of the junk will drop bigtime

anyone can get into the action and if u don't stay positive on your investment and hype it well whats the point in doing it?

until reality kicks in of course and the lust wears away then the veil will drop for some domainers to see the hype is over blown and they wasted a huge wad of $$$$$$ to registrars regging absolute garbage.

of course dot com has 100 million regs plus and who knows what % is also junk

as I said prior $$$ is and will be made in gtld sales now and in the future but its never ever going to equal, surpass dot com period end of story

Premium .com names will probably retain their value. But the garbage domains that include bad grammar, mis-spells and 3+ words will fall by the wayside.

The fact that multi-million dollar startups are using unattractive misspells and bad grammar in their .com domains, just goes to show how bad the industry needed nGTLDs. @artstar

 

[Wannabean]

I'm pro new g's but the renewals are a killer. They're not domainer friendly and that's what should concern everyone here.

First, I think you're probably a good dude. However, I have no idea why you're making predictions and stuff like that because, again, you haven't sold 1 domain yet, not 1. And China still hasn't banned .com, not sure why you keep bumping that thread.

And what I quoted makes no sense. You literally see for yourself these companies going for "unattractive misspells and bad grammar" .coms, while the new gtlds are sitting there. Yet, they're not using them. Why do you think that is? 3 out of the last 109 from the last page and not even good ones, nightfood.xyz?

 

[Kate]

A company in a competitive market must accept the market price, but a monopoly can set a price that maximizes its own profit.

My point is that consumers have plenty of choice, nobody is forced to buy .com and there are plenty of extensions to choose from.

Would you consider .com a monopoly at this point?

Some sort of semi-monopoly maybe. But it's not specific to .com. It's not like I can easily apply to run the .us TLD tomorrow, or the new extensions which are privately-owned and even less regulated.
Speaking of new extensions, they have no cap on pricing and you can see the crazy amounts they are trying to charge. At least .com doesn't have that kind of nonsense.

But what's holding them up then ? Why is .com still outgrowing new extensions ? The new extensions are a great solution looking for a problem. That must be why people are not embracing them.
